We’ve Got Skills - Steel Fabrication & Machine Foundation Skills Delta Industrial & The Steel Shop showing off at FABTECH 2014

We’ll be off to Atlanta, Georgia on November 11^th through the 13^th for FABTECH 2014.  As most of you know, since 2001 we’ve had a separate, full-service steel fabrication and steel construction division called The Steel Shop. FABTECH is the perfect place to showcase the major part they play in our complete construction capabilities with more than 6 decades of combined experience with all aspects of steel building.

What is FABTECH 2014?

 

FABTECH is one of the world’s biggest industry events for metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing.  They are expecting almost 30,000 attendees and over 1400 exhibitors. 

The show will allow visitors to experience live equipment demonstrations, discover cost savings solutions and network with industry peers. The show floor will go throughout the 500,000+ Georgia World Congress Center. The event also provides learning opportunities for attendees with over 100 educational sessions and expert-led presentations on the latest industry trends and technology in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industries.

How Do You Build a Solid Machine Foundation on the Edge of a Volcano?

Employing a unique construction process, Delta Industrial took on Mother Nature...and won.

We designed and built a foundation for a Linx machining center for A & G Machine Incorporated, a supplier of sophisticated high tech parts to the aviation industry.

Located in Auburn, Washington, the plant where we were tasked to build the foundation was located in an old riverbed, near potential volcanic activity.   Undaunted, our skilled engineers designed a substructure that could withstand a natural disaster and prevent any shifting of the machinery.

Another wrinkle we had to overcome was the machinery on top of our machine foundation produces precision parts with extremely tight tolerances — as small as ten thousandths of an inch. So, the machine’s foundation needed to be 100% solid and ultra-stable to maintain the necessary integrity.

Meeting the Challenge for an Ultra-Stable Machine Foundation

To do this right our team had to strategically reinforce the base with helical pilings. Instead of pouring the concrete in multiple stages, we used an innovative monolithic pour to construct the five-foot thick reinforced concrete that made up the machine’s foundation.

Increased Construction Efficiencies = Happy Customer & Leads to More Construction Projects

By doing this we were able to enhance the construction efficiencies and increase the structural strength of the base. This project, with conveyor system, was completed in only 14 weeks.

The telltale sign that A & G Machine and Linx were happy with the results were the additional projects they then asked us to do. Linx also listed Delta as a preferred supplier of foundations for their machining centers.

About Us

We’re proud to be recognized as the Midwest’s leader in machine foundations, press pits and industrial concrete construction. We do complete construction across the U.S. from three offices - our headquarters in Chesterfield, Michigan; Trussville Alabama; and Fort Thomas Kentucky. We’re a family-owned complete construction company with our own steel fabrication shop founded in 1993, specializing in machine and press foundations, concrete flat work and steel fabrication. Our goal is an aesthetic and complete work product – On Time and On Budget.
