Our Work
Representative fabrication projects
Every job is built to a specific duty, so no two are identical. These describe the kinds of work we regularly deliver.
General Engineering
Pressure Vessel Under Fabrication
A dished-end pressure vessel shell in red oxide primer, nozzles set and welded, photographed on the shop floor before testing and final finishing.

A note on this page. The photographs are of our own work. The entries describe the categories of job we deliver rather than named client projects — we do not publish a customer’s details without their permission. If you would like references for work similar to your enquiry, ask us and we will arrange them directly.
How We Work
From enquiry to dispatch
Every job follows the same eight stages. You know where your order is at any point, and nothing moves to the next stage until the previous one checks out.
- 01
Enquiry & Requirement Study
You share the duty, capacity and site conditions. We ask the questions that matter before quoting.
- 02
Design & Drawing
General arrangement and fabrication drawings prepared and approved by you before any steel is cut.
- 03
Material Procurement
Plate, pipe and sections sourced with mill test certificates traceable to the finished job.
- 04
Cutting & Rolling
Profile cutting, shearing and plate rolling to form shells, dished ends and structural members.
- 05
Welding & Assembly
SMAW, GTAW and GMAW welding by qualified welders, with fit-up checked at every stage.
- 06
Testing & Inspection
Hydro testing, dye-penetrant testing and dimensional inspection, with third-party witness on request.
- 07
Surface Treatment
Shot blasting, priming, painting or powder coating specified for your service environment.
- 08
Dispatch & Support
Packed and dispatched by road with test certificates and drawings, plus installation support.
