Tank Platform Knee Braces

At Steel Valley Fabricators, we are equipped to handle a wide range of fabrication requirements for customers like refineries, chemical plants, power plants, and more.

A knee brace is created by connecting a diagonal support from a vertical surface to a horizontal beam.

While knee bracing is optional to support a platform or davit arm, avoiding use of braces will require cantilevered beams to be substantially larger. Knee braces allow the supported area to use more economical structural shapes by distributing the weight of the horizontal beam to a wall or column.

At Steel Valley Fabricators, we are equipped to handle a wide range of fabrication requirements for customers like refineries, chemical plants, power plants, and more. As full-service metal fabrication shop, we are willing to weld anything. No job is too big or too small. We are located near Pittsburgh, PA and ship nationwide.
