Abstract
In general, it may be said that the contractor responsible for steelwork fabrication obtains his raw material from three sources:
-
(i)
Rolling mills (i.e. direct from the steel makers).
-
(ii)
Stockholder. These commercial undertakings hold stocks of the more commonly used sections.
-
(iii)
Own stock. The fabricator will probably hold a stock of commonly used sections.
