S&R Sheet Metal provides data center fabrication and custom metal manufacturing for contractors, developers, engineering teams, project managers, and infrastructure teams throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Our experienced union tradesmen combine precision equipment with hands-on fabrication expertise to produce difficult, made-to-spec components and repeat production runs. From laser cutting and complex forming to welding, finishing coordination, assembly, and delivery, we can support your project from fabrication through completion.
We work from your specifications to produce components designed for the application. Our capabilities include laser and plasma cutting, bending and forming, punching, shearing, welding, grinding, assembly, and plate rolling. Working from your drawing and requirements, we will to determine the best way to fabricate the finished part.
For complete customization, we work with a variety of materials and thicknesses:
This made-to-spec approach is ideal for large infrastructure projects where a component may need to be produced once for a specific application or reproduced hundreds or thousands of times as construction progresses.
Whether your team needs a custom steel bracket, laser-cut plate, formed component, equipment guard, enclosure, or another project-specific part, we can help turn the specification into a repeatable fabrication process.
Some data center and infrastructure components require more than basic cutting and bending. Complex steel plates may require precise hole placement, multiple forming operations, specialized tooling, and consistent results from one part to the next.
We have experience fabricating complex components from thick steel plate, including parts that require laser cutting, precise hole placement, complex forming, and custom tooling. When a standard forming process is not enough for the application, our team can evaluate the part requirements and develop an in-house tooling approach to produce the required shape consistently. Components can also be finished to specifications, including blasting, priming, powder coating, and other finishing requirements.
This type of project demonstrates an important part of our approach: when a component presents a fabrication challenge, we look for a way to manufacture it consistently rather than limiting the solution to standard shop processes.
When your large data center and infrastructure projects require significant quantities of the same custom component, your fabrication partner needs to ensure the process is repeatable beyond the prototype or first article. We are equipped to handle repeat production for project-based custom components. Projects have included repeat orders in batches of 500 to 1,000 pieces, making process consistency an important part of the fabrication strategy.
Our team can work with your project requirements to establish a practical production process and then reproduce the component consistently across multiple orders. This can be particularly useful when a project is constructed in phases or when the same component is required across multiple areas of a facility.
For contractors and project managers, repeatable production can also simplify procurement. Instead of sourcing individual fabrication jobs as the project progresses, we can support ongoing component requirements for your project.
A component can meet an engineering specification and still present challenges during fabrication. Material usage, forming requirements, tooling, production quantities, finishing, and lead time can all affect the final cost and schedule. Before a project begins, our team will discuss cost, lead time, and manufacturability concerns and look for ways to produce the required component while keeping the project requirements in mind.
We may evaluate how a part is cut and formed, evaluate production quantities, determine whether custom tooling is appropriate, or identify a fabrication approach that makes repeat production more efficient. Rather than simply accepting a difficult part as-is or turning down work that falls outside a standard process, we work with our customers to find a workable fabrication solution.
Data centers rely on hundreds of components that support equipment, systems, structures, access, protection, and facility operations. Many of these parts need to be customized to fit the project’s design.
We can fabricate a variety of custom components for data center and large infrastructure applications, including:
The exact component, material, thickness, dimensions, and fabrication process will depend on the project requirements. We will work from customer specifications to determine how the part can be fabricated to meet those requirements.
Data center development is one example of the large-scale infrastructure work that requires custom, repeatable metal components. Contractors, developers, engineers, and project teams may need a fabrication partner capable of taking on parts that require specialized forming, tooling, tight dimensional requirements, or substantial repeat quantities.
S&R Sheet Metal brings more than 50 years of fabrication experience, an 18,000-square-foot shop, skilled union tradesmen, and a broad range of fabrication capabilities to these projects. Our existing work spans industrial, manufacturing, contracting, government, military, material handling, and other demanding applications.
Based in Kelso, Washington, S&R Sheet Metal is positioned to support projects throughout the Pacific Northwest and surrounding regions. Our regional work extends into the Inland Northwest and Mountain West, including projects requiring fabricated components to be shipped to locations such as Idaho.
For data center developers, contractors, and infrastructure teams managing projects across the region, S&R provides a local fabrication resource with the capabilities to support custom components beyond the immediate job site.
Have a custom component that needs to be fabricated for a data center or infrastructure project? S&R Sheet Metal can help evaluate the specifications, fabrication requirements, production quantities, finishing needs, and delivery requirements.
Whether you need a difficult one-time component or repeat production in batches of hundreds or thousands, our team is ready to discuss your project.
