About Us

Our History

Since 2016

In 2016, our journey began as a steel fabrication company, primarily serving the construction sector, fabricating steelwork ranging from domestic installations to hospitals and schools, and anything in between. As we honed our skills and expanded our capabilities, we recognised an opportunity to make a more significant impact in the field of transmission and distribution.

Over the years, we evolved and transformed into a comprehensive design, fabrication, and installation company, specialising in the transmission and distribution sector.

This transition allowed us to leverage our experience in steel fabrication and apply it to a new realm, creating robust, innovative solutions that now play a vital role in the energy landscape.

Today, we take pride in our journey of growth and adaptation, constantly striving to deliver top-quality services to our clients in the sector, while maintaining the same commitment to excellence that has been with us since our inception.
