What Is Steel Fabrication And Why Is It So Important?

How It's Done

Steel mills around the world churn out billions of steel components every single day, and it's up to steel fabricators to turn these components into everyday items. Using a wide array of techniques like welding, burning, forming, moulding, cutting and machining, fabricators make everything from farm machinery to rollercoasters.

Using highly specialised tools and techniques that take years to learn, fabricators take raw steel and form it into just about every shape imaginable for a range of purposes: They roll it to make floors, they cut it to make shapes, they weld it together into structures and machine it into highly specialised tools and parts.

Why Is It Important?

The world consumes 1.8bn tonnes of steel every year, the highest figure in history and an increase of nearly 10x since 1950. The vast majority of that steel is turned into consumer goods of all kinds as well as civil and other engineering projects that supply the world with infrastructure.

Without steel fabrication, we wouldn't have all the amazing machines that produce everything from cars to computers to space rockets. We wouldn't have rigs to bring oil and gas to shore, we wouldn't have power stations to produce heat and light, we wouldn't have bridges, or cranes, or stadiums.
