Plate Profiling
We utilise our V304 & V310 plate profiling machines for strip cutting and cutting to length of materials to make up our plate girder carcasses. The V304 is a plasma & gas profiler, whereas the V310 is plasma only but has drilling capabilities.

Shotblasting & Painting
We have our nearby Bellshill Facility – This 35 ½ acre plot in North Lanarkshire is home to our 350,000sq ft Clydesdale Coatings Paint shop facility specialising in the application of primers, multi-coat and intumescent paint systems to provide durability and fire protection. Managed and operated by our fully trained operatives, we provide full pre and post fabrication shotblasting facilities to suit client requirements, including our manual blaster utilising chilled iron grit for larger steel assemblies.

Fabrication
In addition to supplying our customers with plate girder carcasses, STRUBEAM can offer a full fabrication, painting & delivery service. Utilising our state-of-the-art equipment (blasting, plate profiling, saw/drill line) combined with our highly skilled fabricators & welders, and progressive quality control methods, we can fabricate to the highest quality (Execution Class 4) on even the most complex of projects. The Strubeam name has become synonymous with on-time quality heavy fabrication.

Cambering
STRUBEAM have adopted two methods of producing camber into a beam for deflection. One method is to nest the camber into the profile when strip cutting the web up to 40mm when using our 26m CNC controlled 5 head oxy acetylene with integrated plasma profiling bed capable of multi strip cuts up to a thickness of 200mm. The camber is then formed as part of the sub arc welding process. The other method is cold cambering. This is the most common method of inducing camber on the beam. This is done by placing the beam in our 440T press cambering machine and utilising the horizontal cylinder pusher and moveable rollers. The ram pushes at predetermined set points until the stress in the beam is past the yield point, which produces a permanent strain. This results in a uniform camber curvature that is ideal for counteracting the effect of loadings on the individual member.

Sub-arc Welding
Our sub-arc welding line consists of 2 twin-head welding units which weld both sides of the web plate simultaneously to create a T-beam in the vertical position. The machine is capable of welding both symmetrical and non-symmetrical beams without the need for tacking. Our machines welds at 600amp with 4mm welding wire to achieve greater penetration. The T-beam is then turned using hydraulic arms and transferred to our second line & built into an I-beam with the addition of the second flange. If required, heavy multi-run fillet welds can be achieved using this process. We pre-cut required service holes in the web plate only where required, so there will be no requirement for any costly infills.
