 Reflecting on a project from last summer, we handled the supply and delivery of gigantic steel beams to support the rear of a large house in Bristol. The header beam, weighing a hefty 118 kg per meter, spanned 8 meters with a slight crank at one end, flanked by two large columns.
It quickly became apparent that handling these beams would exceed our capacity. Consequently, Pete collaborated with our local steel supplier, South West Steel Supplies, to source and deliver the beams from their partner, MJ Patch. We provided the measurements and drawings, and they delivered the fabricated steel beam. The installation required more than mere muscle. We organized specialist installation and lifting equipment and personnel from 'Steel Beam Lifter' to smoothly deliver the beam to the site and hoist it into position. Beams of this magnitude demand meticulous planning and attention. Utilizing specialist lifting equipment and personnel turned this task into a breeze. At Chilcott Metal Products, we recognize our expertise and limitations and will not hesitate to bring in the 'big boys' when it ensures a project’s safe, timely, and cost-effective completion.
