Site Visit 22/05/08
We contacted Adam (manager) about a site visit to the ATEX steel shop where they fabricate steel beams and columns for tilt up panel buildings. The visit to the warehouse allowed us to gain an insite into the steel fabrication processes and provided usefull photo's and information for my major project.
Steel and plates and cleats ready for welding or casting into the panels. Adam informed us that they (ATEX steel) receive Engineer's details from the engineers that are then transferred (converted) into shop drawings, that can be used by the fabricators.
Welding and fabricating off-site allows for better quality product and less error. Productivity is also increased due to the warehouse providing shelter from the weather and a more comfortable and pleasant environment is created.
