did you know?

70% of our detailers have worked for us over 10 years.
Yep. It's true.
We've been at this since before there was Internet.
That's a long time.
True turn key - our detailer, our steel, our crews, our cranes.
Your success.
Ever see a car fly? We once built a frame to support a car, then flew said frame with said car onto the roof at the Texas Rangers Stadium.
Just in a day’s work.
On average our team has steel done and ready to ship prior to the site being ready. Hmmm, how often is your fabricator waiting on you?
Or is it the other way around?
You could check on your next load of steel while, hmm well, in the “reading room”. How?
Ask us.
Most steel used in Commercial Construction is 92%+ recycled content.
Ask your concrete guy how much of their product is recycled.
Fabrication is the easy part. Managing the detailing process, proper sequencing, detailed erection planning, and a continuous effort to deliver on time or ahead of schedule is the magic.
Let us show you some.
Our problems should not be your problems.
We handle our problems, so they don’t become yours.
We did BIM before there were iPhones.
Truth.

Project Details

“SCHOOL EXPANSIONS are typically driven by overcrowding and the need for more academic space.”

“But for Bel Air High School in El Paso, Texas, a recent expansion was completed to address the school’s desperate need for additional space to accommodate its successful basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and dance programs. The problem was where to put it. The school was out of space for new facilities, having built out its entire parcel of land between four bordering roads, including a state highway.”

“The solution came in the form of a 98,000-sq.-ft, two-story replacement gymnasium on the site of the existing, smaller gym.
The intent, according to David Alvidrez of Alvidrez Architecture, was to create “a facility that celebrates sports in a visible, connected manner to the community,” with transparency as the foremost design goal.”

This above excerpt was taken from Modern Steel Construction magazine where a full write up was done to give Basden Steel the proud title of Project of the Year for 2020. 

Not only was it a successful project for the community, it was also the largest project Basden has ever undertaken and proves the level of capability that so many years of experience has taught us.
