Advanced metal fabrication techniques include laser cutting, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and precision sheet metal fabrication, all of which offer high precision and complex designs. These techniques are evolving with advancements in automation, robotics, and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
Architectural metalwork finds applications in various structural and decorative elements of buildings, including cladding, railings, staircases, and facades. It's used for both functional and aesthetic purposes, offering durability, versatility, and design options.
Finishing and protection involve treatments applied to materials to enhance their appearance and durability, as well as to safeguard them from damage. Finishing processes alter surface characteristics, while protection measures shield the surface from wear, tear, and environmental factors.
Installation & Site Work involves preparing a physical location for the installation of equipment, systems, or technology, and also includes the actual installation process itself. Site work, a crucial part of construction, focuses on preparing the land for building, utilities, and landscaping.
The term 'sustainability-driven innovation' describes new or improved products, services or processes that reduce the use of natural resources (such as materials, energy, water and land) and the release of harmful substances into the environment. It can also refer to marketing solutions that achieve these same goals.
