Infrastructure
We manufacture steel castings, allowing architects the freedom to achieve unique and architecturally attractive components for bridges and buildings. Whilst infrastructure components may be by design decorative only, they can also utilise the high strength and reliability of steel to carry structural loads.
Utilising castings allows for production of complex geometries with high strength, ductility and toughness with excellent surface finishes, maintaining the functional design brief. Finishing processes such as machining, fabrication, welding and painting are regularly included in our work scope; all part of the service that we provide.
There are several inherent benefits to specifying castings for infrastructure applications, due to the manufacturing flexibility that exists. The correct design and execution of infrastructure castings can yield minimal stress concentrations and reduced load fatigue sensitivity.
A range of material grades can be specified, in which the through section mechanical and metallurgical properties can be provided to support the design process. As cast components are produced near net shape and are highly repeatable and accurate, they are the shrewd architect’s choice for prestigious projects.
