Close-Up TV News Recognizes Structural & Steel Products

Fort Worth, TX 8/4/2008 7:00:00 PM

Close-Up TV News recognizes Structural & Steel Products as a leader in the manufacturing and distribution of custom fabricated steel and metal products.

The foundation of Structural & Steel Products’ business has always been in the transportation market with four distinct categories: Construction, Safety, Traffic Control and Energy Related Construction. Within each of these categories, a variety of custom fabricated steel products are required, each with a unique design and manufacturing elements. Some examples of these transportation products include safety products like vehicle and pedestrian bridge rails and traffic control products such as signal intersection structures and overhead sign structures.

“If you tour our facility, you’ll see transportation products stacked up everywhere,’ says Dan Banks, president of Structural & Steel Products, Mfg. “We can build our sign structures for the highway department to our own schedule and once complete, they’ll come out and inspect it. We then ship it to the job site whenever they are ready for it. So we can kind of ebb and flow that product line as we need to in order to make short-term deliveries for our other customers. It makes for a really nice mix.”

The size of the Structural & Steel Products facility and its state-of-the-art equipment are two of the primary reasons customers rely on the company for their custom fabrication needs. The 177,000 square foot facility is all under one roof and has 27 overhead bridge cranes ranging in size from 5-ton to 20-ton capacity. In addition, there is a 60-foot press break allowing them to bend metal up to 60 feet in length and is critical to making the pole structures required for the industries they serve.

“There aren’t many 60-foot press breaks in existence,” says Banks. “Making poles is just one of the things that we do with the press break. Our approach is if it needs to be bent and it needs a big press, we’re here to do that. If you’re making river barges and need parts that are extremely long to fit that river barge, it saves you from having to make more welds by using a longer piece. If you’ll come to us in Fort Worth, I’ll bend it for you.”

Still, even with all their capabilities Banks understands the success of Structural & Steel Products rests on the quality of their employees.

“Quality starts by having the right people in the right jobs,” says Banks. “You have to have people who understand how to do the product right. Ultimately, everyone here understands that quality is in the hands of the guy who is doing the work and putting the product together.”
