Datim Building - Steelwork and plant deck at Zara, Metrocentre

We recently completed a successful project for a client requiring the installation of supporting steel on their shop floor and a steel plant deck on the roof. The project involved careful planning and precise execution to ensure both structural integrity and seamless integration with the existing building.

Our skilled team fabricated the steel and installed the supporting steel framework on the shop floor, providing a strong and reliable foundation for the client's operations. Following this, we constructed and installed the steel plant deck on the roof, designed to accommodate the necessary equipment while meeting all safety and load-bearing requirements.

Despite the complexity of working on two different levels, our team delivered the project on time and without any issues, showcasing our commitment to quality and professionalism. The client was highly satisfied with the results, praising our efficiency and attention to detail.

We first had the pleasure of working alongside J Dalby and Son on the refurbishment of an industrial unit in Sunderland where they supplied and installed the new steelwork and cladding. As this was a significant proportion of the works, we were hesitant to award to an unknown subcontractor at first but after meeting Paul and Ben prior to commencement all doubts were put at ease by their professional approach.

We have since built a fantastic relationship with them working on various projects including at the Metrocentre, Eldon square and the Team Valley where they have been able to overcome the logistical headaches that naturally occur when working in and around a live commercial environment.

As well as this they have been able to assist on smaller domestic refurbishment projects when required and all round are a great subcontractor to have as part of our team.

When it comes to steelwork, cladding and commercial roof works they are always at the top of our supplier list.
