Intelligent Integration

Creating steel structures using an end-to-end design, fabrication and installation process cuts out disconnects and conflicting priorities. Solutions can then be manufactured, installed and maintained efficiently and without complication.

Our objective is a perfect first time fit with no variations and reworks.

We call this intelligent integration. Here’s what it looks like.

Survey

Combined site inspection and survey teams improve accuracy and remove disconnects. Designs are easier to install and maintain.

Scope

Applied fabrication expertise ensures that practicality, buildability and cost reduction drive design decisions.

Options

Fine tuning materials, methods and detailing to reduce full lifecycle costs.

Design

Two-stage BIM Level 2 design process ensures buildability from the outset – avoiding late stage changes and costly reworks.

Fabrication

A two-stage stage detailing and production process eliminates potential clashes and enables precise fabrication. FTE is accredited to CE mark steelwork Execution class 3.

Installation

We use our own teams, plant and equipment to guarantee safety, quality and a smooth handover.

Benefits of Better Project Management

The end result of better project management is safer, more reliable partnerships with our clients where variations and any cost or time over-runs are significantly reduced – in an industry where up to 40% variations are not unusual, but are hugely disruptive to project delivery, we average 5%. Giving clients much greater certainty as well as quality.

Reactive Call-Out Services

Our reactive call out facility responds quickly to unplanned requirements for fabrication, structural repairs or temporary works.

Our extensive survey expertise assists in accurate and detailed assessments and recommendations on the best course of remedial action.
