Aircraft Assembly Steel Supports

An aviation company has contracted us to perform aerospace fabrication for their aircraft maintenance team.

To support them, we work closely with their mechanical engineers to develop their designs and specifications into solutions.

The intention of this fabrication is to support their maintenance team’s access to aircraft components. Prior to final assembly, their team has to have custom steel platforms that support their work before the wings can be attached.

• This client asked for the decks to be built from A500 structural steel tubing. Initially we started with two decks built to specification with angles to conform to the aircraft’s contour. After we created those two, we mirrored the rest of our production.
• The aerospace fabrication team began their process by carefully placing the raw materials onto sturdy stands to provide a stable work surface. Following this initial step, they utilized Flux Core (FCAW) welding processes to efficiently piece together the various components that form the outer frame of the structure. This method of welding was chosen for its effectiveness in ensuring strong and durable connections between the materials, which is essential for the integrity of the aerospace components they were fabricating.
• The client conducted a thorough inspection to ensure that all elements were properly aligned, meeting the necessary level and square measurements, and fulfilling the specific requirements set forth in the project specifications. Once the client confirmed that everything was in order and met the standards, the team moved forward with the next stage of the process, which involved welding the inner frame together to create a sturdy and durable structure.
• After all of the components have been carefully welded together, our aerospace fabrication shop manager takes the time to perform a thorough quality control check. This check is an essential step in the process, as it ensures that everything has been assembled correctly and meets our high standards. The manager inspects various aspects of the work, looking for any potential issues that might need to be addressed, in order to guarantee the final product’s quality and functionality.
• The team delivers the final products to the client and begins work on the next set of fabrication projects.

• The aviation client has approved all the pieces for delivery and is looking forward to getting more excellent fabrication work for their mechanical team. The client has said that they appreciate the, “high quality, robust, custom-built steel fabrication for aviation, and fast response time!”
• The maintenance engineering team has expressed their appreciation for having a dependable and trustworthy aviation fabrication partner to work with. This positive relationship has led them to value our expertise and reliability in this field, and they are looking to expand our collaboration.
