Steel Fabricator

For over 60 years structural steel fabrication has been the backbone of our business. Our Iron Workers truly are men of Steel. To give them every advantage, the LeJeune shops are equipped with the latest in steel fabrication equipment. This includes Controlled Automation 5 press CNC beam line and ESAB 2 torch CNC with optical tracer. Precision is a must when it comes to welding, cutting, bending, cambering, drilling and punching structural steel components. Data required for shop fabrication is downloaded directly from our Detailing System to our shop equipment, allowing us to ship more error-free steel than ever before. Our QA/QC requirements and procedures provide further assurance that LeJeune's quality is the BEST in the industry. At LeJeune our highly skilled work force has an arsenal of tools to fabricate accurately and quickly.
