A Look Inside Kinsley Construction’s Fab Shop

Jun 3, 2024

For the past 30 years, Kinsley’s Industrial Fab Shop has been fabricating a wide variety of steel products for our clients and divisions. From handrails to quarry equipment, our diverse team of designers, welders, and fabricators can truly do it all!

Located on our Princess Street Campus, the Industrial Fab Shop is a full-service steel fabrication shop. Our team of 25 full-time employees handles everything from estimating and designing to fabricating, painting, and shipping out orders. This team prides itself on its ability to take on any project, no matter how complex. Unlike automated shops, our fab shop team custom designs and fabricates steel products to meet the unique needs of each customer.

Curious about what the average day looks like in the fab shop? It starts with our office team pricing out projects and generating the shop drawings for the fabricators to work from. Once these two steps are complete, the raw materials are sourced and delivered to the shop. Once delivered, the pieces are cut and sent to the fabricators for production. After a quality control check, the weldments are then sent over to our paint bay to be painted or coated and then loaded onto trucks for delivery.

With good work comes growth and that’s exactly what’s happening in the fab shop. Since 2007, their man-hours have tripled and there’s no slowdown in sight! Shout out to this team for their commitment to taking on complex and challenging projects, and upholding Kinsley Construction’s reputation of getting it done right!

We do so much more than just columns and beams – we work on so many different projects, we create a little bit of everything.
