Machine frames and bases
Load-bearing and locating structures adapted to the equipment, foundation method and required mounting points.
Industrial structures
Structures engineered around their function and operating environment
We manufacture custom steel structures and components from supplied documentation or from technical requirements developed together with the customer.
Starting point
Send us a design or describe the operational problem.
We review the required function, operating environment, access and handling requirements, loads and interfaces with existing equipment.
On this basis, we agree the documentation scope, material, manufacturing process, surface protection, transport and installation conditions.
Feasibility, performance parameters, dimensions and division of responsibility are confirmed before an order is accepted.
Scope
Components designed for a specific application.
Platforms, walkways and steps
Access structures for operation, inspection and maintenance activities within production facilities.
Technical access ladders
Custom access solutions adapted to the available space, height and intended use.
Guards and partitions
Structures separating work zones and controlling access to machinery or sections of a process.
Brackets and mounting elements
Supporting and mounting structures developed for the specified equipment or installation.
Workplace modifications
Components required when changing layouts, equipment, operating methods or integrating new machinery.
Project delivery
From requirements to a structure ready for operation.
Requirement assessment
Documentation, function, operating conditions, programme and installation location.
Technical coordination
Measurement, solution development, materials, joints and documentation scope.
Manufacture and inspection
Material preparation, welding, required machining and component inspection.
Delivery and installation
Transport planning, positioning and the agreed acceptance procedure.
Silma Tools capability
Industrial structures may require more than welding.
Our in-house toolroom can produce precision plates, pockets, locating surfaces, shafts, bushes and mounting holes.
We combine milling, turning, drilling, grinding and dimensional inspection with structural fabrication, allowing our engineers to assess the complete task rather than dividing responsibility between unrelated suppliers.
FAQ
Before sending an enquiry
Can we approach you without complete manufacturing documentation?
Yes. We can begin with a description of the problem, functional requirements and operating conditions. The required engineering scope is agreed before quotation.
Which industrial structures do you manufacture?
Our scope includes custom machine frames and bases, platforms, walkways, steps and technical access ladders, guards and partitions, brackets, mounting elements and components for workplace modifications.
Do you take measurements at the installation site?
Where required, the project scope can include site measurement, adaptation to existing equipment and agreement of the installation method.
Can the structure incorporate precision-machined components?
Yes. Our in-house toolroom can combine structural fabrication with milling, turning, drilling, grinding and dimensional inspection of locating or mounting components.
Do you provide transport and installation?
Transport and installation are confirmed for the specific location, dimensions, programme and site conditions.
Do you have documentation or an operational problem to solve?
Send the requirements, dimensions and information about the operating environment.
If a complete design is not available, describe the required function and result. We will identify the information needed for technical assessment.
