RTD Sensor Production

Thermowell fabrication involves the precision metal fabrication processes to create protective sleeves for temperature sensors. This includes cutting, forming, welding, and machining of metal tubes or shells to exact specifications, ensuring durability and accuracy in harsh industrial environments.

Metal fabrication covers the end-to-end transformation of raw metal (sheet, plate, bar, tube, or casting) into finished components or assemblies. Core steps include cutting, forming, punching/stamping, welding & joining, and mechanical assembly. These operations—supported by inspection and finishing—enable everything from lightweight brackets to structural frames in industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, and consumer products.

Metal Fabrication

Fabrication of structural frames, bases, mezzanines and platforms from plate, wide-flange beam, tube and angle. Operations include CNC thermal cutting, press-brake forming, fit-up, AWS-certified welding, stress-relief, shot-blasting and industrial coating.

Structural Steel Fabrication

Fabrication and precision assembly of heavy weldments—machine beds, hoppers, ducting and structural frames—utilising positioners, sub-arc welding, thermal-stress relief and in-house machining for flatness and hole location accuracy.
