The Importance of Welding Pre-Treatments
STI Group is dedicated to providing the highest quality welding and fabrication services. All of our welds are rigorously tested for quality and safety. A major part of ensuring excellent weld quality begins before the welding process even makes contact with the work surface: welding pre-treatments. Pre-Treatments Ensure a Safe Weld When a welder does […]
How Structural Steel Platforms Optimize Workspaces
Space is at a premium in industrial facilities, plants, and warehouses. That is because not only must there be adequate space to place and store everything, but there also cannot be a disruption to workflow or efficiency. Fortunately, just because space is getting tight, does not necessarily mean that the facility will have to expand […]
Effective Ways to Customize Industrial Facilities With Structural Steel Fabrication
Steel ladders, steel platforms, and steel knock down units can be instrumental to effective industrial operations. These sturdy items can handle the extreme wear and tear of the industry while remaining functional. Workers use these to safely access all parts of an industrial facility and frequently, these pieces of equipment require a customized build to […]
How Industrial Facilities Can Save Money With Structural Steel Platforms
At most industrial and commercial facilities space is at a premium. Over time it is common for a facility to outgrow its current structure. However, expanding the facility or moving to a new location may not be feasible for a variety of reasons. Fortunately there is a solution that can potentially not only solve a […]
How Modular Pipe Racks Allow For More Project Flexibility
Pipe racks are vital to the functioning of a variety of industrial plants and facilities. In particular construction projects and oil and gas related projects are likely to require pipe racks. However, pipe rack construction can be complicated and costly, depending on the terrain where the pipe rack will be used and the specifications required. […]
How Pipe Rack Modules Allow for Faster Project Completion
Large construction projects that support and help maintain factory piping can be challenging and hard to complete efficiently. One of the major advances in speeding up the process is through the fabrication of modular pipe rack modules, enhancing quality control and efficiency in piping design. Modular pipe racks are basically pipe support frameworks that are […]
The Advantages of Knock-Down Steel Units
Transporting and installing or uninstalling bulky steel units can be a costly and difficult endeavor, especially if the unit needs to fit into a small or oddly-shaped space. To address this issue, fabricators like the STI Group have made available knock-down steel units that can be easily disassembled and reassembled as needed. Using knock-down units […]
Building Strong, Reliable Structural Steel Platforms
Anyone who has ever worked in an industrial facility has almost certainly noticed that space is typically at a premium. Between industrial equipment, materials, inventory, and supplies, and the need for open workspace, it is crucial that every foot be put to good use. One extremely effective method of doing this is through the use […]
Understanding Ductwork Fabrication Industry Standards
It is crucial that all industrial ductwork fabrication fully meet all industry standards. That is because process ductwork needs to be able to carry huge amounts of very hot and often dusty air from one place to another. This air may reach temperatures as high as 900 – 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (482 – 515 degrees […]
Considerations for Fabrication of Flues That Are Built to Last
A flue is any type of duct that is used to transport waste gases produced by a process that burns fuel. They are an essential component of industrial facilities designed to transport the waste gases safely out of the facility. This is crucial for keeping the air quality safe for people who work in the […]
