Custom welded sections
Box sections, welded channels, plate girders, tapered beams and heavy columns built from plate to your engineer’s design.
When nothing in the catalogue fits, we build the section from plate to your engineer's design. From unusual profiles to complex load-bearing members, every detail is made to the project drawings.
| Section | What it is | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|
| Custom box sections | Four plates welded into a closed square or rectangular section, any size, with diaphragms where needed | Columns, exposed architectural steel, equipment frames |
| Welded channels | Channels welded from plate to the size and thickness you need, beyond the standard PFC range | Heavy lintels, edge beams, stair stringers, equipment frames |
| Welded I-sections | Flanges and web sized to the loads, including unequal flanges | Transfer beams, crane runway beams, long-span floors |
| Tapered beams | Depth varies along the length to suit the design, saving steel where full depth isn't needed. Single or double taper | Portal frames, cantilevers, hangar and shed roofs |
| Heavy columns | I, box or cruciform sections with baseplates, cap plates and splice preparation | Multi-storey buildings, plant structures, mining |
| Plate girders | Deep girders with web stiffeners and bearing plates, spliced for longer spans | Industrial buildings, crane gantries, transfer structures |
| Processed sections | UB, UC and PFC sections cut, coped, holed and fitted with end plates, cleats and baseplates. SHS, RHS and CHS tube laser cut. Angles and plate cut and holed. | Completing your structural package so everything arrives together |
Shop drawings can be prepared in-house if you don't have them.
Custom welded section profiles
A selection of fabricated sections manufactured to project-specific drawings and requirements.
Illustrative profiles only — not engineering or fabrication drawings.
