Steel fabrication in its simplest form is the process of cutting bending and shaping steel to create a product or structure. The process involves taking many pieces of metal and attaching them to form a predefined shape and size. Some of the common uses for steel fabrication include the construction of car parts and appliances; however, it can also be used on a much larger scale to build entire structures. This is what is called heavy steel fabrication. Some of the structures that are made through heavy steel fabrication include ships, large buildings and major piping systems.
