What We Fabricate

Built to Spec, Not to Catalog.

Every job comes off a drawing, a measurement, or a broken part we reverse engineer. Bring us a sketch on a napkin and we will tell you what it takes.

Structural

Structural Steel Fabrication

Beams, columns, frames, and assemblies fabricated to your drawings. For code-driven structural work see our steel fabrication page.

Access & Security

Custom Steel Gates and Fencing

Driveway gates, security gates, railings, and fencing built to the opening you actually have, not a stock size that nearly fits.

Equipment

Equipment Guards and Brackets

Machine guarding, mounting brackets, skid frames, and custom attachment points. Common on fleet and facility work.

Heavy Plate

Heavy Plate Fabrication

Cutting, forming, and welding heavy plate for wear surfaces, bases, and load-bearing components.

One-Off

Custom Parts and Components

Obsolete part, discontinued bracket, or something that never existed. We fabricate replacements from the failed original or from measurements.

Repair First

Repair Before Replacement

Sometimes fabricating new is the wrong answer. If the part can be saved, our welding repair service is the cheaper path.

In-Shop and On-Site

A Real Shop, Plus Two Rigs.

Most fabrication outfits are one or the other. A shop that cannot leave, or a truck with no controlled environment to work in. HRT runs both.

In the shop. Our Livermore facility handles layout, cutting, forming, fit-up, and finish work on the bench, where tolerances are easiest to hold and the weather never matters.

On your site. When the work cannot move, two fully equipped rigs come to it. Field fit-up, in-place modification, and welding on structures already standing.

Most projects use both. We fabricate the components in the shop, then install and fit them on site. One contractor, one license, one point of accountability.

Two Fully Equipped Rigs

Dual mobile units running out of Livermore, with the capacity for multi-day contracts.

Emergency calls welcome.

Who We Work With

Built for Commercial and Industrial Buyers.

HRT is a business-to-business industrial contractor. The work runs toward construction, infrastructure, maritime, and fleet:

  • General contractors needing structural components fabricated to drawings and installed on site.
  • Equipment operators and rental fleets needing custom guards, brackets, and attachment points. See heavy equipment welding.
  • Facility and plant managers with one-off fabrication, machine guarding, and modification work.
  • Property owners needing custom gates, railings, and security fencing built to a real opening.

We work under a 4-hour industrial minimum, which keeps a properly equipped crew on your job rather than a rushed drive-by.

Where We Work

Service Area.

We run two fully equipped mobile rigs out of our Livermore shop at 3555c First St, covering the Tri-Valley and greater East Bay, including Oakland. Fabrication work travels; if your site is outside this list, call and ask.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked.

Both. Custom fabrication from drawings, sketches, or a failed original part is core work for us, and we run a full shop in Livermore for it. Repair is a separate service and often the cheaper answer if the part can be saved.

Both, and most jobs use both. Components get fabricated on the bench at our Livermore shop where tolerances are easiest to hold, then our mobile rigs handle fit-up and installation at your site.
