From drawing to fabricated assembly.
Structures, frames, bases, guards and machine assemblies — built to your drawings or developed from your requirement. Specifics are agreed per job during engineering review, not claimed up front.

Process
How a fabrication job runs
Seven stages, each gated by agreement before the next begins.
- 01
Requirement
Your drawings, sketches or a description of the equipment are reviewed to understand what is needed and what it must do.
- 02
Engineering Review
Manufacturability, material and process questions are resolved with you before any commitment is made.
- 03
Material / Process Planning
Materials, processes and sequence are planned against the requirement. Lead times are stated per job — no standard figures are published here.
- 04
Fabrication
Cutting, forming and welding per the agreed plan.
- 05
Machining / Assembly
Machining of interfaces and features, and mechanical or welded assembly, per the agreed scope.
- 06
Inspection
Dimensional and visual inspection against the agreed requirements. Documentation is agreed per job.
- 07
Delivery
Packing and delivery arranged per the quotation.
The kinds of work

Fabricated components
One-off and batch fabricated parts
Machine assemblies
Assembled and welded machine structures
Capabilities
Categories of work
Each category below describes a type of fabrication work. Which processes are used for a given job — and what they can handle — is planned against your requirement.
Cutting
Plate and section preparation
The right cutting process is selected per job from what the requirement demands.
Welding
Structural and repair welding
Welding processes and procedures are agreed per job; weld documentation is provided where required.
Machining
Machining of fabricated assemblies
Interfaces and features are machined so fabricated structures meet the drawing.
Bending & forming
Plate and sheet forming
Forming is planned against the part geometry and material.
Surface finishing
Coatings and treatments
Finishes are agreed per job, done in-house or through partners as appropriate.
Assembly
Mechanical and welded assemblies
Components are assembled and checked as a unit before dispatch.
Materials
Structural materials handled
Material grades and forms are selected with you against the requirement.
Quality
Fabrication quality
How fabricated work is verified. The specifics — instruments, records, certificates — are agreed per job.
