MADE IN AMERICA
“If you can draw it,
we will build it. In steel.”
Dakota Brewer. Dale Brue. Steel
Fabricators. “You got to appreciate
what you do, and like doing it,”
Brue says. “Otherwise, what’s the
purpose? We’re tryin’ to teach the
new guys what we do, and we do it
in steel.” They lay out beams, holes,
cuts, angles and where the plates
go on. Fabricate big box beams
with three-, four-inch flanges. A 29ton piece not uncommon. Couldn’t
even tell you how many tons
fabricated since 1976 when Dale
started at Zalk Josephs Fabricators.
He gets up early. 3 AM. Never been
late. Never.
American Institute of Steel Construction
They say compound miters are
tough, but they handle them.
Steel’s forgiving. Weld it up, fill
in little gaps. Proud of every one
of their jobs. Like Ann & Robert
H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of
Chicago. When the boss sold the
project, Zalk came up with an
innovative scheme: using cables
to support the 14th, 15th and 16th
floor. Shaved a couple of months
off the duration of the project
because of it.

Made in America.
Like the steel they fabricate.
There’s always a solution in steel.
