Who we
work with
Our main markets are rail, highways, marine and offshore. FTE is also an approved structural steelwork supplier to our clients in the MoD and Environment Agency, Water and Wastewater.
By marrying practical fabrication and installation experience with advanced design capabilities FTE ensures clients enjoy the full benefits of manufactured construction.
There’s less disruption and greater certainty over project costs and timing.
The FTE Intelligent Integration approach can be readily deployed across all markets sectors with a demand for a structural steel specialist.
Better project management means faster, more reliable manufacturing and installation, delivered though a proven design and production process.
Environment
At FTE we recognise the importance of protecting these biodiverse habitats and rivers during our work activities. Healthy rivers are a crucial factor in mitigating the effects of climate change and strengthening our ecosystems and biodiversity resilience.
When working in these environments it is crucial that the works are completed first time, efficiently and safely so the environment is returned unharmed and undisturbed as quickly as possible. The FTE “Intelligent Integration” approach does just that, minimising the time to survey, scope, design, fabricate and install structures in these highly sensitive environments. One accountable person, across every project stage and all delivered in-house.
Our Environment sector expertise includes new structures and bridges across and adjacent to waterways, including the River Thames, River Avon, and Port Creek. Our projects have included flood defences at various locations including Lymington and port, coastal and offshore environments. Our work at Northstowe involve the creation of access structures for a local community biodiversity area using techniques that avoided the requirement for ongoing intervention and maintenance within those established habitats.
Protection and enhancing wildlife schemes include otter pathways under the A303 and Kittywake nesting structures offshore. Other works have included the provision of specialist lock and sluice gates along with trash screens and grills to prevent watercourse pollution.
