  Our current production facility covers some 13,600m2 with a further 1,700m2 extension currently under construction. Fabrication capacity is currently 450-500 tonnes per week (dependent on type of fabrication) and is due to increase to approximately 550 to 600 tonnes per week upon completion of the workshop extension.

Our working philosophy has undergone a major metamorphosis in recent years, with fabrication almost exclusively carried out on four separate speed lines. This has seen efficiencies and productivity increase significantly as steel handling has been reduced from approximately 16 times per member to only 5. To complement the new speed lines, a traditional fabrication shop has been retained to enable continued flexibility in the fabrication of large trusses, rafters etc.

Machinery currently operated includes the following :-
