At our facility in Nisku, Alberta, we provide a full-service steel processing solution that streamlines production by keeping all operations under one roof. Our custom plate processing workflow is designed to handle every stage of fabrication, from initial design to the final formed component.
The process typically involves several key stages:
- In-house Design and Drafting: We use AutoCAD to create detailed shop drawings and cut sheets, ensuring your specifications are accurately translated into production plans.
- Precision Cutting: We utilize high-definition plasma cutting (including our Optiplex 3015 Fiber) for intricate shapes and heavy plate shearing for straight-line, high-volume accuracy.
- Steel Forming and Rolling: Our large-capacity press brakes handle precise bends, while our heavy plate rolling services produce shells, cones, and curved structural shapes up to one inch thick where width permits.
- Material Traceability: We maintain rigorous inventory control, linking mill test reports and heat numbers to every part to ensure full chain-of-custody tracking.
By utilizing mill-direct plate purchasing, we eliminate intermediary markups and feed material directly into our processing line. This integrated approach serves diverse industries across Western Canada, including oilfield, mining, and pressure vessel manufacturing.
