Schuff Steel

Schuff Steel strives to be at the forefront of innovation and collaboration when it comes to steel construction. 🏗️💡⚙️

We are excited to hear of the newly funded research grant by the Charles Pankow Foundation (CPF) for SpeedFrame. This multi-year research initiative will be led by Dr. Soheil Shafaei of Utah State University & supported by Josh Mouras of Magnusson Klemencic Associates.
Funded by the Charles Pankow Foundation, MKA Foundation, and American Institute of Steel Construction, the research will focus on development of a new concrete-filled composite moment frame system intended to improve structural stiffness and lateral performance on structures with large spans and tall story heights where traditional steel MF systems may not be sufficient. Key emphasis will also be finding the most efficient designs for constructability to reduce onsite field labor while leveraging offsite pre-fabrication.

Schuff is honored to be asked to help serve as an Industry Ally to this research effort along with other design and construction leaders from Severud Associates, Degenkolb Engineers, Kruth Engineering, Clark Construction Group, The Herrick Corporation, Berlin Steel, and JF Stearns.

26-2 Seismic and Wind Performance and Design of Concrete-Filled Composite Moment-Resisting Frames (SpeedFrame) This research project aims to develop “concrete-filled composite moment-resisting frames” (hereafter, referred to as a “SpeedFrame structural system”), which are meant to improve structural stiffness and lateral performance. The SpeedFrame structural system provides higher lateral stiffness ...

Last month we hosted our 22nd Annual Schuff Steel Charity Golf Classic benefiting Desert Voices! ⛳🏌️

Desert Voices Oral Learning Center is an Arizona non-profit organization that’s dedicated to teaching deaf or hard of hearing children the listening and spoken language skills they need to speak with confidence.

Schuff Steel was introduced to Desert Voices back in 2002, when an employee’s daughter enrolled in the organization. After seeing the tremendous impact that Desert Voices had in her life, Schuff got involved.

Over the years, Schuff Steel has helped to raise over $2 million to support and impact the lives of many children, ensuring they won’t have limitations because of hearing loss.

With help from sponsors, golfers, and volunteers we were able to raise a record breaking $420,220 this year! Thank you to everyone that came out to support Desert Voices, and thank you to Desert Voices for helping these children find their voice. 🎉👏

In honor of celebrating our 50th anniversary here at Schuff Steel, we will be highlighting some of our historic projects throughout the year.

To kick it off, we are excited to share our very first project, the ASU Sun Devil Stadium Upper Deck Expansion! 🏗️

In 1976, we were awarded the structural steel er****on scope for this addition which increased the capacity by over 12,000 seats. We erected around 500 tons of steel led by our founder, Dave Schuff, alongside Mardian Construction to complete this project in 1977. 🏟️

The impact from their hard work still stands today, celebrated by every Sun Devil and guest that walks into the stadium. At the first game following the expansion, the Sun Devils won 42 – 30!

Go Devils! 🔱
