Substation Structures & Support Steel
A-frame, bus-support, dead-end, and goalpost structures — plus the support steel that holds a substation together.
A-frame, bus-support, dead-end, and goalpost structures — plus the support steel that holds a substation together.
FabTek fabricates the structural steel that holds a substation together — A-frame, bus-support, and dead-end structures, equipment supports, and support steel, built to your drawings.
For utilities, public power, and EPC contractors, single-source fabrication means tighter tolerances and schedules you can plan around. Every structure is a domestic build under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
Strain and dead-end structures fabricated to your drawings.
Bus-support and goalpost structures for substation buswork.
Stands, brackets, and support steel for substation equipment.
Send drawings or a spec — we fabricate to print.
Substation support structures and steel form the backbone of every substation, holding transmission and distribution equipment in precise position under heavy mechanical and environmental load.
FabTek fabricates dead-end and A-frame structures, equipment supports, and heavy galvanized beam for utility-scale substation builds. EPC contractors and utilities depend on these structures to carry buswork, switches, transformers, and conductors safely for the multi-decade life of a substation.

Each build moves through our own shop end to end — no outsourced steps, including paint. That's how we hold tolerances and finish quality at volume.
Fabrication runs through our laser cutting, CNC press-brake forming, robotic plasma cutting, welding, and powder-coat finishing — see our full equipment and capabilities for the machines behind each step.
Built at four production sites in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
ISO 9001:2015 quality management, AWS-certified welding, OSHA-compliant facilities.
In-house powder-coat backed by an IEEE 2000-hour salt-spray certification.
25+ years of fabrication experience and the automation to grow with your volume.
Yes. We fabricate build-to-print and custom-spec substation structures and support steel, with AWS-certified welding.
The structural steel — A-frame, bus-support, and dead-end structures, equipment supports, and support steel — not the energized apparatus.
All structures are manufactured in the United States at our facilities in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
