At BWS Carlisle we can cut or profile, to very close tolerances, all of the products we supply, whether it be single cut requirement or a full members list for a new building.
BWS Carlisle is the only stockholder in Scotland and North West England with in-house drilling facilities for structural sections. Installed in 2008, our state of the art cut-and-drill line has already proved really popular with fabrication customers. We take the output from your design/drawing package, such as Strucad, and produce cut, drilled sections ready for fabrication at your premises, with a minimum of human intervention. Combined with BWS Carlisle's reputation for quality and service, this cut-and-drill facility is really special. Now more than ever, we are the one stop Steel Specialist.
BWS Carlisle is able to profile plate up to 100mm thick and in a multitude of shapes and quantities. We have in-house plasma profiling facilities with 'true role' technology.
Many engineering/fabrication applications now demand that the steel is shotblasted and primed prior to manufacture; similarly, many fabrications require this treatment prior to erection or installation. BWS Carlisle's experience in this area is unrivalled in Scotland and North West England.
