    Build-up Fabrication of Heavy Beams

    Build-up Fabrication of Heavy Beams

    The build-up fabrication of heavy beams involves the assembly of individual components to create large and robust structural beams. The process creates framed structures consisting of individual cut to size pieces of flat steel joined into a single unit by hot welding process. Built-up beams are mainly used as structural elements whereby it strictly adheres to the designers’ vision of the final structure.

    Build-up Fabrication Process

    The build-up fabrication process of heavy beams is commonly used in construction and engineering projects where the size or load-bearing capacity of standard beams is insufficient. It consists of several sequential steps that help create robust frameworks for various applications.

    Material Selection

    Part of the build-up fabrication process of heavy beams include choosing high-strength materials suitable for the intended application. Common materials include structural steel, which can be in the form of plates, angles, channels, or other sections, depending on the design.

    Cutting and Preparation

    Cut the individual components to the required dimensions using cutting tools such as saws, shears, or plasma/oxy-fuel cutting systems. Ensure accurate measurements and bevels for proper fit-up.

    Fit-Up

    Fit the cut components together to form the desired beam shape. This may involve welding, bolting, or a combination of both. Achieve proper alignment and make any necessary adjustments.

    Welding

    Use welding techniques, such as arc welding or submerged arc welding, to join the components securely. Welding may be performed on one or both sides of the joint, depending on design specifications.

    Post-Weld Treatment

    Apply any necessary post-weld treatments, such as stress relieving or heat treatment, to improve the strength and integrity of the welded joints.

    Quality Control

    Conduct inspections and tests, including visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and dimensional checks, to ensure the quality and compliance of the fabricated heavy beams with relevant standards and specifications.

    Surface Treatment

    Apply coatings or treatments to protect the beams from corrosion or environmental factors. This may include painting, galvanizing, or other corrosion-resistant coatings.

    Delivery and Installation

    Transport the fabricated heavy beams to the construction site and install them according to the project requirements. Ensure proper alignment and connection with other structural elements.

    Build-up fabrication allows for the customization of heavy beams based on specific project needs, ensuring that the final structure meets the required strength and load-bearing capacity. Skilled welders and fabricators play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and integrity of the fabricated heavy beams.

    At Regan Industrial, we offer a wide variety of steel sections including those of regular hot rolled beams and built-up beams to get the job done. We can supply our customers with a range of steel sections such as H-beams, I-beams, T-beams and other equal-legged beams. They are suitable for installation in networks of stable steel framing. Our beams have been specifically designed and engineered and made available to suit the designers’ preferences for its desired application. Contact us to learn more.
