Steel Erecting

Why Steel Erecting is the Backbone of Modern Day Construction

There’s a reason why steel has become the go-to material for constructing today’s commercial buildings. From homes to barns and everything in between, steel’s versatility has made it indispensable in modern construction. At H&R Industrial, our decades of experience in steel erecting have made us a top choice for custom-designed structures in the Kokomo area and beyond. Let’s explore why steel is a favorite material for structural frames for Indiana businesses.

The Science of Steel Strength

Steel's strength lies in its unique composition and molecular structure. Made mostly of iron and carbon, steel’s combination allows it to bear heavy loads without warping or collapsing.

The microscopic structure of steel includes grains that create a crystalline lattice. This increases its ability to hold weight and withstand stress.

A Brief History of Steel in Construction

Steel has a long-standing history in construction, dating back to the Industrial Revolution when its use revolutionized building processes. Advancements in production and fabrication techniques have refined its qualities. Today, steel is used in everything from skyscrapers to bridges, illustrating its flexibility and engineering marvel.

The Art of Steel Erecting

At H&R Industrial, our process begins with designing and creating steel structures to meet each customer's specifications. Precision is key, so every piece must align perfectly within the structure's framework.

Steel erecting is not just about construction. At H&R Industrial, we pride ourselves on our craftsmanship and individualized service. Our fabricators will design and produce the steel structure for your building based on your specifications. Then, when it's time to actually build your structure, we offer crane service. We have 30-ton and 40-ton cranes to do the job for a wide range of building types, including residential homes, office complexes, agricultural buildings, and more.

So, if you need a trustworthy steel erecting service in Bloomington, Indianapolis, Westfield, Kokomo, Lafayette, Fort Wayne, South Bend, or beyond, we're here to help. Contact H&R Industrial online or at (765) 868-8408 today.
