Steel fabrication involves the transformation of raw material into the desired shape use in engineering constructions. Steel has become the material of choice in the construction of superstructures, especially in shipbuilding in the Naval Dockyard Limited. Other shipbuilding materials such as fibre reinforced glass, non-ferrous metal, aluminium, and more are also used in the Naval Dockyard Limited, but steel which is a combination of carbon and iron, a highly versatile construction material remains the most preferred. This is because steel is well known for its corrosive and heat resistance properties as well as low cost. The most common steel for shipbuilding is mild and plain carbon steel. The reason is that they boast of properties that are uniquely suited for marine engineering.
Steel fabrication products are used in the manufacturing of large machinery parts used extensively in the building of the integral structure and parts of ships. The basic method of fabrication includes cutting, machining, drilling, welding, grinding, and other crafting methods. Steel fabrication is not an easy job to be done by any welding company. There are reasons to opt for the best steel fabricators for fabricating steel. This is because making the wrong choice when hiring a steel fabricator can be catastrophic.
At Naval Dockyard Limited, in complimenting the need for a comprehensive engineering outfit put in place a steel fabrication workshop that uses cutting edge technology to track operations and maintain the proficiency of the process. Some of our steel fabrication operations include circular cutting of steel rod up to 30mm in diameter, cold bending/straightening of the shaft up to 30mm diameter, plasma steel plate cutting using flame, power former [for folding], forging,[various shape], and more. Besides, all our grades of steel are certified and classified according to relevant societies.
