Steel fabrication: Custom solutions with extreme precision

At Carver Engineering, your project is in skilled hands. You’ll work with a dedicated, highly experienced project engineer who will collaborate with you to understand your exact requirements.

Whether it’s steel bridge fabrication, structural components or spare parts for machinery, we’re capable of turning jobs around quickly and efficiently, without compromising on quality. Our shop floor packets contain examination reports on all aspects of the job, from NDT and machining assessments to the final inspection reports and approvals. No job leaves the floor until our high standards of quality have been met.

Whatever your project, your project engineer will be in touch regularly to keep you informed on updates and queries, ensuring the final product goes above and beyond your expectations.

Transformative steel fabrication projects for key industries

As well as using sheet fabrication to bridge the gap for the rail and transport industry, we’ve successfully delivered numerous projects across a range of sectors.

From detailed design to steel erection, we’ve replaced and refurbished numerous pedestrian footbridges, road bridges and overbridges in the highway sector, installed airport parkways and implemented AFC conveyors and roof supports in the mining sector.

We can support the engineering of all elements of your project, including staircases, trestles and lift shafts, access ramps and platform extensions, plus handrails and canopies for working at height. Once erected, support from the team at Carver doesn’t stop there. We apply protective coatings to ensure longevity for your fabricated steel investment.

High standards of steel fabrication you can count on

Quality, safety and the environment are key factors that underpin each and every steel fabrication project we embark upon. Our standards and accreditations demonstrate our workmanship and dedication to delivering quality products.

We adhere to the total compliance with the standards and protection requirements associated with material processing, ensuring the successful and timely completion of your project with attention to detail at every stage.

All products manufactured by Carver are CE marked, meaning they’re recognised as being compliant with all applicable EU health, safety, performance and environmental requirements. We’re also certified and working to BC EN ISO 3834-2:2005, a comprehensive quality requirement for fusion welding metallic materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steel fabrication is the process of transforming raw steel materials into finished products or structures through cutting, bending, welding, and assembling. This process involves various techniques and machinery to create components such as beams, columns, frames, and other structural elements used in construction, manufacturing, and other sectors.

There are a wide range of applications for fabricated steel, including structural components for buildings and bridges, machinery and equipment parts for manufacturing processes, and much more. Fabricated metal offers strength, durability and versatility, making it an indispensable construction material.

Steel fabrication involves the process of shaping, cutting and assembling raw steel materials into finished products or structures according to design specifications (also known as materials processing). Alternatively, manufacturing steel refers to the production of raw steel materials through processes like smelting, casting and rolling.

From the get-go, you’ll work with an experienced engineer to create a detailed design and plan for the steel components, considering key factors such as dimensions, tolerances and constraints. Then, we’ll use cutting tools like plasma cutters to cut the sheet metal to the required shapes and sizes. We’ll bend and join the fabricated steel into place before applying a finishing coating to improve the appearance and functionality of the product. After this, our quality control engineers will conduct thorough inspections before installation.
