Shannon Steel came into being in October of 1964, the sole ownership of Nicolaas H. Schaafsma and was incorporated in 1968.It operated from a small workshop in the village of Caledon, fabricating miscellaneous items and bridge railings for the Department of Highways. Shannon Steel was given a “year supply contract” with this department for two years. Gradually Shannon Steel started to get involved in small buildings, specializing in service stations for a variety of Oil Companies. Approximately 10 to 15 of the first McDonald’s restaurants were fabricated and erected by Shannon Steel, when the “Golden Arches” moved into Canada.

In 1976 the operation was moved from Caledon to Orangeville into a new plant and office building. By that time the company had established itself solidly in the building industry as a fabricator and erector of structural steel and open web steel joist.In early 2004 the president, Nicolaas Schaafsma retired and his son Mark Schaafsma took over company management.

A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT WE DO

Shannon Steel has been involved in a variety of projects, ranging from schools to churches, as well as institutional buildings to factories and offices. We quote on general, open, invited and design build tenders.Shannon Steel offers an area for fabrication of 45’-0 wide by 240’-0 long and an additional 45’-0 wide by 80’-0 long paint shop. A crane runway with 4 double girder 5 ton cranes services our shop, storage and shipping area. At the opposite end of the building is the receiving and storage area for raw material, serviced by a double girder crane spanning 70’-0 with two 5 ton hoists on a runway 250’-0 long. This allows for unloading of transport into inventory and loading of conveyors for saw and ironworker.

Our fabricating process starts by bringing all of our beam and tubular sections in, cut to size, or through our in house band saw with a cutting capacity of 27” wide X 18” high. At the opposite side of the shop stands a 100 Ton Hydraulic Ironworker taking care of angle iron, flat bar, plate and bar stock, completing this by punching holes where required. All of our Fitter-Welders and Welders are certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau. Approximately 20 welding machines for either electrode, flux core or hardwire (MIG) are available as required. After fabrication and welding the material is moved to the paint bay to be cleaned by power tool, prime painted and then stored in the yard until shipping is required.In a market where it can be challenging to locate a supplier that offers integrity, dedication, reasonable prices and quality products, Shannon Steel is confident to offer these commitments to your project.
