120 Feet of Feedlot Flume Installation Done Right

This was a big one. We installed 120 feet of 12-inch flumes at a local feedlot - the kind of job that doesn't leave much room for error. When a feedlot's flow system isn't working right, the whole operation feels it. Waste backs up, labor increases, and the day gets longer for everyone on-site.

Jobs like this start long before the first arc is struck. The planning phase matters just as much as the fabrication itself. Getting the layout right, coordinating lift equipment, and making sure every section lines up the way it needs to - that's where the work really begins. You can't just show up and wing 120 feet of steel.

The elevation involved here is worth noting. Our guys were working well off the ground using aerial lifts to get the flumes positioned and welded into place at height. Full safety harnesses, proper rigging, and a crew that knows how to work smart in tight industrial environments. That's not optional - it's just how we operate.

The steel work itself had to be solid. Flumes at a feedlot take a beating. Constant flow, heavy use, corrosive conditions. Fabrication that isn't built to last won't last - plain and simple. We take that seriously on every job, whether it's a small custom bracket or a full-scale agricultural installation like this one.

This is exactly the kind of work our industrial and agriculture service teams are built for. Large-scale, high-stakes, and technical. If your operation has a welding or custom steel need that requires real planning and reliable execution, this is what we do.
