Project overview
A new customer, recommended to us by an existing one, needed a custom-sized goalpost frame for a new build in Hertford, Hertfordshire. After discussing the job in detail and receiving the customer's engineer's drawings, we produced a quote.
Once the costs were approved, our team produced drawings showing what the finished frame would look like, and after some tweaks from the customer's feedback we reached a fully detailed general arrangement drawing, ready for fabrication.
How it was made
Cutting, grinding and drilling
When the steel arrived it was offloaded by our fork trucks and checked by our inspector from top to bottom before cutting began. The main beam was marked out and cut to length by oxy-acetylene burning, then ground back to the square line and ground where the stiffeners were to be welded. End plates were marked out and drilled, ready to be welded to the main beam.
Welding, painting and inspection
Our inspector checked the work at the end of each stage, then the drilling team drilled the holes and the welders took over, with the beam turned on the fork trucks so they could reach every area. After a final welding check, the beams went to our paint shop, were painted as the quote required and inspected for quality and thickness, then laid out in the yard ready for loading.
Outcome
- Delivered on the day the customer had been promised, despite late engineering changes (the customer's account)
MAH Steel were a pleasure to work with, Nick provided clear communication throughout and despite there being some late engineering changes, was able to react quickly so no time was lost and the delivery happened on the day that he said it would, very impressed and will use again.
