Structural steel is specifically designed and manufactured for use in construction and structural engineering applications. It is a versatile and commonly used material in the construction industry due to its high strength, durability, and ability to bear heavy loads. Structural steel is typically used for building frameworks, bridges, industrial facilities, and other structures where strength and stability are essential. Examples include:
Walkways
Platforms
Steel Buildings
Support Steelwork
Architectural metalwork involves the design, fabrication, and installation of decorative and functional metal elements in architectural and structural applications. This specialised field combines artistic and engineering skills to create aesthetically pleasing and durable metal features in buildings and outdoor spaces. Examples include:
Handrails
Balustrades
Staircases
Gates & Railings
Canopies
Bespoke Structures
Sheet metalwork is a specialised area of metalworking that involves the fabrication and manipulation of thin sheets of metal to create a wide range of products and components. These sheets are typically made from materials such as stainless steel, mild steel and aluminium. Sheet metalwork is a versatile field, and it encompasses various processes and techniques for forming, cutting, bending, and assembling sheet metal. ECF can design and manufacture DUCT work and bespoke sheet metalwork.
Thermal insulation is a material, or a combination of materials used to reduce the transfer of heat between objects or regions with different temperatures. It is employed in various applications to maintain a more stable and comfortable temperature within buildings, equipment, and industrial processes. The primary purpose of thermal insulation is to minimise heat loss thus improving energy efficiency and comfort. Our thermal insulation services include:
Pipes
Boilers
Ducting
Pipework refers to the use of metallic materials such as steel, copper, and stainless steel in the construction of pipelines and plumbing systems to transport fluids (liquids or gases) from one location to another. Pipework is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including residential and commercial plumbing, industrial processes, heating and cooling systems, and more. Our services include:
Prefabricated Pipework
Onsite Pipework
Site Welding by Coded Welders
Mobile welding is a service that provides the convenience of welding at the location where the work needs to be performed, rather than in a fixed workshop. This service is particularly valuable for various industries, including construction, manufacturing, repair, and maintenance as it allows for the welding of components, structures, and equipment in their existing or intended location. ECF boast 24/7 mobile welding units equipped with mobile welding plant, super silenced generators, cutting equipment and firefighting equipment operated by experienced welders qualified to BS EN-287as a minimum standard. Our welders hold CSCS cards and can carry out MMA,MIG, TIG and fabrication on site.
