SteelCon, Inc was established in 2000 as a family-owned business. At the time of publication, its offerings included galvanized steel structures, grating, tubular steel static masts, and PCO Poles fabricated for substation projects. The company had grown from 5 to 50 employees and operated a 22,000-square-foot facility in Brighton, Colorado, and a 15,000-square-foot facility in Texas. Its fabrication process included production equipment and 3D modeling software. The original article also directed readers to SteelCon's past projects, client testimonials, and industry updates. This history documents the company's growth and its fabrication of substation steel packages from approved project drawings.
