Project overview
MAH Steel fabricated and delivered the structural steel for a residential project in Bushey, Hertfordshire, a short journey from our factory across the M25. It was our first job for this customer, so we had to impress from start to finish.
It was a multi-phase project: the steel columns had to be installed first, before we could send the cranked steels.
How we solved it
Bolted connections on the cranked steels
Our solution was to create a bolted connection on the cranked steels. That let us load and unload them safely and install them with ease.
A crane lift instead of a kerbside offload
The delivery was originally booked as a lorry offload to kerbside. When the customer saw the crane on our lorry, and how well our driver used it, he realised he did not need to pay for another crane to lift his steel to where he wanted it, so we did the lift ourselves. The original write-up says this saved a considerable amount of money compared with a separate crane.
Fabrication and finish
The steel was cut to the cutting list and fabricated from Tekla drawings. It was then painted in our paint shop, checked against the delivery notes, loaded onto one of our crane lorries and delivered to site. All components were checked at delivery before the job was signed off.
Outcome
- Cranked steels loaded, delivered and installed using bolted connections
- Steel lifted into place by our own crane lorry, so the customer did not need to book a separate crane
It has been a pleasure working with MAH Steel. A very smooth process with great communication and problem solving. We will be back with our next project for 48 flats next year.
