About North-Western-Steel.com
Mining
North Western Steel supports the backbone of Nevada’s mining industry by providing custom steel fabrication, repair, and safety solutions tailored to the demands of large-scale operations. From open-pit gold and silver mines in the Carlin Trend to industrial mineral sites producing cement, silica, and magnesia, we understand the punishing environments these facilities face. Every platform, chute, and repair we deliver is engineered to meet MSHA standards, reduce downtime, and keep crews safe in high-pressure, high-impact settings.
Beyond the major gold producers, we work closely with aggregate, cement, and specialty mineral processors that require durable steel solutions to withstand constant abrasion and vibration. Whether it’s reinforcing crusher housings, building wear-resistant chutes, or fabricating large plate ducting, our goal is to extend equipment life and keep production moving. Our team combines field experience with engineered detailing, ensuring every solution is fit for purpose and aligned with the industry’s strict compliance requirements.
The mining industry in Nevada depends on responsive, reliable partners who can adapt quickly to shifting production needs. North Western Steel fills that role by being local, mobile, and solution-driven. We bring the ability to weld, fabricate, and install on-site, eliminating long waits for out-of-state fabricators. With a focus on gold, silver, aggregates, and industrial minerals, our services help mining operators protect uptime, control costs, and strengthen the infrastructure that keeps Nevada’s mines running.
