From Fabrication to Delivery — A Large-Scale Lifting Frame - Part 1
Part 1
Measuring over 6 metres tall and just shy of 6 metres wide, this was certainly no ordinary fabrication job. Our team carefully fabricated and assembled the frame, paying close attention to accuracy, strength and the overall requirements of the project. But the job didn't stop once fabrication was complete… We also had to deliver the completed frame to the customer. Moving a structure of this size presents its own challenges.
Steelwork taking shape in Loughton, Essex
The installation includes structural columns, primary roof beams and cranked steel beams, forming the framework required to support the new structure and accommodate the building design.
The steelwork was carefully installed following a crane lift, ensuring each section was safely positioned and accurately aligned on site.
From fabrication through to installation, every section is carefully positioned to ensure accuracy, strength and a solid foundation for the next stage of construction.
Whether it’s structural steel, roof beams, cranked beams or bespoke fabrication, EAPL is here to support your project from start to finish.
Flood Gate Frames Replaced by EAPL Southampton
These new flood gate frames have now been replaced by the team at EAPL Southampton, giving the structure a fresh lease of life and ensuring they’re ready to do their job.
Another great piece of work completed by the team.

EAPL Completes Bespoke Vessel Platform Project
Once fabrication was completed, the platform was carefully sectioned to suitable transport dimensions, allowing it to be safely and efficiently delivered to site for installation.
EAPL successfully coordinated the fabrication, inspection and transportation requirements, providing the customer with a reliable, efficient and fully managed solution from workshop to vessel.
Steel Structures Fabricated and Delivered by EAPL
The project was completed at our Peterlee facility. Once successfully inspected, the steel structures were shot blasted and professionally painted before being prepared for delivery.
EAPL successfully coordinated the project through each stage of the process, ensuring the completed structures were delivered to site on schedule.
EAPL Delivers Crane Stopper Fabrication Project
Using certified steel, EAPL manufactured the crane stoppers at our fully equipped facility in Peterlee.
Following completion of the fabrication and welding, MPI was arranged on all welds to ensure the required quality and inspection standards were met.
The crane stoppers were prepared and sent for painting and finishing before being delivered directly to the customer’s site.
Bespoke Steel Railings for Abridge Village Hall Playground
The objective was to provide a safe, durable and visually appealing fencing solution that complemented the newly refurbished playground.
The project began in our fabrication workshop, where each railing panel was manufactured using high-quality steel sections and assembled on purpose-built jig to ensure complete consistency throughout production, maintaining strict tolerances Throughout fabrication, rigorous quality inspections were carried out to verify dimensions, alignment and weld integrity before each panel progressed to the next stage.
Every joint was professionally welded by our experienced fabricators before being cleaned, inspected and prepared for hot-dip galvanising. Once galvanised, the railings were installed on site by the EAPL team, creating a secure perimeter around the playground.
Specialist Marine Welding in Challenging Conditions
This project involved carrying out complex welding in a marine environment, where working over water and in difficult access conditions meant every task had to be carefully planned and executed.
Proud to be part of a team that takes on these challenges with professionalism and delivers quality results every time.
No shortcuts. Just skill, teamwork, and getting the job done right.
Structural Steel Package Delivered to Reading
Every beam was cut, fabricated, and welded by our skilled team in-house, ensuring complete control over quality from start to finish.
Before loading for delivery, every weld was subjected to NDT (Non-Destructive Testing), providing assurance that each beam meets the highest standards of quality and structural integrity.
