Office Facilities - Our sites are home to well established R&D facilities, a large salesoffice, in-house design team using the latest CAD technology and a dedicated planningteam who oversee everything from scheduling, rail possessions and contract reviews tothe management of framework agreements.

Test Room - We continually invest in new technology and are unusual in havingcomprehensive testing facilities onsite, where we can accurately test loading andsecurity compliance.

Laser and Plasma Cutting - High specification equipment includes plasma cuttersand Mazak super turbo laser cutters which ensure superior high speed cutting, qualityand accuracy. With this level of capability our in-house design team and skilledprogramming operatives can create any shape or design in mild or stainless steel from1mm up to 12.5mm thick.

Guillotining and Automated Punch Presses - At the heart of our operation is a fullyequipped steel fabrication unit including guillotines, presses and automated punchpresses. Our ability to cut, punch and fold steel in-house means we are in total controlof manufacturing quality.

Welding, Fabricating - Precision welding and fabrication are essential in guaranteeingproduct strength and durability. Our experienced team of welders and fabricators bringtogether component parts with skill, ensuring that each and every product which leavesour premises is of the highest quality.

Shot Blasting - An essential process which ensures pre-galvanised products are cleanand able to take DG100 and DG140 Duragalv galvanised finishes meeting BritishStandards requirements in all regions of the UK. Shot blasting is also used extensivelyfor stainless steel cleaning and various stainless steel finishes.

Galvanising - Our galvanising process reaches standards above BS-EN 1461 andBS7543 and BS-EN 845, while our ability to vary zinc thickness means our productsare suited to numerous applications across the UK. As a Group we pioneered the useof post galvanised products including the introduction of DURAGALV, a range of coatingsfor all environments in the UK. Our in-house galvanising plant is integral to this givingus consistent quality and total control and over the finished product.

We firmly believe in post galvanisation to ensure total coverage of all surfaces andedges; only then can optimal product performance and longevity be achieved. Ourproducts comply with all aspects of the ADAS (Agricultural Development and AdvisoryService) millennium map for above and in ground applications. This gives specifiers aclear picture of the level of corrosion you can expect in any given area of the UK. Thismeans we can supply steel products to your exacting requirements and is one of thereasons why we have our own hot dip galvanising facility.

Finishing - The attention to detail and care taken in both the design and manufactureof a product can be lost without good finishing. We have a highly experienced finishingdepartment who take great care to ensure that every product which leaves our factoriesis exactly what the customer ordered.

Quality Control - We demand a consistently high level of quality and put productsthrough our extensive quality control checks to ensure they meet all accreditations andstandards including LPCB (Security and Fire Approvals), ISO9001 and ISO1400 and British Standards.
