How to Avoid Common Problems in Steel Fabrication? How to Avoid Common Problems in Steel Fabrication? Steel fabrication is a technique-sensitive industry, and problems within steel fabrication can be expensive, time-consuming and sometimes almost impossible to fix, therefore being very meticulous and cautious during its fabrication, and certain steps should be followed to avoid any issues with the delivered product. as this would dictate specific steps to be followed during the fabrication process. Precision workmanship is also mandatory, as the ultimate goal of any metal fabrication job should be to get it right the first time, therefore proper planning and design are essential to decrease the likelihood of any problems arising. Let’s look at some of the common problems that occur during steel fabrication: 1. External damage Including scratches and gouges on the surface of the steel, which is a big concern as this would definitely lead to future corrosion or tarnish. This is also a problem if aesthetics of the final product is of concern. Other surface contaminants include embedded iron and loose iron particles, residual adhesives from protective plastics, oil, grease, paint, grinding dust, weld spatter and others. It’s therefore important to pay special attention to the design & welding of the product, as well as final packaging prior to delivery. At Ogis, this is avoided through our team of designers, engineers, fabrication supervisors and welders.
2. Communication problems Like any other project, it’s always a team effort. As discussed in our previous article about bridging the gap between different stakeholders, as every person in every department involved in the production process should be communicating and interacting with one another to ensure all controls are in place, having one aim, to deliver an exceptionally high-quality product that meets the client’s requirements & expectations.
3. Suboptimal machinery
