The Structural Advantage of Mild Steel
While cast iron has historically been the standard for drainage infrastructure, fabricated mild steel is rapidly taking over. Why? Mild steel offers superior tensile strength and flexibility under extreme load stresses.
Heavy Duty Highway Load Rating
Our steel catch basins are engineered to withstand extreme wheel loads. Because fabricated steel can be precision-welded, we can custom-build sizes that traditional cast iron foundries simply cannot mass-produce.
Whether you need an oversized curb inlet or a multi-grate system, fabricated mild steel is the modern solution for resilient roadways.
