Structural Steel Fabrication
Southeastern Construction is an AISC Certified structural steel fabricator offering a diverse line of fabricated structural steel products to the industrial markets. With five independent shops on our twenty-four-acre property, Southeastern Construction offers a diverse line of fabricated structural steel products.
Who Are We?
Since the early days as a “boots on the ground” construction company, we’ve become a major player in the construction of phosphate mining and processing facilities in the area. Over the years, Southeastern has grown beyond our local roots. Our structural steel fabrication arm serves all of North America and the Caribbean, while our Industrial Construction services extend throughout the southeastern United States.
As these projects in Florida started to wind down in the late 1970’s, instead of expanding our on-site construction footprint, our management opted to utilize our twenty-four-acre property as a steel fabrication facility.
We are now recognized as a premiere structural steel fabricator operating on an ideal scale for domestic projects. Unlike very large fabricators that prioritize massive infrastructure or multinational contracts, Southeastern is sized to handle complex projects without compromising flexibility and quality. We have the equipment, engineering support, and workforce to manage large industrial projects up to ~5,000 Tons. Our team of steel fabricators and craftsman remain adaptable throughout the project process in case design changes occur or schedules need to be accelerated.
This balance allows project teams to benefit from industrial-grade structural steel fabrication capacity without being treated as a low-priority account.

Structural & Miscellaneous Steel Features
Durable
Structural steel is a highly durable and corrosion resistant metal. It is an excellent choice for construction as a lightweight building material. Buildings constructed with structural steel fabrication have a minimum life span of about 20-30 years if well maintained.
Affordable
Structural steel is cost effective and easy to install after structural steel fabrication. With increased efficiency in the installation process, a considerable amount of money and time is saved.
Environmentally Friendly
Steel is the most recycled material in the world, with domestic mills recycling more than 70 million tons of scrap each year. Currently, structural steel includes 93% recycled content. Choosing steel as an industrial construction material is an excellent environmental choice.
We utilize a variety of structural steel shapes specified by our customers.
Structural steel fabricators utilize a variety of structural steel shapes specified by the engineer during the design phase. Southeastern has been providing structural steel fabrications for over 50 years.
Steel W-Beam
A W-beam or a wide flange beam, comes in a wide variety of sizes from 4″ tall to 44″ tall. This steel beam type has a beam wedge and beam flanges. The flanges are the top and bottom members of the structure, while the web is the vertical member that holds the two flanges together. Each of the three members that create the beam are flat and straight. These beams are commonly used in industrial construction to span between columns and help support the load of the building. Many structural steel fabrication companies are familiar with this shape because of its variety of sizes it offers for the construction industry.
Steel American Standard Beam
(S-Shaped)
The American standard beam has a rolled section with two parallel flanges, all connected by a web. The designation of the S-shaped beam gives the builder information about each unit’s width and weight.
Steel I-Beam
An I-beam, also known as an H-beam or a universal beam, has two horizontal elements. The web is capable of resisting shear forces, while the horizontal flanges resist most of the beam’s bending movement. This shape is frequently used in the heavy civil industry for pilings.
Steel Channel (C-Shaped)
Structural C-channels, or C-beams, have a C-shaped cross section. We utilize C-shaped beams because they are cost effective solutions and were originally designed for bridges. These are most popular for use in marine piers and other building applications.
Steel Angle (L-Shaped)
Angle beams take an L-shape, with two legs that come together at a 90 degree angle. They come in equal or unequal leg sizes. The L-beams are best used in floor systems because of the reduced structural depth.
Steel Tee Beam
A tee beam, or T-beam, is a load bearing beam with a T-shaped cross section. It does, however, pose some disadvantages, but there are ways to make it more structurally efficient. Fabricated tee beams can withstand large loads when making the T-beam inverted and pairing it with a floor slab or bridge deck that joins the two together.
Steel Hollow Steel Section (HSS)
HSS is a metal profile that has a hollow, tubular cross section. It can be square, rectangular, circular, or elliptical.
Steel Pipe
Structural steel pipes are important for a variety of construction applications, lending strength, and stability. The pipes are hollow, cylindrical tubes that come in a variety of sizes. As a leading structural steel fabrication company, we often find steel pipes specified for structural use in high-corrosion environments.
