The Offices and main Workshop can be seen in the foreground, leading into the stock, cutting and loading area. To the right is the Paintshop and storage.  Two large sections of bridge can just be seen in the top right corner.

Both sides of the main workshop have overhead cranes running into the fabrication bays and the full length of the stock and cutting areas.These areas are divided into cutting, drilling, assembly and welding zones. A total a 6 number 5 Tonne cranes allow full use of all the workshop space with minimum disruption to all the various projects being undertaken.

At the end of the stock area is the purpose built paint shop and shot blasting area. This has an automated shot blasting machine for the larger sections of steel that are often blasted and primed before assembly in the workshops. A blasting booth caters for the items that cannot be accommodated by the machine. Another separate booth has hot metal spraying facilities. Much effort is spent ensuring these operations are as environmentally friendly as possible with the emphasis being on the use of water based and single coat high build paint systems.

The balustrade and stair workshop. Large steel benches allow the necessary setting-out and assembly of the many types of metalwork that are produced here. An overhead crane allows the larger items to be easily moved for welding and to the Paintshop. Milling, cutting and drilling facilities are all available in this area.
