Structures supporting the process
Frames, supports and structural assemblies for equipment. Interface design covers loads, anchors, thermal movement and access for operation and maintenance.
Engineering discipline
Steel structures
Process frames, platforms, walkways and supporting structures coordinated with on-site installation.
Practical applications
The task determines the scope.
Platforms and access
Operating platforms, walkways and ancillary structures in industrial plants. Actual space constraints, safe access and the installation method determine the solution.
Shutdown replacement
Replacement of degraded structures with off-site preparation. The sequence must account for dismantling, handling, adjacent equipment and return to service.
Available scope
- Shop drawings and installation planning
- Fabrication of frames, platforms and supporting structures
- Coordination of corrosion protection
- Installation and modifications to existing structures
From the brief to handover
Connected work. Clear checkpoints.
- 01
Survey and interfaces
Check geometry, loads, connection points and the existing structure. Establish design and structural assessment responsibilities.
- 02
Documentation and segmentation
Shop and installation drawings, bills of materials, transportable sections and surface protection interfaces.
- 03
Fabrication and installation
Cutting, machining, welding and assembly to an approved plan. Coordinate anchoring, lifting and installation tolerances.
- 04
Acceptance
Verify geometry, joints, surface protection and agreed documentation before handover.
For the quotation
What to prepare.
- Drawings and available as-built records
- Structural purpose and loads, including dynamic effects
- Material, environment and corrosion protection requirements
- Execution class and weld inspection requirements where specified
- Space, lifting and transport constraints
- Required date, shutdown window and adjacent operating constraints
For operation and maintenance
What we agree to hand over.
- Fabricated and installed assembly to approved documentation
- Material and welding records within the specified scope
- Dimensional inspection and any agreed NDT reports
- Surface protection and installation records
- As-built documentation as contracted
The agreed offer specifies the actual documents, tests and supply boundaries.
Technical preparation
Resources matched to the work.
We plan the work sequence, equipment and specialist team for the project. The proposal links each activity to its schedule, responsible contractor and required qualification records.
Equipment and tools
- Profile and plate cutting equipment, drilling and machining
- Welding workstations, assembly fixtures and handling equipment
- Geometrical measurement and weld and coating inspection equipment
Competence and verification
- EN 1090 requirements are assessed against the function and applicable regime
- Welding qualifications and coordination suited to the material and execution class
- Competence and training for handling and work at height; equipment-specific authorisations where required

Questions that shape the project.
Can you modify an existing structure?
The scope may include a modification or partial replacement. Condition, loads, connections and the required design assessment must first be established.
How can the installation window be reduced?
Accurate surveys, prefabricated sections, prepared connections and a handling plan can help. Actual duration depends on access, dismantling and coordination with the plant.
Can you provide certification evidence?
The proposal identifies the required documents and the responsible fabricator. Certificates need to match the holder, scope, validity and structural requirements.
