See that double-riveted item on the right? It's called a "beam" and I
need to have it in a non-standard length (58" to be precise).

Now, I see two options available, as follows:
A. Have mfg. custom-cut/weld these beams (possibly very expensive)
B. Purchase standardized beams (eg. 60") and have them welded
__locally__

My question has to do with B., above.

What kind of facility am I looking for to do such work? Is this called
"forging"? welding? Am I looking for a "foundry"? or is this type of
work referred to as something else?
