Precision Steel Fabrication for Infrastructure Backbone

In the world of modern infrastructure, precision, reliability, and load-bearing performance are non-negotiable. At Build Matt, we specialize in high-performance steel fabrication solutions for most demanding structural applications — from long-span bridge girders to telecommunication towers, transmission structures, and customized heavy steel components for industrial-scale projects.

With over two decades of experience, Build Matt serves as a trusted partner to EPC contractors, infrastructure developers, railways, and government agencies, delivering mission-critical steel assemblies fabricated with precision, certified materials, and stringent quality control.

Heavy Steel Fabrication Services

Our steel fabrication division is dedicated to the design and manufacture of high-load steel components tailored for civil and industrial infrastructure. We take on complex fabrication assignments for:

  • Highway and railway bridge girders
  • Lattice towers for power and telecom transmission
  • Custom trusses and built-up beams for industrial structures
  • Heavy welded I-beams and plate girders
  • Portal frames and modular pre-assembled components

We offer a comprehensive solution — from shop drawing development and CNC-enabled fabrication to trial assembly, surface finishing, packaging, and dispatch.

Our Scope of Steel Fabrication Capabilities

Build Matt provides fabrication solutions for a wide array of structural applications, engineered to meet national and international standards. Our expertise spans:

Bridges & Flyovers

  • Welded plate girders (up to 3m depth)
  • Box girders and I-girders for railway and highway bridges
  • Bearing seats, splice plates, diaphragms, and cross frames
  • Pre-cambered components to match load-deflection curves

Towers & Lattice Structures

  • Angular and tubular towers for telecom and power lines
  • Fabrication of tower legs, cross arms, bracing, and anchoring components
  • Heavy steel monopole segments for high-wind zones

Industrial Girders & Trusses

  • Custom girder assemblies for crane gantries, conveyor bridges, and truss rafters
  • Portal frames for PEB and large-span warehouse projects
  • Welded built-up sections with stiffeners, gussets, and end plates

We supply both knocked-down and pre-assembled units as per client site logistics and lifting limitations.

Build Matt Steel Structure Manufacturing & Engineering Capabilities

Our state-of-the-art fabrication facility is equipped with high-capacity cranes, automated welding stations, CNC cutting machines, and dedicated bays for trial assembly and inspection. This allows us to maintain consistent dimensional accuracy, even for large and complex assemblies.

Core Capabilities Include:

  • CNC plasma/oxy-fuel cutting for plates up to 100 mm thickness
  • SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) for deep penetration welds
  • MIG/MAG/SMAW for structural connections and site welds
  • Automatic beam welding lines for built-up sections
  • Edge preparation, straightening, and cambering stations

All fabrication follows client-approved Quality Assurance Plans (QAP) with third-party inspections if required. Key inspection stages include:

  • Dimensional verification
  • Welding joint inspection (visual, UT, RT, or MPI)
  • Load testing or trial erection (if specified)
  • Surface finish and dry film thickness checks for painting/coating

Steel Surface Treatment & Protective Coatings

We offer a range of corrosion protection finishes suitable for harsh outdoor exposure and long-term durability:

  • Shot blasting to SA 2.5 standard
  • Zinc-rich epoxy primers with PU topcoats
  • Hot-dip galvanizing for tower components
  • Dual-coat systems for marine or coastal environments
  • Thermal zinc spray on demand

All coatings are applied as per IS and SSPC standards, with DFT (dry film thickness) monitoring, adhesion testing, and curing checks conducted as part of QA.

Precise Steel Engineering & Detailing Support

At Build Matt, fabrication begins with precise engineering and detailing. Our in-house design team works closely with EPCs, consultants, and project engineers to develop fabrication-ready shop drawings using the latest design tools:

  • Tekla Structures for 3D modeling and interference checks
  • AutoCAD for plate detailing and assembly drawings
  • STAAD Pro for structural member validation and load simulation
  • Weld maps, bolt lists, and bill of materials generation

We ensure that every drawing aligns with erection strategy, transport limitations, and fabrication sequence — resulting in accurate fitment at site and minimal rework.

Types of Steel Structures We Deliver

Structure Type Components Offered
Bridge Girders Welded plate girders, diaphragms, bearing stiffeners, cross frames, end plates
Telecom Towers Legs, bracings, horizontal members, ladder systems, platforms, cable trays
Transmission Towers Angular/tubular sections, gusset plates, anchoring systems, cross arms
Industrial Girders Welded I-beams, built-up beams, lattice girders, box sections
Portal Frames & Trusses Rafters, tie beams, knee braces, end wall columns, connection plates

Each item is fabricated with tight tolerances, unique part numbering, and proper lifting lugs to ensure smooth handling, transportation, and on-site assembly.

Build Matt – Your Strategic Partner in Structural Steel Fabrication

At Build Matt, we don’t just fabricate steel — we engineer reliability into every joint, beam, and connection we deliver. Our clients choose us because we combine technical precision, large-scale fabrication capacity, and industry-aligned execution practices that meet the most rigorous demands of infrastructure development.

Here’s why Build Matt stands apart:

Industry-Leading Fabrication Precision

Our facilities are equipped with automated production lines, capable of handling complex fabrication jobs with exceptional accuracy. Every girder, tower segment, or truss is checked for dimensional compliance, camber, and weld integrity before dispatch. The result is consistent output, even for high-volume, high-tonnage projects.

Turnkey Capability with Engineering Support

We support clients from the earliest stages — from reviewing tender BOQs to optimizing fabrication designs for weight, efficiency, and ease of erection. Our in-house engineering team ensures tight coordination between structural analysis, shop drawing development, and actual fabrication workflow.

Time-Bound Deliveries with QA/QC Control

We understand the importance of timelines in infra projects, especially those linked with government contracts or large-scale public assets. Build Matt operates with a zero-defect, zero-delay philosophy, backed by robust QA protocols, progressive inspection systems, and material traceability — ensuring smooth audits and EPC handovers.

Logistical Efficiency

Heavy steel structures require precise packaging, handling, and route planning. Our dispatch team ensures:

  • Component-level marking & bundling
  • Pre-assembly trials (if needed)
  • fe loading based on length and transport regulations
  • Coordination with clients for erection sequencing

This ensures minimal rework at site and optimized crane operations during installation.

Scalable Capacity for Large Projects

From a single tower frame to a fleet of bridge girders — Build Matt’s scalable infrastructure and experienced workforce allow us to fabricate and deliver over 1,000 MT/month, depending on project volume and component complexity. This makes us a preferred partner for time-sensitive national infrastructure assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Steel Structures

Lead times vary based on complexity and volume. For standard girder or tower projects, the average fabrication timeline ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, including QA and surface treatment.

Yes. Our design office works on Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and STAAD Pro to provide complete fabrication drawings, connection detailing, and optimization for structural loads and transport feasibility.

Absolutely. For critical infrastructure projects, Build Matt provides erection sequencing plans, lifting drawings, and trial assembly services to minimize downtime at site.

We follow a multi-stage inspection process, including material traceability, WPS-compliant welding, dimensional checks, and surface finish testing. QAPs are submitted to clients prior to production, and third-party inspections are supported upon request.

We fabricate bridge segments or tower assemblies in transportable lengths and modular parts, considering state-wise road permit rules, height/width limits, and craning needs.
