Steel beams for a loft conversion at Beaumaris Grove, from 3D drawings to Hiab delivery

Project overview

A loft conversion at Beaumaris Grove needed a selection of steel beams to create a secure structure. After speaking to the project co-ordinator and gathering the measurements and requirements, our in-house team produced 3D drawings. Once the client had checked and approved them, we ordered the steel.

Work delivered

Fabrication

Once the steel was delivered to our yard it was laid out and checked. It was loaded onto fork trucks for the saw, where our team cut it to the in-house drawings and our inspectors double-checked the measurements before fabrication started. On the fabrication bench the team checked that the ends were ground clean, tack welded the end plates into place and checked that the drill holes and plates lined up, since each beam had to form a straight piece once installed. Our welders fully welded the plates to the beams, and the inspector checked every beam.

Finish and delivery

The steel went to our paint shop, where the paint thickness was checked, then through a final check in our checking bays covering the cutting, holes, welding, painting, cut lengths and marking. Everything was labelled with the job number and supplied with the correct bolts and packing plates. It was loaded onto our Hiab crane lorry and delivered to site.
