[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]With the recent downturn in energy prices (mainly Petroleum, but also Natural Gas), we are often asked if Steel Nation is experiencing any downturns in business capacity. Our quick answer is: so far, so good!

Caskey, president of Steel Nation Steel Buildings, a Washington County company that constructs gas compression stations for energy companies, is no stranger to having doors slammed in his face. In fact, when he pitched the idea to build such stations to energy companies six years ago, that’s all that happened. “We tried to talk to every big midstream company, trying to get our foot in the door,” Mr. Caskey said. “We’d knock on their door, they’d meet with us and they’d say, listen, ‘You’ve never built a gas compression building before.
