Fabrication
Our fabrication capabilities are best described as "versatile." We are committed to being competitive on as many types of projects as possible. For simplicity's sake, we divide our fabrication capabilities into two distinct categories: Fab 1 and Fab 2.
Fab 1 consists of beam and column fabrication, a typically simple fabrication that relies on the latest technology and automation to achieve maximum efficiency.
Fab 2 involves more complex fabrication, where Merrill Steel shines within the steel fabrication industry. This consists of anything that requires true skill and craftsmanship. Examples include: large, shop-assembled trusses, oversized plate girders, or modularized plate fabrications. We excel in complex work due to our skilled workforce, abundant workspace, and lifting capacity.
Merrill Steel does its utmost to ensure that our customers receive a product that meets the highest standards of quality, which is a cornerstone of our success. We have developed a system in which quality is built into the entire fabrication process, resulting in each piece being inspected multiple times in production. Merrill Steel currently has eight Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI), two NACE inspectors, one ASNT NDT Level 3, six Level 2 UT/MT Technicians, and three CWB Canadian Welding Supervisors. Given the size, function, and placement of the pieces we manufacture for our clients, it's absolutely crucial that we build them to the highest possible standards of quality each and every time. At Merrill Steel, quality isn't just a slogan or talking point, it's integral to everything we do.
