Services
Statutory & Engineering Inspections
Our statutory inspection services ensure compliance for cranes, vessels, and offshore platforms. Using our proprietary RMi Kinetic software, clients monitor assets digitally to maintain operational readiness. We conduct LOLER inspections, pressure systems exams, and confined space integrity checks across rail, marine, and industrial sectors.
Metalworking and Fabrication
Certified BSEN:1090 Execution Class 2 fabrication services include plasma cutting, welding, and structural steel manufacturing. Our workshop produces bespoke components for rail, marine, and industrial clients, with CE-marked structural steelworks meeting offshore and heavy engineering requirements.
Rail Engineering
Specialist rail asset overhaul services cover track renewal, tamper units, and crane refurbishment. Mobile workshops enable on-site repairs while certified welders ensure rapid return-to-service of critical infrastructure. We support Network Rail and other operators with emergency and planned maintenance.
Marine & Offshore Engineering
Comprehensive offshore wind farm services include turbine inspections, hydraulic crane maintenance, and confined space works. With 15+ years' experience, we provide davit crane teams, generator hire, and bespoke marine engineering solutions across Europe's renewable energy projects.
Industrial Engineering
We deliver NDT testing, machining, and emergency repairs for industrial sectors including recycling, power generation, and defence. Mobile teams with hydraulic equipment and welding capabilities support planned maintenance and urgent breakdown assistance nationwide.
