Engineering & Design
Precision Engineering Built Around Your Site
Every APEX project begins with licensed Professional Engineers who design steel structures specifically for your site conditions. We don’t just offer a standard product; our approval process is built around customizing our designs to give you exactly what your site requires. Using advanced 3D modeling, we account for wind, snow, and seismic loads to ensure accuracy before fabrication begins.
Key Focus Areas:
Engineering Guidance: Direct access to expert input to solve complex site challenges.
Custom-Tailored Solutions: Designs modified to fit your specific footprint and performance needs.
Site-Specific Load Analysis: Licensed Engineer oversight on every design for total peace of mind.
Fabrication & Manufacturing
High-Quality Fabrication, Optimized for Logistics
Once designs are finalized, we move to fabrication in our 60,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. Our certified welders and state-of-the-art equipment ensure tight tolerances and consistent quality across every project. Fabrication is optimized for logistics, simplifying shipping and assembly in the field
Facility Capabilities:
Beam Line, Angle Master, and Tube Plasma/Laser.
High-capacity overhead cranes for efficient handling.
Precision Break Press and Flat Laser Cutting.
Finishes & Protection
Durable Finishes for Long-Term Performance
To extend the service life of steel structures, APEX Industrial recommends hot-dip galvanizing. This finish provides corrosion protection on both the inside and outside of steel members, helping prevent condensation-related cracking and degradation. Hardwearing finishes improve longevity while reducing maintenance costs.
Finishes and Protection Options:
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing
- Powder Coating
- Epoxy Paint
- Industrial Enamel Paint
- Stainless Steel Options
Delivery & Assembly
Streamlined Assembly for Faster Results
APEX Industrial structures are fabricated to minimize field labor and assembly time. Our team designs connections with fewer parts and bolts to reduce installation complexity. We also optimize each order for shipping and unloading so you can get your project up and running as efficiently as possible.
Let's build something that lasts.
