Madden Bolt is an AISC certified fabricator of anchor bolts, steel embeds, and structural steel. The certification means an independent auditor has checked our quality management system against a national standard, which is what satisfies the requirement you see written into power generation, petrochemical, and infrastructure specs. Behind it sits an AWS CWF program, a CWI on staff, full traceability, and MTRs.
An AISC certified fabricator is a shop whose quality management system has been independently audited by the American Institute of Steel Construction against a recognized national standard. It doesn’t grade a single part. It confirms that the people, procedures, and processes behind every part can turn out steel that meets the job, lot after lot. For an engineer or owner, that’s the difference between a shop saying its work is good and a third party signing off that it is.
We’ve held that standard for a long time. We’re an AISC certified fabricator and an AWS CWF (Certified Welding Fabricator), with a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) on staff.
On the projects we serve, nobody takes fabrication quality on faith. That’s why so many specs name an AISC certified fabricator as a requirement, frequently a mandatory one. Writing certification into the contract puts independent oversight on the job, so the engineer of record and the owner know the shop making their anchor bolts and structural steel runs an audited quality system.

Go with an AISC certified fabricator and what shows up on your truck is different. Your anchor bolts to ASTM F1554 or other requested spec, your steel embeds, and your custom and structural steel come out of an audited quality system, welded by qualified welders and inspected by a CWI on staff. Every order is fully traceable, with mill test reports (MTRs) tying the steel back to its heat and chemistry. Product that meets the certification clause in your spec, and the documentation to back it.

The full standards list is on our certifications and quality standards page, and the wider program lives on our quality and safety page.
We fabricate and galvanize in the same Houston shop, so the certification doesn’t cost you a day. One certified fabricator and one QC team carry your anchor bolts and steel from raw material through threading and in-house galvanizing: no outside hand-off, no split paperwork, no waiting on a third-party coater’s schedule. That’s how an audited quality system and lead times that beat the field end up on the same order.
Yes. We’re an AISC certified fabricator and an AWS CWF (Certified Welding Fabricator), with a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) on staff. The certification confirms that our quality management system, procedures, and people meet AISC’s requirements for structural steel fabrication.
It’s a program run by the American Institute of Steel Construction that independently audits a fabricator’s quality management system against a recognized national standard. It doesn’t certify a single part. It verifies that the shop’s people, procedures, and processes can turn out steel that meets the job’s requirements, lot after lot.
On critical work (power generation, petrochemical, and infrastructure especially) engineers and owners want fabrication quality they can verify, not just take your word on. Naming an AISC certified fabricator writes that into the contract: an independent third party has already audited the shop’s quality system. On these projects it’s a common requirement, and often a mandatory one.
It means your anchor bolts to ASTM F1554 or specified grade and your structural and custom steel come out of an audited quality system, welded by qualified welders, inspected by a CWI on staff, with full traceability and mill test reports (MTRs) behind every order. You get product that meets the certification requirement in your spec, plus the paperwork to prove it.
With the whole program behind it: an AWS CWF welding operation, a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) on staff, material traceability with MTRs, and in-house hot-dip galvanizing per ASTM A123, A153, F2329, and A767 under the same QC team.

We fabricate under our AISC certification and galvanize in-house on the same property, so a galvanized anchor bolt or embed comes from one certified shop and one QC team: fabricated, threaded, and coated per the applicable ASTM standards with no outside hand-off. Keeping all of that in-house is part of why our lead times come in ahead of the pack.
Send us your drawing. You get AISC certified anchor bolts and structural steel, the documentation to go with them, and lead times that beat the field.
