NEWPORT REACHES FOR THE SKY

Newport Galvanizers was called upon to galvanize nearly nine tonnes of steel used by MetaFab Solutions to create the iconic helter skelter style feature installed on Redcar seafront. The vertical pier, which stands at 80 foot tall, has been built as an attraction to encourage more people to visit the popular tourist destination.

METALTREAT PROTECTS UNIQUE STEEL ART

Bradford-based Metaltreat galvanized a number of pieces created by fellow Yorkshire artist Mick Kirkby-Geddes, who transforms scrap steelwork into beautiful works of art that take the form of cartoon characters, insects, clocks, and flowers.

MERSEYSIDE GOES THE EXTRA MILE

Garston-based Merseyside Galvanizing was tasked with galvanizing more than 120 tonnes of steel that was used by agricultural fabrication company Global Livestock Solutions Limited to design and manufacture all the cattle and sheep holding pens at the new North West Auctions cattle market in Kendal, Cumbria.
