WHY USE AN AISC-CERTIFIED COMPANY?

Committed to Quality as the Highest Priority!

GDI has earned the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Standard for Steel Building Structures Certification. Only 5% of all steel fabricators in the entire Western U.S. hold this certification!

AISC Certification sets the quality standard for the steel industry and is the most recognized national quality certification program for the structural steel industry. GDI has passed a rigorous evaluation and is subject to annual reviews. Certification confirms that we have the personnel, knowledge, organization, equipment, experience, capability, procedures and commitment to produce the required quality of work for structural steel fabrication.

Benefits of AISC Certification to Our Customers:

Committed to Quality

Member companies are committed to quality and willing to subject themselves to outside review to foster continuous improvement

Quality Assurance

Auditors reviewing member company facilities have consulted hundreds of structural steel fabrication plants for quality improvement, ensuring that member companies are on the forefront of quality assurance

Upmost Quality Standard

GDI believes it is essential to keep stringent AISC standards in place to provide the highest quality product for its customers, minimize response time, minimize its on-site inventory, and provide a safe and effective workplace for its employees.

Stellar Performance

Member companies are familiar with quality systems and dedicate considerable resources to implement quality plans

The machine produces quality bolt holes approved for structural joints. The maximum hole diameter is 24” +. It can cut up to and including 1.25 inch thickness. It produces layout marks so there is no need for fit up for parts like clips and stiffners. It takes direct download from design software (X-Steel, SDS2, AutoCad and more). It cuts to length, copes with CNC accuracy, cuts slots, makes cutouts for bracing and knife connections, scribes text and piece marks, miter cuts, weld prep bevel cuts, rib I-Beams into T-Beams, cuts out any shape. This machine cuts parts to within 1/32 inch tolerance over the length of the part. The actual part tolerance is often tighter, as positioned repeatability of the cutting robot is 12 times more precise at 0.0026 inch accuracy.

We offer true 3-D fabrication capability to process beams, channels, HSS, angle, bar and plate on one single machine. This machine saves countless hours of material handling, since all operations on a piece are done in one place. All facets of processing are fully automatic. Our annual capacity can reach 10,000 tons annually.
