Madden Bolt is an AISC certified fabricator and AWS CWF with an on-staff Certified Welding Inspector (CWI). Every order is fully traceable, backed by mill test reports (MTRs) on request. Quality controls run from material receipt through in-house galvanizing, and a safety-first culture protects our team and your project on every job.
AISC certified quality sits behind everything we ship. As an AISC certified fabricator and an AWS CWF (Certified Welding Fabricator) with an on-staff Certified Welding Inspector (CWI), we hold the shop, the welding program, and the inspection to recognized national standards. Forget the logos for a second, what it buys you is simple: an engineer or buyer can choose Madden Bolt and get parts that are verified, traceable, and backed by paperwork.
From the moment steel arrives to the moment a finished part leaves the lot, one quality team owns the result. The program covers:
For the full list of standards and credentials, see our certifications and quality standards. Documentation is available upon request for every service.
Many specifications for anchor bolts and structural steel fabrication require an AISC certified fabricator, particularly on power generation, petrochemical, and infrastructure work where accountability is non-negotiable. Choosing a certified shop means the quality system behind your parts has been independently audited, not just asserted. Learn how that plays out for buyers on our AISC certified fabricator page.
Quality is easiest to stand behind when nobody hands the work off. Fabrication, threading, and hot-dip galvanizing all happen on the same property in our Houston shop, so one QC team carries each part from raw steel to finished, coated product. No outside galvanizer in the chain, no split documentation, no finger-pointing.
The same discipline that drives our quality program drives how we run the floor. We work to strict safety protocols, with a trained crew and equipment kept in proper shape, because protecting our people and the integrity of every job is just how a steel shop ought to operate. There’s more on the safety page.
Quality and safety are not separate from how Madden Bolt makes things, they are how we’ve made things since 1988. Explore the details through our certifications and safety pages, or learn more about the company behind the standards.
Yes. Madden Bolt is an AISC certified fabricator and an AWS CWF (Certified Welding Fabricator), with an on-staff Certified Welding Inspector (CWI). The certification confirms our quality management system, procedures, and personnel meet AISC’s requirements for structural steel fabrication.
AISC certification audits the fabricator’s overall quality management system. The AWS CWF (Certified Welding Fabricator) program certifies the welding side of that operation. A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) is an individual credentialed by AWS (Madden Bolt has one on staff) who inspects welds against the applicable code. Together they cover the shop, the welding program, and the inspection of the work.
Every order is fully traceable. We document materials with mill test reports (MTRs) that tie the steel to its heat and chemistry. From material receipt to final galvanizing, one quality team signs off on every lot.
Yes. Certification letters, mill test reports, and fabrication documentation are available upon request for our services. Tell us what your project or specification requires and we’ll provide the supporting paperwork with your order, reach us at 713.939.9999.
Safety runs the shop, not the other way around. We work to strict protocols, with a trained crew and equipment that’s kept in proper shape, to protect our people, our customers, and the integrity of every job. There’s more on our dedicated safety page.
No, it strengthens it. Because hot-dip galvanizing happens in-house on the same property as fabrication, the same QC team carries a part from raw steel through coating, with consistent zinc thickness lot to lot and no third-party hand-off. Galvanizing is performed per ASTM A123, A153, F2329, and A767.
Tell us what your specification requires and we'll quote it with the right documentation, MTRs, and certification letters.
