1. Cutting: Cut according to the blueprint to determine the length, precisely cutting the main steel sections.
2. Forming: Bend arcs, perform bending and shaping, processing curved components.
3. Welding: Weld the components together to ensure the quality of the weld seams.
4. Drilling: Use CNC to drill holes, process the connection holes.
5. Treatment: Perform surface protection treatments such as rust removal and painting.
6. Assembly: Pre-assemble the components, verify the overall dimensions.

Long-span main beams for factory buildings: These are the main beams used for large-span roof structures in heavy industrial buildings and storage workshops. They have strong bearing capacity and can eliminate intermediate columns, thereby freeing up internal space for use.
Supporting structure of the core tube in high-rise buildings: As the vertical load-bearing and lateral force-resisting components of the core tube in high-rise buildings, it enhances the overall seismic and wind resistance performance of the building.
Short-span steel structure bridge: Suitable for municipal short-span steel bridges and passage bridges. It has a light self-weight and quick installation, making it suitable for rapid on-site assembly construction.
Port lifting equipment track beam: Used as the load-bearing beams for port gantry cranes and quay cranes, it can withstand alternating loads for a long time and has good stability.
1. Strictly follow the AISC American standard production process, using materials such as A992, A572 Gr50, and A36. The delivery comes with a MTC material certificate, meeting the acceptance requirements of North American projects.
2. One-stop processing capability, supporting cutting, arc bending, drilling, welding, painting, and pre-assembly. This eliminates the hassle of multiple external collaborations for customers.
3. Stable batch supply capability. The W33 series and other large-sized wide-flange steel sections have ready-made blanks, which can be flexibly adjusted to the project schedule.
4. Compatible with North American logistics solutions. Familiar with the export process of the American line, supporting standard lengths, packaging, and shipping marks according to US specifications, with smooth customs clearance.
5. Our engineering team works alongside US design engineers to check drawings and section properties, offer product guidance, and lower on site construction risks.
Steel members receive surface protection ahead of shipment to guard against abrasion and corrosion in transit. Products are sorted by size and secured with heavy duty steel bands. Large profiles get extra bracing and edge protectors to keep them straight and avoid distortion.
After bundling, clear shipping marks are attached, indicating the specifications, furnace number, weight and destination information. This facilitates the US side in counting and verifying.
Containers can be selected for loading or bulk cargo can be loaded onto ships based on the order. The stable inter-layer padding method is preferred, and the lifting landing point is strictly controlled to ensure the stability of the entire shipping process.
Corresponding customs clearance documents such as packing lists and material certificates are also provided simultaneously. The documents are in one-to-one correspondence with the cargo information, helping North American customers complete customs clearance and pick-up quickly.
Q: Can the W33 series American Standard H-shaped steel provide material certificates in accordance with the AISC standards?
A: Yes. Each batch of goods comes with a formal MTC material sheet, with the information and furnace number corresponding one-to-one, meeting the requirements for engineering inspection in North America.
Q: Can we perform deep processing such as bending arcs, drilling, and welding according to our drawings?
A: Yes. We can undertake complete custom processing including cutting, drilling, shaping, welding, painting, pre-assembly, etc., producing according to the tolerance of the drawings.
Q: Is the delivery in bare bundles or can special protective packaging be provided?
A: The regular packaging is steel band bundling. We can add anti-rust film, protective corners, and isolation padding as needed, suitable for long-distance maritime transportation to prevent rust and scratches.
Q: Can we arrange batch shipments to match the schedule of the American project?
A: We support batch production and shipment. We will provide the production and loading progress in a timely manner to facilitate the customer's on-site construction arrangement.
