Southeastern Construction adds new handrail fabrication technology

Southeastern Construction, a structural steel fabricator, industrial site erector, and theme park construction company, is adding new handrail fabrication technology to its facility in Mulberry, Fla. Available in winter 2021, the handrail fabrication station comprises a 2400 series tube plasma cutter and a laser layout projection system, both from EMI.

The pipe plasma cutter can cut any combination of shapes to expand processing capabilities and increase fabrication. It processes round, square, rectangle for angle iron, C-channel, and flat stock. After the necessary pieces are cut, the laser layout system projects a template onto the welding table, which guides the company’s fitters and welders through the part fabrication process.

The company reports that the new technology will improve the precision of its fabrication by reducing manual measuring, eliminating layout time, minimizing warping, producing weld-ready miters and copes, and eliminating fitting problems.
