Infrastructure & Municipal Manufacturing
Durable fabricated and machined components for roads, bridges, water systems and public spaces, built for decades of outdoor service.
Sector Overview
Built for the Public, Built to Last
Cities, utilities and contractors specify products that carry traffic, shed water, protect pedestrians and withstand weather, road salt and vandalism. These parts are installed once and are expected to perform for decades, so durability, safety and lifecycle cost matter more than appearance alone.
Municipal work usually comes through tenders and contractors, with project drawings, delivery windows and repeat orders for maintenance and replacement. HCI Advanced Manufacturing combines Accu-Tech, Hydra-Matic Machine & Pumps and Cyl-Tech Manufacturing, part of the Heritage Casting and Ironworks group, in business since 1978.
Tenders, Contractors & Repeat Maintenance
We quote from your drawings or specifications, support standard and custom designs, and can supply the same part again when a city or contractor needs more.

Our Approach
How We Review an Infrastructure or Municipal Project
01. Drawing & Spec Review
We review the tender drawings or specifications, materials, loads, finishes and quantities.
02. Fabrication Plan
We plan cutting, forming, welding and machining, and coordinate galvanizing or coatings.
03. Quality Check
We check dimensions, welds and fit against the drawing before parts ship.
04. Delivery & Repeat Supply
You get a clear schedule that fits the construction timeline, with reorders when needed.
