Project Overview

Love Metal Fabrication collaborated with Space Build Ltd to fabricate and supply custom structural steelwork for a residential development at Pippins, Barnham Road, Eastergate, West Sussex (PO20 3RT). The steel elements were crucial for providing load-bearing support in structural alterations to the property.

The scope included:

The project was completed successfully within seven days, ensuring the construction programme stayed on track.

Challenges

The client needed precisely fabricated structural steel, ready for immediate on-site installation. Key challenges included:

Exact fit requirements

Steelwork had to match site measurements and detailed plans.

Durability

Protective finishing essential for long-term structural integrity.

Timely delivery

Coordination critical to avoid delays in construction.

Addressing these challenges was essential to maintain efficiency and avoid costly interruptions.

Solution and Execution

1. Design and Engineering

Working from accurate site measurements and engineering drawings, we fabricated each beam and column to exact specifications. Additional welded plates and stiffeners were included where required to ensure strength.

2. Fabrication Process

We used structural mild steel, selected for its strength and versatility. A zinc phosphate primer was applied to all components to provide long-lasting corrosion protection, especially important given varied environmental conditions.

3. Delivery and Logistics

All steelwork was delivered on time and fully prepared for installation, ensuring seamless integration into the build without any additional site modifications.

Results and Benefits

On-schedule delivery – Enabled uninterrupted progress on site.
Accurate fit – Reduced the need for on-site adjustments.
Enhanced durability – Zinc phosphate primer protected steel components against corrosion.
Client satisfaction – Positive feedback on the quality, precision, and reliable delivery.
