Case 01
California bridge deck replacement.
Problem
A Caltrans bridge deck replacement needed 6,400 A325 Type 3 weathering-steel bolts with Buy America documentation on each heat lot.
Solution
We sourced from a domestic mill with melted-and-manufactured certification, organized the order into three sequenced lots by erection span, and shipped each lot with matched CMTRs.
Results
Every lot cleared Caltrans materials inspection on first submittal. The bridge deck closed out with zero fastener-related non-conformances.
“Buy America paperwork that's actually complete on the first try — that's the difference. Everyone else plays email tag.”
