American Katerra Products
Structural Steel Fabrication
Finding a structural steel fabricator is rarely the hard part. Finding one that holds tolerances, documents its quality, and protects your erection schedule is. American Katerra provides structural steel fabrication services from San Antonio, Texas, as the U.S. subsidiary of Yamaguchi Heavy Industries Ltd., pairing Japanese engineering discipline with on-the-ground execution for U.S. construction and industrial projects.
Every order runs through a fully digital, BIM-driven workflow built in Tekla, with quality checkpoints documented at each stage. If you are pricing a project now, request a fabrication quote and you will receive an itemized proposal with a dated production schedule.
Green Steel
American Katerra’s Green Steel is low-carbon structural steel for projects that have to account for embodied carbon. More owners, designers, and public agencies now ask for the carbon footprint of the steel they buy, alongside its price and grade. Green Steel answers that: the structural performance you specify, fabricated through a lower-carbon supply chain, with the documentation to back it up.
Embodied Carbon Data
Embodied carbon is moving from a nice-to-have to a requirement. Building codes, owner commitments, and procurement rules like Buy Clean now ask project teams to report the embodied carbon of major materials, and steel is one of the largest. American Katerra documents the embodied carbon of the structural steel we fabricate, so your team can report it and act on it with confidence.
Robotics
A skilled-welder shortage and tighter schedules are pushing fabricators toward automation. American Katerra supplies and integrates robotic welding systems built for structural steel, then helps your team put them to work. You get consistent, code-quality welds and higher throughput, with support close to home in Texas.
