Chris Powell's Company Details
Washington Iron Works, Inc.Artisans in all MetalsOne hundred years have brought tremendous change to the state of California, especially with infrastructure, buildings, and facilities. In that time, Washington Iron Works has evolved from a small fabricator and installer of fire escapes and ornamental gates to the premier provider of miscellaneous and architectural metals for the building trades in this region. The name evolved from the original shop location on Washington Boulevard close to downtown Los Angeles. Time and growth required two moves from the original location, and the shop facility is now located on six and a half acres in the City of Carson. The all Union workforce (Shop & Field) has also grown from a small operation of twelve people to a medium size corporation of two hundred fifty. The key to success as a construction "job shop" is the knowledge and experience of the people working in the office, shop, and field. The majority of Washington Iron's people are long-term employees, with an average tenure of over twenty years.Signature projects completed by Washington Iron include: the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the San Francisco New Main Library, the Getty Villa in Malibu, the Getty Villa Renovation, the Staples Center, LA Live!, the Kodak Theater at Hollywood & Highland, the San Diego Convention Center Phases I & II, the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, the Escondido Performing Arts Center, American Airlines Terminal 4 Expansion at LAX, and the Oakland - Alameda County Coliseum Expansion.
