Capabilities

Production

Heavy fabrications from structural girders through crane structures, hydro, nuclear and industrial plant to offshore and specialist fabrications in high quality and stainless steels to FV grades. Production capacity circa 10,000 tonnes pa. Bridgeworks comprising Warren, Vierendeel, and Bowstring truss, beam and plate girders are designed and detailed in house. Fabricated lengths of up to 50m can be accommodated within the workshops.

Craneage

9 No EOT & 4 No semi goliath cranes rated at 30, 25, 15, 10 & 3 tonnes. Forklift and side loaders increase the versatility for handling outside the factory buildings. The above arrangements give us 65 tonnes heavy lift capacity within the fabrication shop.

Profiling

2 No CNC controlled oxy-propane profile burners each with 5 to 10 self setting heads with a maximum thickness capacity of 200mm and a bed length of 25m. Also facilities for plasma cutting. Supported by an Alpha Cam nesting program, Win steel/win-nest software with DSTV import facility.

Plate Girder Assembly Line

Hydraulic Bed for plate girder assembly complete with submerged arc welding beds.

Cambering/Straightening Press

250 tonne hydraulic ram-maximum beam width 1000mm.

Bending

2 No brake presses of 150 and 300 tonne capacity.

Maximum plate size 3m x 20mm.

Inspection

Managed in-house Q/A department with team of welding and fabrication inspectors along with theodolite/total station + latest 3D modelling and surveying equipment for setting out and inspection gives our clients every confidence with fit-up on site. Facility also accommodates NDT of welds, painting inspection, site erection and surveys.

Shot blast

Automatic plant achieving SA2.5 finish.

Storage

2000 m² exposed area

200 tonnes plate stockyard

Stockyard served by 15 tonne semi goliath crane.

CAD/TEKLA STRUCTURES

We have the ability to read CAD drawings which in-turn process DSTV data files for all our CNC operated machinery. We also have in-house state of the art TEKLA STRUCTURES drawing facility which in-turn produces 3D modelling fabrication and surveying information.
