Can you provide hygienic sub-structures for the food sector?

Yes, we fabricate stainless steel frameworks featuring hermetically sealed sections and continuous, full-penetration welds to eliminate bacterial harborage points in high-care production environments.

What materials do you work with for sub-assemblies?

We manufacture sub-assemblies using a variety of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This allows us to produce durable and high-quality assemblies suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Are all of your welders qualified and coded?

Yes, all structural welding is performed by our team of coded welders. We operate to established standards for welder qualification (BS EN ISO 9606), procedure approval (BS EN ISO 15614), and quality management (BS EN ISO 3834). This ensures that every piece of steel meets the rigorous integrity standards required for sub-assembly steelwork.

Framework and Sub-Assemblies

Manufactured in line with BS EN 1090-2, engineered for integration into products, machinery and larger fabrications.

What are Framework and Sub-Assemblies?

Metal frameworks and sub-assemblies are precision-engineered steel structures designed to support, integrate, and enhance larger systems or installations. Commonly used across industrial, manufacturing, and construction environments, these components form the backbone of machinery, equipment supports, and modular builds. By providing strength, stability, and accurate alignment, metal frameworks and sub-assemblies play a key role in ensuring efficient assembly, reliable performance, and seamless integration within complex products and projects.

FAQs

We have a wide range of fabrication facilities and skills. At heart, we are project engineers, meaning we specialise in one-off and lower volume manufacturing which often involves more complex and custom steelwork solutions. Our sub-assemblies support a wide range of products from machinery stands, temporary buildings, skids, jigs, stair sets, small parts and many more. If you have the requirement for a trusted fabrication partner then we’d love to talk about how we could support you.

By utilising robust material sections and high-precision connections, we design sub-structures that mitigate the transfer of vibration from heavy machinery to the surrounding facility. All our structural solutions will include a structural surveyors report to ensure these loads are modelled and appropriately incorporated into the steelwork design. This can include dead-loads, dynamic-loads, vibrations and movement of people. External factors like weather and wind are also modelled if the steelwork will be outside.
