Shaw Stainless works with clients to develop bollard sleeves and covers to make these security barriers aesthetically pleasing. Shaw can manufacture bollard skins and covers in most alloys or finishes required for your application. While we do not offer installation services, we work closely with contractors to build virtually any custom bollard requested and package to protect in transit to the jobsite to make installation run as smoothly as possible.


This type of security feature is designed to protect commercial, industrial and high-security areas. Common bollard clients include military bases, airports, stadiums, store fronts, parks, banks, corporate buildings, other high pedestrian traffic areas and more specific featured projects like Staten Island, SunTrust Park and One World Trade Center.

Shaw Stainless offers chemical and electrochemical treatments of stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys. Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing or electrolytic polishing, provides a smooth and shiny finish to your product.


Stainless steel has a protective oxide layer on the surface which provides corrosion-resistance. During the manufacturing or machining process, this layer may be removed. Electropolishing restores the corrosion-resistant properties often required in many highly-corrosive environments.


Passivating stainless steel is a process that is performed on the surface of a stainless steel or alloy component. In passivation, the stainless steel spontaneously forms a surface film which makes it more passive or a chemically inactive surface and is non-reactive to air. A low corrosion rate of the metal, stainless, or alloy is the desired result of the passivation process. ASTM B912 is the standard specification for passivation of stainless steels using electropolishing. ASTM A380 / A380M-13 is the standard specification for cleaning.

Shaw Stainless offers laser cutting services for your custom-cut requirements. The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser was first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1917, but it wasn't until 1960 when the first laser beam was created. The advantages of laser cutting include very high-quality edges, speed of cutting, and tight tolerances.

Shaw Stainless has the metal forming capabilities with modern facilities and equipment and experienced machinists to facilitate your project needs.

Aside from standard stainless steel nipples, custom pipe threading service is available for schedule 40 and thicker pipe. Your job may require a specific length or thread combination, and we can meet your custom requirements. Our tooling includes dies for National Pipe Taper (NPT) as well as British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) for up to 4" nominal pipe size.


Shaw Stainless also manufactures rigid stainless steel conduit in 304 and 316 for corrosive environments.

We offer custom-cut material for your time-saving needs and for overall ease of handling. Not every jobsite is equipped to handle 20 foot lengths of material, and not every job calls for the full stick, so we offer cutting services to get you exactly what you need. While it may be more economical to purchase the full length depending on the size and type, we will cut per your specifications to facilitate handling and installation!

Shaw Stainless has stainless steel roll grooving capabilities with modern facilities and equipment and experienced machinists to facilitate your project needs.
