Services
Steel Fabrication
Our steel fabrication services specialise in TIG and MIG welding for aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel. We handle projects from one-off custom builds to large-scale production, including structural steelwork, balustrading, and industrial equipment. With advanced machinery like press brakes and guillotines, we ensure precision in every component, supported by finishing options like powder coating and galvanising.
Water Jet Cutting
Using the Flow Dynamic IFB abrasive waterjet cutter, we achieve 2D precision cuts up to 250mm thickness across metals, composites, and ceramics. Our cold-cutting process prevents material deformation, ideal for intricate geometries. With a 4100mm x 2100mm cutting area and CAD/DXF compatibility, we deliver rapid turnaround for one-off or bulk orders with minimal waste.
Welding Services
We offer MIG, TIG, and MMA welding up to 450 amps, alongside CNC tube bending and plasma cutting. Our certified welders handle exotic alloys and thick-section materials, supported by on-site repairs for plant machinery. Services include duct development, shot blasting, and transport, ensuring quality from prototype to installation for industrial clients.
Sheet Metal Works
Our sheet metal capabilities include cutting, bending, and assembly for aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel. We produce custom components like enclosures and panels, optimised through value engineering for cost efficiency. Advanced machinery ensures tight tolerances, while surface treatments like zinc phosphate coating enhance durability for industrial applications.
Tipper Bodies
We design and build bespoke tipper bodies for construction and mining sectors, using high-grade alloys and aluminium planking. Features include galvanised sub-frames, LED lighting, and multistage rams for durability. Our process combines CAD design with rapid production to meet operational deadlines, ensuring safe, corrosion-resistant transport solutions.
