Structural Steel

Beams, columns, brackets, embeds, and support structures—from model and shop drawings through fabrication.

Barnes structural steel work at an active project site

From model to finished steel

Project review, models, shop drawings, material processing, fit-up, welding, and finishing follow the approved scope.

Core structural work

Beams, columns, brackets, and embeds

Beams & columns

Moment frames, support structures, large beams, and columns fitted and handled in the Barnes shop.

Custom brackets

Project-specific brackets and connection hardware for architectural and structural work.

Embeds

Embed plates, anchors, and connections built for the locations shown in the project documents.

Barnes CAD and design work supporting structural fabrication

Digital structural workflow

Model it before we build it

The model shows interfaces, part relationships, and open questions before fabrication begins.

3D modeling

The model exposes interfaces and part relationships before steel reaches the shop floor.

Shop drawings

Parametric shop drawings show the approved parts to the customer and fabrication team.

Estimating & communication

Clear questions and visible revisions help turn a structural package into a scope the shop can build.

Related project proof

Large fabricated enclosures for critical infrastructure

The enclosure case study documents fabrication, welding, repeat production, assembly, finishing coordination, and handling at project scale.

Project qualifications

Send the code and documentation requirements

Current welder qualifications, test-center status, required documentation, and project fit are confirmed during estimating. Send the applicable code and submittal requirements with the drawings.

Handrails & stairs

Work coordinated with regional partners

Handrail and stair work may be coordinated through regional partners. The current arrangement and scope are confirmed project by project.

How Barnes works

Model the steel before fabrication

The model and shop drawings settle part details and interfaces before material reaches the floor.

  • Review project drawings and interfaces
  • Make the fabrication plan visible
  • Keep part and shop information aligned
