FabISThe story of the steel,
from bid to building.
A free animated screensaver for the screens around your shop and office. It tells the story of a steel project from the bid to the building going up.
A bid goes out
A four-storey office block, priced and sent. Every beam starts as a line on an estimate.
Drawn piece by piece
The model becomes shop drawings: every beam, column and brace gets its mark.
Steel is ordered
The mill order goes in and the first heats start to roll.
Cut to length
Long stock becomes pieces on the saw, tagged and stacked.
Pieces come together
Plates meet beams and the assembly takes its shape on the table.
Joined for good
The welders make it one piece. The inspector walks the seams.
Coated and cured
A coat of primer for the long wait between shop and sky.
Loaded and on the road
Each load built in erection order, so the crew gets what it needs first.
Standing on site
Piece by piece, the steel becomes the building.
Something worth looking at.
Bid to building
Nine short scenes follow a job from the bid through detailing, buying, cutting, fit-up, welding, paint and shipping to steel standing on site.
Made for walls
Large type and slow, calm movement that reads from across the shop floor or the office.
Always on
Runs on its own on any shop or office screen, so a blank monitor becomes something your crew and visitors can watch.
Free
