Structural Bolting Assemblies
We manufacture BS EN 14399 and BS EN 15048 compliant high-strength structural bolting assemblies for preloading. Our products include hexagon and countersunk bolts from M12 to M36, available in grades 8.8 and 10.9. These assemblies are CE and UKCA marked, ensuring compliance with international standards for critical infrastructure projects.
Direct Tension Indicators
Our BS EN 14399-9 certified direct tension indicators ensure accurate bolt assembly tightness without complex torque calculations. These washers are used in preloaded structural applications, providing reliable load distribution for bridges, steel frameworks, and industrial machinery installations.
In-House Testing
We conduct comprehensive in-house testing including tensile, wedge, proof load, and hardness tests. Our facilities perform dimensional checks with calibrated gauges and plating verification to guarantee product conformity before dispatch to clients worldwide.
Custom Fasteners
We produce made-to-order fasteners according to customer specifications, including T-head bolts for waterworks and railway fixings. Our capabilities extend to special products like U-bolts, shear studs, and expamet bolts for niche engineering applications.
Global Logistics
Through international partnerships, we maintain large UK stockpiles and enable direct factory container shipments. This network supports rapid delivery of high-volume orders while maintaining full product traceability from manufacturing to client receipt.
