Our maximum overhead-crane lifting capacity is 50t, located at our quay-side workshop in Liverpool, supported by our secondary coating facilities at the quayside, enabling us to load-out larger items directly onto the Mersey.
We maintain plate rolling facilities (cans 4.2m diameter, 3m long and upto 40mm thick), together with SAW Growing-lines capable to producing tubular sections upto 60t . Our Coating facility supports this production area enabling coating of items upto 30m in length.
We are able to offer Structural and Detailed design works, including 3D modelling.
We are able to carry out secondary-process activities associated with steel structures, such as cabling, RF equipment and testing, minor electrical works, fall-arrest systems, etc . . . This activity is prevalent in our structure supply for the mobile telecoms industry.
We maintain Site-Based installation and erection teams to support our activities.

Recent Work
MHI-Vestas OffShore Blade Logistics
Over recent years we have provided a number of Factory Production Jigs and OffShore Logistics items to support MVOW deployment to various OffShore Wind-Farms and Production Facilities both within the UK and EU.
We have completed Blade-Production jigs, Blade-Stacker frames, transportation cradles, Lifting-Frames and similar logistic items for the OffShore Wind sector.
Mobile Telecommunication Structures
We maintain a number of product ranges for the UK Mobile-Telecommunication sector covering a wide-range of technologies and applications including the latest 5G capabilities. Ground-based and Rooftop options.
Our scope includes product development and design in addition to completion of the steel structure, installation and testing of the RF and Power equipment enabling the structures to be deployed directly to site with a compliant handover test-pack.
OnShore Oil & Gas
At the Essar Oil Refinery in Cheshire, we were responsible for the detailed design, manufacture and erection of the Reactor Head support steelwork, totalling 400t, to meet the strict turn-around programme requirements
Rolled Product
Primarily aimed at the provision of OnShore Wind towers, but suitable for similar activities, our plate rolling, growing-lines and coating facilities can provide upto 4.3m diameter and 40mm thick rolled plate, 30m long, and upto 60t.
THFC Stadium Lighting Trusses
Our scope was to manufacture and coat 6nr 75m long sectionalised lighting-trusses for the new THFC stadium, fabricated to tight tolerances to facilitate the hydraulic application, travel and below-ground storage. In addition our Assembly-Yard was utilised to provide trial assembly and lighting test set-up.
Lattice Towers
We offer a number of lattice tower ranges, extending from light-weight / low profile options to larger multiuser solution available upto in 5m increments upto 35m.
Our scope includes design, manufacture and installation (including hand-build), and issue of safe-to-climb.
