Leading UK steel fabrication specialist SCH Site Services is going from strength to strength after adopting an“ all-under-oneroof” business model.
It provides expert welding and fabrication of structural steelwork and installations for the construction industry across the country, but mainly in the North-East.
Many of the firm’ s projects have included sites in the Tees region, with SCH gaining £ 20m-worth of its revenue from these projects in the last five years.
Operating out of its 39,000-sq ft fabrication facility at Aycliffe Business Park, the company employs more than 40 highly skilled staff – six of whom hail from the Teesside area – who meet rigorous standards, having spent their entire careers in the construction industry. Each fabricator is a certified welder with expertise in various coding techniques.
To ensure the quality of welds, the team conducts thorough visual inspections, examining every weld with meticulous attention to detail.
In addition, the in-house welding inspector performs certified nondestructive testing( NDT) to further enhance the integrity of the welds.
In addition to welding expertise, the firm provides a diverse range of surface treatment solutions.
Its state-of-the-art paint shop allows staff to customise the finishing of products according to each project’ s specific requirements.
Whether it’ s a primer coating or a fire protective coating, the company has the capabilities to tailor the surface treatment to meet the desired outcome.
Once on site, SCH’ s experts are on hand to oversee the project, using their vast experience to advise on best practice.
Staff are always available and can consult on potential problems, often preventing them from occurring in the first place.
Project-specific inspection and test plans can be produced at the client’ s request to offer further peace of mind.
