This expertise is applied to the manufacture of a wide variety of heavy and critical equipment such as presses, critical bridge components, offshore structural nodes, mooring buoys, nuclear fuel storage and handling equipment, gas and steam turbine casings, aircraft tyre dynamometers, marine drives and steering gear.
Special techniques have been developed using both conventional welding methods and the latest technologies to enhance quality and productivity.
Several overhead cranes up to a maximum of 90 Tonnes service the Fabrication Shop.
Where heavier pieces require welding the work is carried out in the machine or assembly bays.
Ancillary processes including surface treatment of fabrications and machined components are undertaken in an adjacent shop connected by rail lines.
A wide range of painting systems is in regular use according to customer requirements. Special coating systems such as metal-spraying and electroplating are contracted-in as required.
The experience of the Fabrication Team with heavy precision fabrications is formidable and unique within the Europe. The majority of the team have worked together for more than 25 years and their successes include work for the following industries:
