Design-Build Fabrication is a service model combining engineering coordination and fabrication under one team. The Grate Guys fabricates design-build fabrication for Chatham around the actual load, use, and environment of each site.
In Chatham, design-build fabrication is typically needed for custom industrial, commercial, and infrastructure builds. Across Chatham, it solves streamlined design-to-fabrication delivery with single-team accountability, and because no two sites are identical the scope is set per site, not a default.
Chatham's need for design-build fabrication (Municipality of Chatham-Kent) is driven largely by automotive components (Dana, Continental Powertrain), agriculture and seed biotech (Corteva/Pioneer), ethanol and grain processing (GreenField/Commercial Alcohols), agricultural equipment manufacturing, food processing, natural gas utility (Enbridge Gas). Most of it sits around Bloomfield Road industrial area, Richmond Street / Keil Drive corridor, Chatham Airport Industrial Park, Tilbury industrial zone. The area's anchors, including Dana Canada, Continental Powertrain Canada, Corteva Agriscience, GreenField Specialty Alcohols, Enbridge Gas, Lambton Conveyor, Rodger Industries, shape the kind of work Chatham needs: load-rated, code-documented, and built for hard use.
The mix in Chatham — automotive components (Dana, Continental Powertrain), agriculture and seed biotech (Corteva/Pioneer), ethanol and grain processing (GreenField/Commercial Alcohols), agricultural equipment manufacturing, food processing, natural gas utility (Enbridge Gas) — means each design-build fabrication order starts from the specific structure, not a template, when The Grate Guys scopes it.
Chatham pairs an automotive base around Dana and Continental with one of Canada's largest ethanol plants and the Corteva seed-biotech headquarters. The grain, conveyor and agricultural-equipment economy here demands galvanized grating, heavy silo and elevator framing, and corrosion-resistant structural steel built for dusty, wet processing settings. The Grate Guys factors that into every Chatham order — the assessment, the equipment, and the restoration plan all start from how Chatham buildings actually fail.
In Chatham, the work has to account for corrosion-resistant steel for grain and ethanol handling, heavy structural framing for elevators and silos, ag-equipment weldments and conveyor structures, galvanized grating for wet processing environments. Each Chatham order has the gauge, material, and finish chosen for that environment, matched to the site instead of a one-size approach.
Expect about 5-10 business days on a Chatham design-build fabrication order: The Grate Guys quotes fast, fabricates to the measured spec, and delivers and installs it on site.
For Chatham: we measure, detail, fabricate to the load and finish spec, and confirm the install — a controlled process from drawing to delivery.
