Superior Structural Steel: A Look at Performance Contractors' Mobile Facility

For the past decade, Performance Contractors has been a cornerstone in the industrial sector, renowned for its steadfast commitment to safety, quality, and integrity. Our steel fabrication facility in Mobile, Alabama, stands as a testament to this legacy, offering unmatched services to our clients.

Originally established 10 years ago for pipe support fabrication, our facility has adeptly transitioned to producing structural steel fabrication in response to market demands. This 14,000 sq. foot facility now boasts a production capacity exceeding 150 tons per month with the flexibility to handle larger projects as required.

As with every Performance endeavor, this transition to steel fabrication was an opportunity to increase quality in product, delivery, and customer satisfaction. Where most industrial contractors outsource this type of fabrication, Performance is able to offer cost, time, and control savings by eliminating third parties and prioritizing customer needs and satisfaction. This approach not only reduces costs and lead times but also ensures we maintain stringent control over every aspect of production, passing significant savings and superior value on to our customers.

In 2023, our facility achieved the AISC certification, underscoring our dedication to excellence. This certification is a benchmark of our capability, with the AISC certification being particularly critical as many clients mandate this high standard for all steel used in their projects. Annual inspections ensure that our quality metrics are consistently upheld, reinforcing our reputation as leaders in steel construction. 

By utilizing the Tekla Powerfab in tandem with the P2Programs Steel Tracking System, we’re able to maintain traceability and quality hold-points in real-time throughout the fabrication process.  This allows Performance to give more realistic, accurate timelines with the heightened level of information at hand. Combined with the shop’s sophisticated automation technology and CNC equipment, the Mobile fabrication facility provides clients with the highest level of quality through the entire lifecycle of steel production.

"We show our commitment to quality by focusing on the unique selling points, certifications, technological advancements, and dedicated team that set our facility apart,” says Andrew Megginson, Project Coordinator of the Performance Contractors Mobile Fabrication Facility.

Safety and quality are pillars of Performance Contractors. Our facility boasts an exemplary OSHA safety record and minimal nonconformance reports, thanks to the unwavering dedication of our team. With an average tenure of 12 years, our top-level management ensures that every team member, averaging 25 people in the shop at any time, embodies our commitment to excellence.

As we celebrate 10 successful years of operations at our Mobile, AL facility, we eagerly anticipate many more decades of delivering safe, high-quality structural steel fabrication that our clients have come to expect from Performance Contractors.
