  • METAL
MANUFACTURE

    Phase 02

    METAL MANUFACTURE

    Up to 1,200 tonnes of fabricated steelwork annually, produced under factory production control. Protective coatings are applied immediately after fabrication so steelwork arrives on site to specification.

    • Shot blasting
    • Zinc phosphate primer
    • Top coating
    • Galvanising
    • Intumescent painting
  • Coded Welding

    Phase 03

    Coded Welding

    Welders coded to BS EN ISO 9606-1 across the principal weld grades, operating under our documented Welding Quality Management System (WQMS). ISOQAR accredited and approved to BS EN 1090 EXC 3 — assuring UKCA marking and audit-grade traceability.

FAQs

Structural steel
frames.

Engineered, fabricated and erected structural steel frames for industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential projects across the UK.

  • A structural steel frame is a load-bearing skeleton of universal beams, columns, bracing and connections that carries the building's loads to the foundations. Steel frames are the dominant solution for industrial portal frames, multi-storey commercial buildings and most modern extensions.
