Happy Labor Day!

Today, we celebrate the hardworking people who show up, put in the work, and take pride in what they do.

At Briese Iron Works, we’re especially grateful for our incredible team - the welders, fabricators, detailers, operators, painters, drivers, office staff, and everyone in between who keeps us moving forward.

Here’s to the skill, dedication, and craftsmanship of workers everywhere. Happy Labor Day from all of us at Briese Iron Works! 💪

** Reminder: ** The BIW office and shop are CLOSED today. We will be back to regular business hours tomorrow!

In recognition of Labor Day, the Briese Iron Works office and shop will be closed Friday, September 4, and Monday, September 7, to give our hardworking team a well-deserved long weekend.

We’ll return to regular business hours on Tuesday, September 8.

We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Labor Day weekend! 🔩

Structural steel is engineered for strength. Many common structural grades reach 50–70 ksi, allowing them to support massive loads in buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. 🏗️

What’s ksi?
KSI stands for kips per square inch—a measurement of stress or strength. One kip equals 1,000 pounds, so 50–70 ksi means steel can withstand 50,000–70,000 pounds per square inch before yielding.

➡️ Engineered to perform. Built to last.

♥️ We had some extra-special visitors in the office this morning!

Our Director of Project Management, Justin O’Connor, had a few familiar faces stop by - his wife, son, and daughter, Reese, who is celebrating her 4th birthday today!🎉🎂

Happy 4th Birthday, Reese! 🥳

We hope your day is filled with lots of fun, laughter, and birthday excitement. Thanks for spending part of your special day with us at Briese - and, of course, thank you for the donuts!🍩♥️

🔧👏 Congratulations to our August Good Neighbor Award winner, Ryan R.!

Sometimes being a good neighbor means simply seeing someone who could use a hand - and stepping up to help.

When Ryan heard that a coworker’s exhaust had fallen off, he didn’t hesitate to offer his help. He even stayed 2.5 hours late to help tack up and refit a new exhaust and get them back on the road.

That kind of generosity - giving your time, skills, and a little extra effort to help someone else - is exactly what our Good Neighbor Award is all about.

Ryan, thank you for going out of your way to help a fellow coworker. We’re grateful to have people like you on the Briese team!

Please join us in congratulating Ryan on a well-deserved Good Neighbor Award! 👏🏆

🧹✨ *Congratulations to our August Good Neighbor Award winner, Dawn W.!

Dawn continually goes above and beyond to make Briese Iron Works a better place to work. She’s always looking for ways to keep our spaces clean, organized, and welcoming - and her hard work does not go unnoticed!

A great workplace is about more than the work we do. It’s also about the people who take pride in making things better for everyone around them. Dawn is a perfect example of that. 💙

Thank you, Dawn, for everything you do to take care of BIW and the people who work here. We appreciate you!

Please join us in congratulating Dawn on a well-deserved Good Neighbor Award! 👏🏆

👏 **Congratulations to our August Employee of the Month, CJ Jensen!** 👏

For more than ✨️ 20 years✨️ CJ has played an important role in shaping the quality, standards, and reputation of Briese Iron Works.

There was a time when CJ WAS the inspection department. As Briese has grown, he has helped build and develop the team we have today - training inspectors, sharing decades of knowledge, answering questions, and taking the time to help others become better at what they do.

And that may be one of the greatest parts of CJ’s impact here.

His work can be seen in the quality of the steel that leaves our shop, but his legacy can also be seen in the people he has taught, mentored, and helped grow throughout their careers.

More than two decades of knowledge.
More than two decades of dedication.
More than two decades of helping uphold the Briese standard.

CJ, thank you for everything you have contributed to Briese Iron Works since 2006 - and especially for investing your time and knowledge in the people around you.

Please join us in congratulating CJ Jensen, our August Employee of the Month! 👏🏆
