We Love Steel!

Yes, it seems crazy and somewhat extreme, but we actually do wake up in the morning with a desire to work with steel. We create. We weld. We drill. We fasten. We assemble. We build… Steel! We work with Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Copper, Aluminum, Nickel Alloy, Forged Steel, Brass and Bronze. And we will consider working with additional steel each time our customers ask for our help. We like to say…

Just because we haven’t worked with it doesn’t mean we can’t!”

We are not a machine shop… we do not make the same part over and over. Rather, we are craftsmen taking on the challenge to serve each customer individually with excellence. When our customers supply the drawings, we put our team of experts to work to build what we see… what they want built. This helps us wake up each morning with a newness – a freshness – about our work and a deep desire to serve our customers with excellence. There is no need for us to boast about our efforts when our customers receive so much recognition for theirs. This is how it should be!

With the support of Advance’s fabrication services, it has allowed us to successfully complete multiple projects for our industrial clients — on time, on budget and with high quality. Advance’s committed partnership and approach to excellence in delivery has been refreshing in our demanding markets.

Transmission and distribution systems are part of the electrical grid and carry electricity from generators to consumers. These structures can be above ground or buried underground. Power transmission systems deliver large quantities of electricity from the main power generation facility to smaller, localized substations. From there, distribution lines deliver electricity to smaller end-points.

Transmission structures must be capable of handling large voltages without fail. Typically, these systems consist of tall poles or towers that create a highway for general electricity movement. Advance Industrial Manufacturing, Inc. can fabricate the lattice structural components to build efficient, reliable overhead supports. We also fabricate platforms, stairs, and handrails that make substations more safe to navigate.

Custom Metal Fabrication

Our primary focus is providing infrastructure solutions through custom metal fabrication in tunneling, mining, and power transmission/distribution applications. We use a variety of processes and machines to fulfill the requests of our clients, including:

• Forming
• Bending
• Shearing
• Rolling
• Drilling
• Sawing
• Plasma cutting
• Welding
