ABOUT US

ABOUT BRISTOL STEEL

Bristol Steel was founded in 1979 as a Light Rigging and Light Structural Fabricating Company, by Mr. Raymond Oliver our current Chairman. By 1981 we began pursuing larger and more complex Erection Projects and shortly after in 1982, founded Bristol Erectors. 

Throughout the years times have changed and our challenges have grown, but we have consistently chosen controlled growth plans mirroring the needs of our current customers while allowing the flexibility to accommodate opportunities in new markets.  

Since their early days, Bristol Steel, Bristol Manufacturing and Bristol Erectors have completed a myriad of complex and demanding projects – always delivering the final bolt up on schedule regardless of obstacles and weather, with the highest attention to quality, safety, value and 100% guaranteed customer satisfaction.

QUALITY CONTROL

Bristol Steel's Quality Control System Overview

At each Phase of fabrication Bristol has in place a full time Quality Control Person that reports only to each shop Manager respectively.   
  • Each manufactured piece of steel is checked at the end of every process to ensure the following.
  • Each piece is dimensionally correct
  • Each piece has appropriate finish
Each piece welds match the quantity, type and length shown on the engineered drawings, and has been stamped with the welder’s initials
All paint matches engineered prints and has been applied to the mil thickness required per the specification and paint manufacturers recommendations.    

Any deviations in the process are recorded on a Bristol NCR (Non-Conformance Report) and a piece is red-tagged and routed to repair.      

Each NCR is tracked and evaluated as to root cause by the Quality Management Team.        

Root causes are addressed and recorded on the NCRs and addressed weekly during the Project Management Review Meeting to ensure read across occurs for all projects.    

Assignment of a Champion takes place during the PM Meeting and closure of issue is tracked.         

Job Close Out Meetings Include a review of every NCR generated during the life of the project to determine if changes and or improvements to the affected processes need to take place.

SHIPPING

Bristol Steel owns a Fleet of 5 Over-the-Road Tractor Trailers and Over 15 Heavy Haul Trailers.

We have designed and fabricated Special Duty Trailers for specific extraordinary tasks – like the one shown below hauling a 124’-0” - 40 Ton Bridge Truss to site in one piece.     

These trailers have allowed each truss to be manufactured completely in our shop greatly reducing the time on site – enabling us to meet our customer’s demanding schedule without incident.

ERECTION

Bristol’s erection plans will often utilize multiple cranes and crews to meet the customer’s schedule and to reduce time on site requirements.

From the most complex Helicopter Lifts to Standard Erections, our breadth of knowledge ensures safe, professional, on-time installations.
