Why specify an AISC Certified company?

  • You get a company who is committed enough to quality to subject themselves to an outside review.
  • You get a company that has been reviewed by an evaluator who has been in literally hundreds of structural steel fabrication plants.
  • And you get a company that is familiar with quality systems and has dedicated the resources to provide quality work.
For more than 75 years, AISC has set the standard by which the steel industry is measured. An AISC Certified company has been placed through a rigorous examination to confirm that it has the personnel, organization, experience, procedures, knowledge, equipment, capability and commitment to produce work of the required quality.

Your success is contingent on the design, but also on the execution of the design. Make sure you have qualified professionals on your team.

Kinsley Manufacturing is certified by AISC for the following designations:
FABRICATOR
Standard for Steel Building Structures (STD) The Certification Standard for Steel Building Structures applies uniformly to all building fabricators, regardless of size and complexity of project. AISC believes there is a basic level of quality that all fabricators need to maintain regardless of company size or shop capacity. The Building Standard places equal emphasis on all aspects of the fabricator’s business processes.

Simple Steel Bridge Structures (SBR) This category is appropriate for unspliced rolled beam bridges. Simple Bridges can be short, single span highway overpasses. They are also pedestrian bridges, connections between buildings, or bridges on private property. These projects may interface with contracts for state transportation departments.

Major Steel Bridge (CBR) This certification is typically specified for bridges that have welded and bolted splices in multi-span projects. The projects include both rolled beams and built-up girders. Facilities should be capable of executing a typical three girder lay down and full assembly. The majority of these projects comply directly with state transportation departments' provisions. Companies certified for Major Steel Bridges (CBR) are also automatically certified for Simple Steel Bridges (SBR).

Companies in both bridge categories have a quality management system that supports fabrication practices necessary to meet the contract requirements for bridges - including a welding quality assurance system in accordance with AASHTO/AWS D1.5 - Bridge Welding Code.

Sophisticated Paint Endorsement
The Sophisticated Paint Endorsement is a quality certification program designed to evaluate the qualifications of structural steel fabricators and manufacturers of bridge and highway metal components who apply sophisticated or industrial protective coatings, such as zincs, epoxies, urethanes, or multi-coat systems in their paint shops following fabrication. The Sophisticated Paint Endorsement meets quality program criteria requirements of SSPC-QP 3, "Standard Procedure for Evaluating the Qualifications of Shop Application Firms." Also, the Sophisticated Paint Endorsement is based on industry standards and manufacturers' storage, surface preparation, application and curing requirements. There are currently three Paint Endorsements available:
  • P1-Sophisticated Paint Endorsement-Enclosed
Fracture Critical Endorsement Simple or major bridge fabricators that furnish fracture critical bridge members may qualify for the fracture critical endorsement. Fabricators must demonstrate a familiarity with procedures required to produce fracture critical members in accordance with a fracture control plan as defined by AASHTO/AWS D1.5.

ERECTOR
Advanced Certified Steel Erector (ACSE)
Erection contractors providing services necessary for erection of structures such as large public and institutional buildings, heavy manufacturing plants, bunkers, bins, major bridges, continuous girder bridges, railroad bridges, powerhouses, major industrial facilities, locks and dams, high-rise structures, arenas, and repair and rehabilitation of existing steel structures. The organization shall understand the procedures involved and have ready access to the requisite talent, resources, and experience necessary to erect complex steel structures.
