At Waukegan Steel, we deliver expert metal fabrication solutions tailored to the needs of commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. With decades of experience and a commitment to precision, our fabrication team transforms raw steel into reliable structural components that meet the most demanding specifications.

Our Steel Fabrication Capabilities

Plate Stock & Raw Materials

We begin with high-quality plate stock, ensuring every project starts with dependable raw materials. Our stock is managed and prepared in-house for efficient turnaround and seamless integration into the fabrication workflow.

Plasma Table & Precision Cutting

Our Hypertherm plasma table (80×40 ft) delivers precise, high-speed cuts to meet the most demanding fabrication requirements. It allows us to handle large-format steel plates with accuracy and speed.

CNC & Automated Processing

We utilize Peddinghaus and PythonX CNC equipment for cutting, drilling, shearing, and punching. This automation ensures consistency, efficiency, and tight tolerance across structural components.

Steel Fabrication Line Assembly

Our fabrication line is optimized for high-volume and complex builds. This is where raw parts are joined, welded, and assembled into frames, beams, and custom structures per project specs.

Finishing, Shipping & Logistics

Once fabrication is complete, components undergo final finishing—including painting and rigorous inspection—to ensure quality and durability. Our team then prepares each item for shipment with detailed labeling and secure loading practices.

With an organized shipping yard and dedicated fleet coordination, Waukegan Steel supports just-in-time delivery, multi-phase project staging, and efficient outbound logistics. Whether your site is local or across the country, we ensure your materials arrive safely, accurately, and on schedule.
