A New Milestone in Quality and Trust
We’re proud to announce that GSM Industrial is now an AISC Certified Fabricator — a designation awarded by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). This certification confirms that GSM meets the highest national standards for quality, safety, and process control in steel fabrication.
Achieving this certification wasn’t a checkbox exercise. It required rigorous audits of our fabrication processes, quality management systems, safety protocols, and personnel qualifications — every aspect of what we do, from design to delivery.
Simply put: this certification validates what our clients have always known — GSM delivers work that stands up to scrutiny.
What the AISC Certification Means for Our Clients
1. Consistent Quality and Precision
AISC certification ensures that every piece fabricated in our shop meets strict quality assurance standards. That translates to reliable results, consistent welds, and precise assemblies — the kind of performance you can build on.
2. Safety and Compliance You Can Count On
The AISC audit process evaluates safety procedures and regulatory compliance at every level. This means that partnering with GSM minimizes project risk, meets safety expectations, and protects everyone involved.
GSM’s commitment to compliance extends beyond AISC — we also fabricate ASME code vessels, ensuring our work meets the most stringent quality and safety standards in the industry.
3. Efficiency Through Experience
Our AISC certification underscores the efficiency and skill of our fabrication team. It’s proof that GSM can handle complex industrial projects — from structural steel fabrication to tanks, platforms, and mechanical system components — all while maintaining quality and on-time delivery.
4. Confidence for Every Role on the Jobsite
- Engineers get assurance that GSM meets precise design specs.
- Purchasing Managers gain a reliable, verified partner that reduces procurement risk.
- Operations Managers benefit from a fabricator that’s built for safety, efficiency, and uptime.
- Maintenance Teams know they’re working with fabrications that last.
Why AISC Certification Matters
AISC certification isn’t just about a plaque on the wall. It’s a commitment to continuous improvement. Certified fabricators must maintain strict documentation, traceability, and inspection procedures that ensure every beam, bracket, and weld is held to the same high standard.
That level of quality control leads to fewer reworks, less downtime, and more predictable project outcomes — exactly what our clients expect from GSM Industrial.
Our AISC certification complements our long-standing expertise in ASME code fabrication, creating a unified approach to quality and compliance. Whether it’s a structural steel platform or a pressure-rated tank, every GSM project is built with precision, integrity, and accountability.
Continuing to Build with Integrity
Our certification is another step in GSM Industrial’s long-standing commitment to quality craftsmanship, safe work practices, and customer satisfaction. Whether we’re fabricating complex ductwork, structural steel platforms, or custom tanks, we approach every project with the same goal: to deliver results that exceed expectations and stand the test of time.
Frequently Asked Questions About AISC Certification
What is AISC Certification?
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) certification is a nationally recognized credential that verifies a fabricator’s ability to meet rigorous standards for quality management, safety, and consistency in steel fabrication. It’s essentially the industry’s way of confirming that a company follows best practices from start to finish.
Why does AISC certification matter when choosing a fabricator?
AISC certification ensures that your project is handled by professionals who follow documented procedures, quality inspections, and safety standards on every job. For clients, this means reduced risk, fewer errors, and greater confidence that the finished product meets design intent and regulatory requirements.
What does the AISC audit process include?
To become certified, GSM underwent a comprehensive audit that examined everything from welding procedures and material traceability to staff qualifications and project documentation. It’s not a one-time achievement either — we’ll undergo regular audits to maintain our certification and continuously improve our processes.
How does AISC certification benefit GSM Industrial’s clients?
Our clients gain peace of mind knowing their projects are backed by proven quality systems. It means faster approvals, fewer project delays, and structures that meet the highest engineering and safety standards. In short: you get less risk and more reliability.
Does AISC certification apply to all GSM Industrial projects?
Yes. Whether we’re fabricating structural steel, tanks and vessels, or custom platforms and supports, the same AISC-certified quality management process applies. Every project benefits from the same precision, traceability, and safety oversight.
Is AISC certification required by law?
Not always — but many engineers, general contractors, and facility owners require AISC certification when selecting a fabricator. Even when it’s not mandatory, it’s a strong differentiator that demonstrates quality, consistency, and accountability.
How does AISC certification relate to ASME fabrication?
While AISC certification focuses on structural steel fabrication and erection, ASME certification applies to pressure vessels, tanks, and components that must meet specific code requirements. Together, these credentials demonstrate GSM Industrial’s comprehensive capabilities — from code-compliant vessel fabrication to complex structural assemblies — all backed by audited quality control systems.
How does AISC certification align with GSM Industrial’s values?
AISC’s focus on integrity, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement mirrors the principles that have guided GSM Industrial since the beginning. Earning this certification reinforces our commitment to delivering work that’s safe, precise, and built to last.
Where can I verify GSM Industrial’s AISC certification?
You can view the official AISC Certified Fabricator listing on the AISC website.
