Structural Steel
Shawnee Steel makes complex structures across the USA
Challenges
Our partners at Shawnee Steel have been in business since 1945 and do projects across the United States. One of their strengths is producing accurate complex patterns. Working with steel is serious business, and when you have complex patterns within large structures, every angle and curve is critical, and being off a fraction of an inch on one section can be the difference between failure and success.
Solutions
Bending steel had traditionally required the use of hammers, wedges and pry bars in conjunction with a lot of heat to make the steel more malleable. Now, this process is accomplished with BVA pumps and cylinders.
Benefits
Safety and efficiency are critical in the steel business. What used to be a dangerous and laborious process that yielded inconsistent results, is now faster, safer, and consistent. As Shawnee Steel says about using the “well built” BVA pumps and cylinders “it’s very much a time saver; makes everything easier and more efficient and helps us build a better quality product.”
