Our Credentials
Certifications & Memberships
SA Fabrication holds the industry certifications and memberships required for the most demanding structural steel work. Our credentials reflect a commitment to code-compliant fabrication, certified welding procedures, and the rigorous quality standards required for bridge and fracture-critical projects.
AISC Certified Fabricator — Intermediate Bridge with Fracture Critical Endorsement
American Institute of Steel Construction
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Certification Program is the standard by which the structural steel industry measures its fabricators. SA Fabrication holds AISC Intermediate Bridge certification with the Fracture Critical endorsement — the level of certification required to fabricate bridge members whose failure would cause a portion of a bridge to collapse. This certification represents an independently audited commitment to quality management, welding procedure qualification, and personnel competency standards that meet or exceed the requirements of state DOTs and federal highway projects.
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Certified
State Certification
SA Fabrication is a certified Small Business Enterprise, a designation that recognizes our status as an independently owned and operated small business. SBE certification allows public agencies, general contractors, and prime bidders to meet small business participation goals on publicly funded projects by partnering with SAF for bridge and structural steel fabrication work.
American Welding Society
American Welding Society Full Member
As a full Member of the American Welding Society, SA Fabrication maintains access to the latest welding codes, procedure qualifications, and industry research. Our welders work to AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding) and AWS D1.5 (Bridge Welding) standards, with welding procedures and welder qualifications documented and maintained in accordance with AWS requirements. Our membership reflects an ongoing commitment to the continuous improvement of welding quality across every project we fabricate.
Mid-Atlantic Steel Fabricators Association
MASteelFab Member
SA Fabrication is a proud member of the Mid-Atlantic Steel Fabricators Association, a regional trade association representing structural and miscellaneous steel fabricators throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Membership in MASteelFab connects our shop with regional peers, industry best practices, code and specification updates, and the broader network of owners, engineers, and contractors who drive steel construction across the NJ/DE/PA/MD corridor.
Why Certifications Matter
Certification isn't a marketing badge — it's a requirement for the work that matters most. Bridge owners, state DOTs, and general contractors don't just prefer certified fabricators; they require them. When SA Fabrication appears on your project, you're getting a shop whose procedures, personnel, and quality systems have been independently audited and verified to meet the demanding standards of the infrastructure industry.
