01 Capability

What we put
on the tools.

From repairing critical production lines to fabricating structures that strengthen industrial operations, we focus on results that keep working.

  • 01

    Stainless steel fabrication

    Our specialisation. Hygienic stainless fabrication and installation for beverage, food and process plant, where the finish matters as much as the joint.

  • 02

    Stainless & carbon steel welding

    MIG, TIG and arc on stainless and carbon steel, carried out by coded welders, not general labour with a machine.

  • 03

    Boilermaking: tanks, hoppers & chutes

    Tanks, hoppers, chutes and ducting: marked out, rolled, fitted and installed to drawing.

  • 04

    Pipefitting & process piping

    Process pipework, pump lines and reticulation: fabricated, routed, welded and checked before it goes live.

  • 05

    Structural steel

    Platforms, walkways, supports and structural steelwork for industrial and commercial sites.

  • 06

    Plant maintenance, breakdowns & shutdowns

    Breakdown repairs, planned maintenance and shutdown work that gets a production line running again.

Planning a job? Our guides explain what a welder’s certificate proves, how to choose between 304 and 316 stainless, when a job needs TIG or MIG welding and how to prepare for a plant shutdown.

02 Process

Every joint,
in order.

A spool doesn’t come together in one go. It’s cut, fitted, tacked, rooted, filled and signed off, and each pass is done properly before the next one starts.

  1. 01

    Cut & prep

    Material marked out, cut square and edges prepared to the weld procedure.

  2. 02

    Fit-up & tack

    Alignment and root gap set, then tacked so nothing moves under heat.

  3. 03

    TIG root pass

    Full-penetration root run, purged where the spec calls for it.

  4. 04

    Fill & cap

    Filled to thickness and capped, with heat input kept in control.

  5. 05

    Inspect & sign-off

    Visual inspection, dimensional check and handover before it goes live.
