Industrial fabrication and structural works
Most fabrication disputes are not about welding. They are about weight, because the drawing said one thing and the take-off said another.
Fabrication is quoted from a take-off, not from an impression. Section sizes, lengths and plate thicknesses are computed from the drawing and reconciled against any bill of material supplied with the enquiry. Where the two disagree, we say so at quotation stage rather than raising it as a claim after fabrication has started.
Work is carried out in our own fabrication shops, which keeps quality checks and rework inside our control rather than at a third party. Fit-up, welding, surface preparation and painting or powder coating are done before dispatch, so what arrives at the plant is ready to erect.
Site erection is planned like any other machine job: access, lifting, working at height clearance, and a fixed completion. Structural work inside an operating plant is usually the part that has to fit around production, and that is a sequencing question, not a fabrication question.
What we fix before mobilising
| Take-off | Independent weight take-off from the drawing, reconciled against the supplied bill of material. |
|---|---|
| Material | Section and plate specification confirmed in writing before cutting starts. |
| Finish | Surface preparation and paint or powder coat specification agreed at quotation, not at dispatch. |
| Dispatch | Fabricated, finished and inspected before it leaves the shop. |
| Erection | Access, lifting and height clearance planned against the plant production schedule. |
What we need from you to quote
A firm price needs firm inputs. Send whatever you have; we will tell you what is missing.
- Fabrication drawings, ideally with sections marked
- Bill of material if one exists
- Material specification and finish requirement
- Quantity and delivery location
- Whether erection is in our scope
- Required delivery date
