New Orleans Iron Works

New Orleans Iron Works began its operation in 1998 as an erector of structural steel.  In 2000, New Orleans Iron Works built a state of the art fabrication facility in Belle Chasse, Louisiana.  New Orleans Iron Works has established a reputation for delivering both large and small projects with dependability to clients in the South East. We have grown by successfully completing a wide range of projects for commercial, institutional and industrial clients.  Our mission at New Orleans Iron Works is to make every customer’s experience a good one.  We are confident you will want us to be your partner on your next project.

Our Services

• New Orleans Iron Works’ installation crews are highly experienced and work in conjunction with our fabrication facility to provide a quality finished product. Our installation crews are capable of meeting all installation requirements and can handle any size or type of project.  New Orleans Iron Works installs steel that is fabricated at our facility ensuring a quality installation meeting our customer’s schedule requirements.  Our crews are trained in all applicable OSHA codes and are qualified in rigging, signaling, and crane operation. 
• New Orleans Iron Works uses the approved lifting equipment necessary to complete each project.  We have tools and equipment matched with the appropriately trained people to make each project a success. We are able to execute each project with the proper safety measures required and have the experience needed in order to support our customer's schedule and budget. 
• New Orleans Iron Works has 8,000 square foot of dedicated painting area.  Prior to painting, the steel moves on an automatic conveyor through our Wheelabrator blasting machine to achieve a “white blast” surface preparation for optimum adhesion between the steel and paint. We specialize in Coal Tar Epoxy application for steel pilings.   
• New Orleans Iron Works helps our customers drive down costs and enhance productivity through early involvement in the design of structural steel components and connection details. Our preconstruction team can assist with accurate budgeting and offer insight into costs, availability, lead times and trends in the ever-changing steel market. We specialize in constructability and connection analysis.  We can offer the best solution to your design team.  
• The detailing and engineering department at New Orleans Iron Works plays a vital role in our ability to deliver successful projects.  Our partner company, Callaway Steel Detailing, provides many of our fabrication and erection drawings.  The expertise that the Callaway Steel Detailing team brings to our projects compliments our in-house staff and increases our detailing production capacity.  Our staff has the experience and the knowledge to review your design and provide value-engineering that will enhance your project and decrease your cost.
• New Orleans Iron Works brings value to customers by the use of Building Information Modeling and 3-D technology. Modeling a project has many benefits, such as enhancing communication among the project team, illustrating design intent, and ensuring owner expectations are met.  Our steel model, when interfaced with the mechanical, electrical or other trades’ models, can detect interferences, or design errors, and address them before problems arise in the field. Finding errors early and prior to production can save money by avoiding rework and delays in the field.
