Software and Business Systems

In the realm of structural steel and metal fabrication, Stone Bridge has remained committed to staying on the technological leading edge. Believing that software tools radically affect productivity, Stone Bridge has invested heavily in software products with development attitudes that mimic their own. Engineering and detailing is largely provided in-house with four stations of Strucad detailing software augmented with the most current versions of AutoCad. This means detailing time is dramatically cut and response to design changes is immediate. Our engineering capabilities save your project time and money.

Information and historical data is one of Stone Bridges' greatest assets. Historical data generated over a quarter century is entrusted to the undisputed leader in the Steel-Fabrication-Software-Industry, FabTrol Systems. FabTrol software manages your project data while our engineering and detailing departments utilize a variety of modern CAD and 3-D modeling systems. From connection design software to steel detailing software, nothing is left to chance. Utilizing Strucad 3-D modeling software, wire frame models of the clients' buildings are generated and detailed. Once detailed and approved, CAM data is electronically downloaded to any of the shop floor machine tools for immediate fabrication.

Machine Tools

Machine tools are key in our ability to produce accurate weldments and shipping pieces on time and with the least possibility for error. Our inventory of equipment is constantly changing as we re-tool our metal fabrication shop with cutting-edge machine tools. Stone Bridges' shop floor contains the areas largest selection of CNC tools from drill, coping, and angle lines, to plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, shear, brake, duplicator and a host of NC or manually controlled machine tools.
