Once a project becomes an order,
the process starts at the Engineering and Steel Detailing Department.
The company counts with experienced detailers and a computerized
detailing system joined together by a Novel Local Area Network (LAN)
capable of producing shop drawings with the highest degree of accuracy
and efficiency. Once a job has been detailed and revised, computer files
are transferred via the LAN to the automated manufacturing equipment at
the shop known as the Peddinghaus CNC equipment. With this CAD-CAM
(Computer Aided Drafting-Computer Aided Manufacturing) arrangement,
beams and columns that are programmed using the steel detailing software
at the engineering department are instantly sent 500 feet away to the
plant to be fabricated.
With this in-line production
process, Structural Steel Works, Inc. fabricates over 200 tons of
structural steel per week using only one eight-hour shift.
Using high quality materials shipped
from the U.S., Europe and other world producers, Structural Steel Works,
Inc. (SSW) converts raw steel into perfectly engineered and precisely
fitted building superstructures. Beginning with plans made by structural
engineers in our drafting department from architectural blueprints. Our
manufacturing plant creates the beams, columns, steel joist, plates and
other elements that form the backbone of huge buildings, such as the
American Airlines terminal at Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport –
one of the largest project of its kind in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
After the material has been completely
fabricated, assembled and painted it is loaded on pre-planned sequence of trucks. This way when the material is received at the job site,
installations is performed with maximum efficiency and following the
priorities established by the client. Structural Steel Works, Inc. project
management procedures include computerized project schedules, job site
engineers, company owned motor cranes, experienced erection crews and
others.
In addition to manufacturing the traditional
steel construction members, our manufacturing facility also specializes in
miscellaneous steel work like stairs, railings, steel joists, platforms,
etc… Examples of this are the impressive ten flights fire escape steel
stair tower installed at the Mercantil Plaza in Hato Rey and the
pedestrian bridge spanning Roosevelt Ave and connecting the Puerto Rico
Telephone Company Building.
