Bronze Handrail Fabrication for St. Ambrose Church in St. Louis

See Our Bronze handrail at St. Ambrose Church on The Hill

Chances are, You’ve Seen Our Work. Foreman Fabricators has been making pieces of St. Louis landmarks since 1959.

St. Ambrose Church, in the heart of the Italian “Hill” neighborhood, was founded in 1903, and was built to its current state in 1926. Foreman recently helped with some bronze handrail fabrication inside this historic community church.

St. Ambrose contacted Foreman about fabricating some bronze handrails for the steps in the sanctuary because some parishioners had fallen on them. To address this safety issue, we went on-site, took measurements, and provided the Church with some samples of polished bronze so they could choose the materials. Then we designed and fabricated custom bronze railings which included steel flange inserts and bronze cover plates so no fasteners would show upon final installation. The result and was beautiful, and fully fitting for this wonderful historic landmark on The Hill.

St Louis Art Museum

St Louis Art Museum – Foreman Fabricators makes visible contributions to Museum expansion with custom metal items including reception desks, trash receptacles, coat racks, shelves and display counters.

Working as a subcontractor with Gravois Planing Mill, Foreman was responsible for a variety of custom cladding millwork with a black oxide finish and a Polane clear coat finish. Despite detailed spec requests and design challenges, Foreman created the precise look envisioned by the architect. Challenges included hot rolled steel sheet without rust, minimal radius with a v-groove in the back of every sheet bend, the need to build special crates to minimize the potential for shipping damage, and finishing each installation with a 3M epoxy glue. Overall, Foreman Fabricators and Gravois Planing Mill worked well together delivering optimal work to meet architectural specifications for the St Louis Art Museum’s expansion project.

The Security Building at 319 North 4th Street in downtown St. Louis is something you’ve probably passed by dozens of times, but unless you work or do business there, you’ve never seen how beautiful the building is.

The Security Building has some unique architectural features. The lower two floors are clad in beautiful pink granite, with pink limestone and brick features above. A steel dome sits above the lobby and art glass tops the entrance way. Foreman fabricated the custom steel framework of the dome and the steel and glass railing that sits above it.
