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.
