Prefabricationservices
Wideflats
Wide flats from plate are dimensionally accurate and ready for assembly. Wide flats speed up the manufacture of steel
structuresandavoidwastingofmaterial.

Flatcutshapes
Flat cut shapes will decrease the throughput time of installation. The customer will receive the components ready for
installation. So, unnecessary material and storing costs can be avoided. If ordered, the products are delivered as shop
primed,bevelledandbent.

Bevelling

Bentplateproducts
Bent plate products are components that are ready to be delivered to the installation site, which is beneficial in terms of

In case of rigid joints, undermatching welding consumables can also be used for the welding of the back weld of thick

If an overmatching welding consumable is used when welding Optim 500 ML steels, preheating requirements must be
decided onthe basisof the carbonequivalent of the welding consumable. In this case, the welding consumable hardens
