Steel Technical Consulting Group

We close the gap between the drawing and the shop floor.

Structural design, fabrication detailing, production planning, and plant operations — delivered by people who have run the line, not only drawn it.

Typical reasons plants call us

Close-up of a steel weld in fabrication

01

Parts don't fit

The drawing looked right. Then holes missed, or pieces wouldn't assemble.

CNC cutting a steel plate

02

The line can't hit capacity

The machines are there, but work piles up in a few spots.

Sheet metal press brake forming a steel panel

03

People aren't running the process the same way

Operators and supervisors need training that matches how the shop actually works.

Dimensional inspection of a machined steel part

04

Quoted output isn't what you get

The number on paper isn't the number the line holds week after week.

The drawing and the shop have to match.

A drawing that looks fine on screen can still fail when someone tries to cut or assemble it. New machines don't help if the flow around them is wrong. We work on both.

Services

Two kinds of work

Hire us for design, for the plant, or for both. Most jobs sit in one of these two groups.

Structural & Design

Structural design and shop packages your fabrication team can actually use.

  • Structural steel design & drafting
  • Sheet metal & fabrication detailing
  • CAD / BIM modeling
  • Interference & tolerance review

Operations & Plant

How the product is made, how the line is set up, and how people run it.

  • Process design
  • Production planning & line balancing
  • Equipment selection & specs
  • Install & commissioning
Operations & Plant →

Assess. Design. Implement. Verify.

    Change what's actually slowing you down.

  3. Roll-forming line producing steel panels

    03 Implement

    Put it in with the people who will run it.

  4. Operator running a fabrication machine from the control station

    04 Verify

    Check the result, then adjust if needed.

Who we work with

We work with manufacturers in the product areas below. We don't sell buildings or steel packages.

Pre-engineered steel building frame with bolted portal connections

M-01

Building systems

Pre-engineered steel buildings: frames, connections, and the shop package that goes with them.

Cold-rolled steel coils stored in a mill warehouse

M-02

Cold rolled

Cold-rolled work: forming, tolerances, and keeping the line on spec.

Stacked hot-rolled steel plate in a mill yard

M-03

Hot rolled

Hot-rolled structural and mill products, from detail through production.

Laser-cut sheet metal parts nested on a plate

M-04

Sheet metal

Sheet and trim: cuts, forms, holes, joints, and drawings the floor can follow.

We work with steel plants, not with people buying a building.
