Steel fabrication for Meopham

MAH Steel fabricates structural steel at our Gravesend workshop in Kent for houses and extensions in Meopham, a village about seven miles long on the North Downs dip slope that includes Hook Green, Meopham Green and Culverstone Green, with delivery by lorry-mounted crane (HIAB) along the A227.

Meopham is close to the Gravesend base, and the delivery runs along the A227, the village's main road, which links Gravesend with Wrotham and the M20. Houses and extensions here are fabricated to the structural engineer's drawings, from a large stock of sections, and checked before delivery.

Planning context is worth having in hand: three of the settlements in the parish contain conservation areas, and the Culverstone Valley area, built on 1930s plots, is now Green Belt. For the lift, MAH's HIAB cranes reach 15 m (suited to tight access and residential streets), 22 m or 30 m with a fly jib. Which is used, and whether the lift is feasible, is confirmed per job, with crane operators who are ALMI trained.
