Structural Steel | Lightweight Structure Materials

Structural steel is the type of steel that is used for construction resources or materials. They can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, strengths and chemical compositions. Structural steel is commonly used in construction because of its versatility and ability to be welded to fit virtually any purpose in the construction of a building as well as structures.

To ensure the quality and safety if the steel, the integrity, chemical compositions and mechanical properties are all regulated by a variety of organizations. PFEIFER Structures has an 80,000 square foot steel fabrication warehouse were it fabricates its own structural steel. Our steel is certified by the International Accreditation Services board (IAS) as meeting, or exceeding the highest standards in the steel fabrication industry.

At PFEIFER Structures, we mainly use cold-formed seamless carbon steel and uphold the highest quality standards for our steel fabrication process.
