Fire-painted steel with butt splices for Ingatestone, craned straight onto the scaffolding

Project overview

A regular customer in Ingatestone, Essex, asked for a quote. The customer accepted it and we began work. No drawings were needed on this occasion: a simple description from the customer was enough, though we still had to confirm the location of the butt splices before the job went down to the yard.

Work delivered

Fabrication

Our cutting and saw operators checked the cutting list and cut the steel to the required measurements. The fabrication team checked the lengths, and a forklift took the steel to the fabrication area, where our in-house inspector checked all the material before the fabricators started. Once fabricated, the steel was checked again to make sure the right holes were drilled and the beams with end plates lined up.

Finish and delivery

The steel was fire painted and loaded onto our 22-metre crane vehicle. On site, once the steel had been checked and the job signed off, we placed it with our crane exactly where the customer needed it: straight onto their scaffolding, so the builder could continue.

Outcome

• Steel placed straight onto the customer's scaffolding
