The Story

On the back of massive growth, the company has built a new production facility to allow for the continued expansion of the business into the next decade. The facility is purpose built and has been designed to incorporate as many practical features as possible, to allow for the business to operate far more efficiently than at its previous premises.

This has been achieved by having a flow through operation from the unloading to the steel members to mechanical handling to allow the beams to cut and drilled, then onto the fabricators and ultimately the new blasting and painting area.

The building has a 5000m2 production area with a further 680m2 of offices on 2 floors. Plus there is a 6m wide Canopy to 3 sides of the building. The external yard, parking and landscaping add a further 10,000m2 to the project.

The design of the building is such to create as much open and flexibility space as possible. Clad with Insulated panels to the roof and external walls, with feature brickwork and glazed façade to the office Area.

The premises would not be complete without the addition of new overhead and jib cranes, along with the rollers and transfer tables that have made a massive contribution to the material handling side of the operation.

The Construction build, from starting on site to having operatives working in the premises was 8 months.

Why It Should Win

Following the prestigious award of Runner up in the Irish Steel Awards in 2025, the company has continued to grow and expand its operations to meet the demand for the Industry.

And we want to improve on runner up!!
