Flame, Laser & Plasma Cutting of plates up to 150mm thickness
Precision drilling, milling and boring
Plate Shearing machines (up to 6 metre width and 10mm thickness)
Automated edge bevelling for weld preparations

Welding

Welds are one of the most important features of a steel structure and expert skill, knowledge and experience goes a long way in ensuring structural integrity:

Welding of various materials and special steel grades
AWS qualified weld inspectors
International Standards & Welding Codes: AWS, ASME, API, AS/NZS, CSA, BS, ISO, CEN
Manual, Semi-auto, automated welding
All welding technologies: SAW, MIG/MAG, TIG, FCAW, SMAW, GTAW, MCAW, GMAW
Access to hundreds of qualified and skilled welders
State of the art non destructive testing (NDT) and destructive testing
