The Importance of Structural Steel Fabrication in the Construction Industry
Structural Steel Types and Grades
Structural steel comes in various shapes and grades to meet specific design requirements. The most commonly used shapes for structural steels are I, T, and C, which are classified by the shape of their cross-sections. The grade of the steel affects its mechanical properties, and different grades must be chosen according to design requirements. Here are some of the standard structural steel materials:
​
-
Carbon steels:Carbon steel is defined as steel that does not require the addition of any other alloying element, such as tungsten, zirconium, cobalt, or nickel. Its copper content should not exceed 0.4%, and other components such as silicon, manganese and copper should not exceed specified percentages in weight. Carbon steels are categorized by their carbon content as low-carbon, medium-carbon, high-carbon, and ultrahigh-carbon steels. They are primarily used in structural pipes and tubing.
​​
-
High strength low alloy steels:
This type of steel is designed to have better mechanical properties and be more resistant to atmospheric corrosion than carbon steel. It can contain up to 2.0% manganese; small amounts of other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, nitrogen, vanadium, niobium, and titanium can be added to alter the properties. Weathering steels, a sub-type of high-strength, low-alloy steels, are highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion by forming a passive, rust-like layer on the surface. They are commonly used in structural shapes and plates.
​​
-
Forged steels:
Forging is the process of shaping metal in a solid state by applying thermal and mechanical energy to steel ingots or billets. This process introduces a uniform grain structure to the material, decreasing discontinuity in the matrix by removing voids and gas bubbles and increasing overall strength.
​​
-
Structural steel grades: Many standards worldwide define structural steel by its shapes and dimensions. These standards specify the angles, tolerances, sizes, and cross-sectional measurements of the steels and assign them names accordingly.
​
Understanding structural steel's different types and grades is essential for choosing the suitable material for specific applications. Contact us for any information you need.

Structural Steel Shapes
​Choosing the correct type of structural steel is essential for ensuring the success and safety of any construction project. Each type and grade of steel offers distinct benefits tailored to specific applications, from large commercial builds to smaller residential projects. Below is a breakdown of some of the most commonly used types of structural steel and their uses
Angles: These L-shaped steel sections are commonly used for bracing, framing, and support structures. The angles, available in various sizes and thicknesses, ensure stability and structural integrity in your projects.
Tubing: Our steel tubing options provide versatility and strength, which is ideal for applications such as handrails, machinery frames, and architectural designs. With precise dimensions and high-quality construction, our tubing guarantees optimal performance and durability.
I-beams: Known for their distinctive H-shaped cross-section, I-beams offer superior load-bearing capacity, making them indispensable for building frames, bridges, and heavy-duty structures. Terrick Enterprises Ltd. supplies exceptional quality and strength I-beams to meet your project requirements.
Wide flange beams: With a broader flange than standard I-beams, wide flange beams distribute weight more evenly, enhancing stability and structural integrity. Our wide flange beams are engineered to withstand heavy loads and provide long-lasting support for industrial and commercial construction projects.
Channels: These C-shaped steel sections are commonly used for structural support, framing, and reinforcement. We offer various channels for various applications, ensuring reliable performance and durability.
Plates: Our steel plates are available in various thicknesses and dimensions, making them suitable for diverse structural and construction projects. Whether you need floor, base, or structural steel plates, we provide high-quality options to meet your specifications.
Bars: From round bars to square bars, we offer a comprehensive range of steel bars to suit different construction requirements. Our bars are crafted with precision and durability, ensuring optimal performance in various applications, including reinforcement, framing, and fabrication.
Structural Steel Fabrication Process
At Terrick Enterprises Ltd., we pride ourselves on our ability to offer custom structural steel solutions. Whether your project demands standard pieces or highly customized components, we are equipped to handle it all.
Planning and drawing: Every project begins with detailed architectural and engineering drawings. These serve as the blueprint for fabrication.
​
Cutting steel components: Steel is cut into the required shapes and sizes using various advanced tools, such as saws, plasma cutters, or lasers.
​
Shaping: Steel components are then shaped using a variety of tools. We use skilled techniques like bending, rolling, or pressing to achieve the desired forms.
​
Assembly: After shaping, the components are assembled using welding or bolting, depending on the project requirements.
​
​Quality checks: To ensure high standards, every piece undergoes quality checks to confirm that it meets the precise specifications for strength, durability, and performance.
​
​
​
The result? A highly robust and tailored structure, built to last!
