Steel Structure Fabrication

Skylink offers superior services in the field of Steel fabrication. We are the top steel fabricators in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Our qualified workforce has been implementing projects in multiple sectors with the highest level of client satisfaction.We undertake fabrication work consisting of building metal structures by cutting, bending, machining, assembling, welding, painting, and also performing QA inspection processes. Our extensive experience in steel fabrication gives us the knowledge and skill to custom-build anything your project requires.

Steel is extensively used in a lot of industries as it is a strong and versatile metal. But to make it useful, it needs to be fabricated as per the purpose for which it is being used. This could be simple cutting and painting to more complicated tasks. Every industry that uses steel, needs the services of a steel fabricator and Skylink is the chosen partner for the majority of these industries. We have serviced clients in residential and commercial construction businesses, the mining industry, and auto industries among others.

Common items fabricated include ladders, platforms, beams, columns, stairs, etc.

The process

The main task of steel fabrication is to transform manufactured steel into required shapes or items. Our designers draw detailed drawings so that the fabricators can use their skill and knowledge to carefully bring the drawings to life. This is a specialized job as it needs to be performed with absolute precision so that it can be installed as required. The fabrication tasks have to closely mirror the project schedule so that each item is ready when it needs to be installed. Delays and corrections can have an impact on the project cost and schedule.

Skylink relies on modern and innovative technologies for its steel fabrication process. Our team of expert fabricators is experienced in technologies like Computer Numerical Control and 3D modelling to deliver high-quality and durable fabricated items. CNC helps to monitor and control the machinery used in the steel fabrication process such as welders and laser cutters. 3D modelling helps in the visualization of complex designs and makes the fabrication process easier.

Techniques commonly used

Skylink, our teams perform the following techniques of steel fabrication.

Cutting

We use several different ways to cut the steel sections into the desired length before fabricating them. Equipment and techniques used include circular saws, plasma cutting, and flame cutting.

Welding

Welding is the process of using high heat to melt the parent material with the component being attached to it. When the weld pool cools and solidifies, the two are fused to form a strong and durable joint. Welding is used to attaching fixtures and fittings as well as for the installation of the components on the site.

Shot blasting

The shot blasting process is used to prepare the steel sections for fabrication. Shot blasting makes the sections easy to weld and also roughens up the smooth surfaces so that when painted, the paint holds on better and stays longer

Coating

At the end of the fabrication process, coatings are applied to the steel. The purpose of the coating is many – coatings protect against corrosion and fire damage, improve the aesthetics, and provide a custom look for the components if requested by the architect

Bending

Many of the fabricated components requires that the steel elements be bent. Our professionals are experts in various rolling and bending techniques to create the right level of curve to create beautifully curved components. Techniques commonly used in this process are bending rolls and press breaking.

Cutting

We use several different ways to cut the steel sections into the desired length before fabricating them. Equipment and techniques used include circular saws, plasma cutting, and flame cutting.
