Steel refurbishment: Restoring strength & durability to structural steel
Our steel refurbishment services encompass a wide range of capabilities. Our team of experts has the capability to perform repairs and reinforcements to address structural deficiencies.
Following a thorough assessment of the existing steel structure to identify areas of deterioration we’ll develop a detailed refurbishment plan that outlines the scope of work, materials needed, and timeline for completion.
The scope of steel refurbishment work may include welding, patching, or installing additional steel plates or braces to strengthen weakened areas.
Ensuring the longevity of your steel components
From preparing the surface of your steel structure to the final inspection and aftercare, our steel refurbishment process is more than just a patch up job.
Surface preparation ensures proper adhesion of coatings and repairs. We utilise a variety of techniques, including abrasive blasting, grinding, and chemical cleaning, to remove rust, scale, and other contaminants from the surface of the steel.
Once repairs are complete, we apply protective coatings to the surface of the steel to prevent corrosion and enhance durability.
High quality steel refurbishment you can count on
Quality is at the core of everything we do. Before completing the refurbishment process, we conduct a final inspection and testing to ensure that all work has been completed to the highest standards.
This quality inspection may include visual inspections, adhesion tests, and thickness measurements to verify the integrity and performance of the refurbished steel structure.
Ultimately, we’re testing to ensure we’ve done everything we can to restore strength, durability and performance to your steel assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Steel refurbishment is the process of restoring ageing or deteriorating steel structures to improve their strength, durability, and aesthetic appearance. The purpose of refurbishing old steel is to increase its longevity and strength, saving on the costs to replace it.
Welding is often used to repair cracks, fractures and other structural defects. Similarly, larger areas of damage can be repaired with new steel plates and patches. Bolting and riveting may be used to reinforce joints that have been compromised. Abrasive blasting and chemical cleaning removes rust and corrosion, followed by a protective coating to protect the steel from further damage.
The best way to protect steel is to regularly inspect it, maintain it and put corrosion protection, such as protective coatings and paint, in place.
Yes, corroded or rusted steel can often be repaired through various methods, including surface cleaning, rust removal, and application of protective coatings. Depending on the extent of corrosion and structural damage, repairs may involve patching, welding, or reinforcing the affected areas to restore the integrity and strength of the fabricated steel components.
