Kern Steel Fabrication, Inc. (KSF) is well known in the industry as a structural steel fabricator that meets or exceeds contract requirements and client expectations consistently. This is a reflection on the diligence and attention to detail of everyone at KSF from the president of the company to the person who constantly sweeps the shop to provide a clean and safe work area. The ability to continue to perform successfully in a very competitive field for 50 years indicates a strong and competent culture has been developed for this success.
A license from the State of California and the City of Los Angeles to fabricate structural steel is necessary for success in the local market. Certification by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) for Steel Building Structures (STB) with a Sophisticated Paint Endorsement (P2, P3) distinguishes KSF from others in this market.
KSF is known in the community as a fabricator of commercial building, schools, hospitals, and other government facilities. Most clients are not aware that KSF is a leader in the field of the design and construction of aircraft ground support maintenance platforms. Platforms have been design and fabricated for everything from the Boeing 737 to the 747. Current contracts include all the maintenance platforms necessary to complete isochronal maintenance for the Lockheed C-5.
Our Sophisticated Paint Endorsement reflects not only the ability to properly apply sophisticated paints, but the sophistication of our completely enclosed and climate controlled blasting facility and paint booth. Items to be painted are moved from the blasting facility to the paint booth through an enclosed passage. Painting is not limited to items fabricated by KSF, but includes tanks, vessels, heavy equipment, and complex industrial structures found in the oil fields of California.

Bidding a project isn’t guesswork for us, it’s a science. We specify the exact service we will provide, descriptions of every component, delivery time, transportation, and erection. The result is a bid that outlines a defined product, a specific timetable, at a fixed price.
