Precision Welding

Our welders are highly experienced in gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW, formerly known as TIG or Heli-Arc) since we primarily fabricate products from stainless steel and alloys. All welding performed by Shaw Stainless is performed in accordance with American Welding Society (AWS) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) welding requirements.

Finishing

Shaw Stainless’ fabricators can provide a wide range of surface finishes on bollards or architectural products. We specifically fabricate to meet the customer’s desired finishes or needs and incorporated into your design requirements. We can provide a number of standard surface finishes and weld finishes; from glass bead, brush finish or electro polished finishes to meet your specific requirements. Our Engineering Department can assist in your surface finish recommendations for your specific application.

Quality Assurance

Our Quality Assurance program tracks fabrication materials, components, and fasteners. From design specifications, purchasing only from qualified vendors, and ultimately through fabrication to ensure that the correct materials are used. All welds performed at Shaw Stainless are visually inspected by our highly trained inspectors after welding. All of our welding procedures, welder qualifications, and weld inspector qualification welds are maintained by Shaw Stainless.
