Plants

 

With six facilities located throughout the United State, Cives Steel Company is one of the largest Structural Steel and Ductwork Specialty Contractors in North America. An annual output exceeding 100,000 tons assures you that Cives has the capability to supply the fabricated steel for your project on time, no matter how large or complex the project. Unlike fabricators with one or two large facilities, our medium-size facilities are strategically located to provide regional service with a personal touch to our customer's projects. However, when the size or schedule of a project demands it, two or more plants can team up to satisfy the needs of most any project requirement.

Every Cives facility is equipped with the most modern, computer-controlled equipment, keeping us efficient and cost effective. Data required for shop fabrication is downloaded directly from our Detailing System to our shop equipment, allowing us to ship more error-free steel than ever before. Our QA/QC requirements and procedures provide further assurance that Cives' quality is the BEST in the industry. We continue to invest in new plants and plant equipment that keeps us "younger" and in the forefront of the industry.

Proper surface preparation and coating application is critical, and each facility is equipped with modern blast cleaning machines and enclosed atmospherically-controlled painting areas. Decades of experience in the application of multi-coat paint systems further assure a quality coatings system and your project delivered on time.

 

All of Cives facilities meet or exceed the standards established by AISC Quality Certification Program for Complex Building Structures, and all carry the Sophisticated Paint Endorsement.

Unless the size or schedule of a project requires a multi-plant effort, each Cives fabricating facility operates autonomously with the necessary staff and organization to handle all aspects of a project. This not only provides the flexibility necessary for each facility to serve the individual needs of it's customers, but also ensures the highest level of motivation among personnel. From experienced Shop Personnel to Drafting to Project Management, each Cives facility has a singular focus - deliver the steel ON TIME.

When a request for proposal arrives at a facility, it immediately goes to the Estimating Department for review. Our experienced estimators undertake a completed take-off of every piece of steel and provide a comprehensive proposal and offer value engineering, if appropriate. Once a project is awarded, a Project Manager is assigned responsibility for the project. A Cives Project Manager is responsible for all aspects of the project and for ease of communication as the single source of information for the Customer. Our Project Managers and Project Management System are the BEST in the industry. Ask anyone in the industry - from our Customers to our subcontractors. They'll all agree. Cives' Project Managers are what differentiate us from our competition.

Detailing is done at one of our two In-House Detailing Companies. However, to facilitate and expedite drawing changes, each fabricating facility has it's own Drafting Department. All utilize the same detailing system (SDS2), which ensures a quality and consistent product to our Customers. Cives has over 80 Detailers and over 70 Engineering Personnel at our Detailing Companies and fabricating facilities.
