What We Can Do For You
FABRICATION
Quality Craftsmanship
Chocolay Ironworks is committed to being a one stop shop for supply-fabricate-install. This reduces down time on the job due to change orders and back charges if anything needs to be modified in the field.
STRUCTURAL STEEL ERECTION
Safe, Accurate and Efficient
Utilizing only the most extensively trained Union Ironworkers for the job, we are able to ensure the highest level of safety, accuracy and efficiency. With our experience ranging from erecting small metal buildings to large football stadiums, we are a sure fit for your next steel erection project.
ADVANCED LAYOUT
Extremely Accurate
Using the most cutting edge technology on the job site, we're able to provide fast and accurate layout services. Not only does this save you time and money up front, it saves you from having to go back and perform expensive and time consuming re-work that can cost you the job. Ask us how we can help.
CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT
Sturdy Foundations
Concrete reinforcement is vital to the foundation of your building, let us help with your rebar and welded wire mesh placement. Though it may seem simple there is in fact much more to it than meets the eye, forward thinking ensures proper placement to avoid drilling anchor bolt holes through rebar which can become very costly.
MOBILE AND STATIONARY WELDING
Of the Highest Quality
When you have something you need welded, we've got you covered. Our welders are certified through the American Welding Society and perform only the highest quality of work. If you can't bring the project to us we can certainly bring our welding service to you.
HEAVY EQUIPMENT WELDING REPAIR
Exceeding Expectations
We have the tools and skills necessary to inspect your heavy equipment, trucks and trailers for cracked, broken or defective welds and then provide a solution to get it repaired properly.
