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-volume production, including structural steelwork, balustrading, and industrial equipment. Our facilities include press braking, guillotining, and CNC tube bending to ensure precision and durability.
Water Jet Cutting
Using the Flow Dynamic IFB abrasive waterjet cutter, we achieve 2D precision cuts in materials up to 250mm thick, including metals, composites, and glass. Our 4100mm x 2100mm cutting area accommodates complex geometries with minimal waste. This cold-cutting process avoids heat distortion, ensuring clean edges and tight tolerances for industries requiring high accuracy.
Welding Services
We offer certified MIG, TIG, and MMA welding up to 450 amps, alongside plasma cutting and CNC tube bending. Our services include onsite repairs for heavy plant machinery and conveyor systems. Advanced equipment like hydraulic plate rolls and CAD duct software ensures seamless integration of welded components in industrial applications.
Sheet Metal Works
Our sheet metal fabrication covers cutting, bending, welding, and finishing for aluminium and steel. Capabilities include prototyping, value engineering for cost efficiency, and automated production. We supply precision components for construction, manufacturing, and transportation sectors, supported by shot blasting and powder coating for enhanced durability.
Tipper Bodies
Custom tipper body fabrication uses high-grade alloy floors and aluminium planking for lightweight strength. Features include galvanised sub-frames, LED lighting, and multistage rams for heavy-duty operations. Designed for construction and mining sectors, our builds prioritise safety compliance, corrosion resistance, and rapid delivery to minimise client downtime.
Questions
