Services
Steel Fabrication
Our steel fabrication services specialise in TIG and MIG welding, producing custom structural components and industrial equipment. We handle projects from single bespoke fabrications to large-scale production runs. Clients benefit from our precision engineering, use of high-grade materials, and comprehensive in-house capabilities, including press braking, guillotining, and CNC tube bending.
Water Jet Cutting
Using the Flow Dynamic IFB abrasive waterjet cutter, we achieve intricate cuts in materials up to 250mm thick, including metals, composites, and glass. Our cold-cutting process prevents material deformation, ensuring clean edges with minimal finishing. This technology supports rapid prototyping and batch production with tolerances as tight as 0.1mm.
Welding Services
We offer certified MIG, TIG, and MMA welding for aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel applications. Our welders utilise 450-amp equipment and CAD duct development software to ensure structural integrity. Services include onsite repairs, plant installation, and fabrication of conveyors, staircases, and industrial frameworks.
Sheet Metal Works
Our sheet metal capabilities include cutting, bending, and assembling aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel sheets up to 6mm thickness. We produce components for HVAC systems, enclosures, and architectural features, supported by guillotining, press braking, and automated nesting software for material efficiency.
Tipper Body Fabrication
We design and construct custom tipper bodies with alloy flooring, aluminium planking, and galvanised subframes for durability. Features include multistage rams, double-hinged tailboards, and LED lighting compliance. Our builds cater to construction, mining, and agricultural sectors requiring robust transport solutions.
