Services
Heavy Fabrications
Our heavy fabrication services produce robust steel structures tailored to industrial requirements. Utilising advanced welding techniques and BS EN 288 compliant processes, we create load-bearing frameworks for factories and infrastructure. Clients benefit from precision-engineered components meeting PED 97/23/EC pressure equipment directives.
Sheet Metal Manufacturing
Precision sheet metal production combines laser cutting with CNC folding for complex geometries. We manufacture enclosures, panels, and bespoke assemblies from aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel. Components undergo rigorous quality checks to meet EN13445 pressure vessel standards for critical applications.
Process Automation
Custom automation solutions optimise production workflows through bespoke machinery design. Our engineers develop material handling systems and robotic integrations that improve efficiency in food processing and pharmaceutical environments. Systems comply with BS EN 1090 execution class 2 requirements for structural integrity.
Surface Finishes
We provide painting, powder coating, and plating services to enhance component durability. Bespoke surface treatments protect against corrosion in harsh industrial environments. Finishes meet industry specifications for both functional performance and aesthetic requirements across sectors.
Site Installation
Nationwide installation teams implement engineered systems at client facilities. From mezzanine platforms to process equipment, our specialists ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Projects include full testing and commissioning to verify operational readiness before handover.
