Services
Steel Fabrication
We design and manufacture precision-engineered steel components for infrastructure projects. Our process minimises on-site adjustments through advanced 3D modelling, ensuring first-time fit and compliance with CE marking standards. Clients benefit from reduced project timelines and long-term durability in demanding environments.
Structural Detailing
Our in-house team creates detailed digital models to resolve buildability challenges before fabrication. Using BIM Level 2 standards, we optimise structural integrity and coordination, preventing costly site modifications while maintaining alignment with client specifications and regulatory requirements.
Rail Sector Solutions
RISQS-accredited steelwork for rail networks includes bridges, platforms, and trackside structures. We deliver modular components for rapid installation, minimising disruption to operational lines. Our expertise ensures compliance with Network Rail standards and safety-critical project timelines.
Sustainable Steelwork
Low-carbon steel fabrication reduces embodied carbon in projects. We integrate recycled materials and offsite manufacturing techniques to lower environmental impact, supporting clients' net-zero goals while maintaining structural performance and longevity.
Emergency Repairs
Our reactive call-out team addresses unplanned structural failures or temporary works requirements. Rapid mobilisation ensures minimal downtime for critical infrastructure, with solutions engineered to withstand demanding conditions until permanent repairs are implemented.

Report
A terrible company to sub contract for with management that didn't understand how the tide rises and falls or the basic principles of engineering.
Update. New ownership and management has made this place a lot better to work at
Upgraded to a solid 3
