April is National Welding Month and we wanted to share our appreciation of this hugely important skilled trade to recognise the trade and the welders that help keep the country moving forward. Alloy Fabweld understands that in our own industry alone, just how important this skilled work is. Welding is the essential, yet unseen element within most of our creations on construction and architectural projects. Welding is also an essential component of many industries such as construction, the automotive industry, the aviation industry, the marine industry, the gas and oil industry, and many more. Without this form of metal work, so many things that are essential in everyday life, including many buildings, gates, and fences, small kitchen appliances, vehicles - and even space travel - could not exist. Did you know that 70% of all manufactured products across the globe are made with the skills of welders?! So we would like to extend a special acknowledgement to our skilled welders across our businesses in Alloy Fabweld, Hunwick Engineering, Rebel Fabrications and Flexi Group, that make our business possible. The work can be a hot, sometimes difficult, challenging, demanding and a physically tasking job, but is absolutely necessary to create a large variety of products and infrastructures, especially in our business. There are many different and specialist forms of welding for every type of structure and our expert welding teams can work across these, from x-ray welding for water-tight structures to structural welding forms such as TIG and MIG Welding along with specialist welding methods where required. We also hope we do our bit to raises awareness about the shortage of trade skills in the welding industry and its career paths and celebrate the work of the welders who have delivered non-stop quality and built the world we live in, for many centuries. The industry always finds there is a gap in skilled welders, and we hope that many of the next younger generations and women who have been underrepresented in welding careers, will look to our industry for a career in welding.

Our Christmas Tree shows the food gifts that we are donating to a value of £300 for the local Uttlesford Food Bank. We love to support our local communities every year to help those struggling especially at this time. One story of how the local Food Bank really helps others is demonstrated with this one heartwarming story of Holly. Having always worked and never claimed benefits, Holly was working 2 jobs, including running a shop and bringing up her four-year-old daughter alone. When her daughter became poorly and had to spend time in hospital, she was forced to close the shop temporarily. When her daughter had recovered, they returned home to empty kitchen cupboards, bills racking up and no income to support them. Thanks to donations like this many people like Holly can be helped when they are in need. You can read more about their great support here, whether you know someone that needs support or to donate: https://uttlesford.foodbank.org.uk

This facade mock up of a complete section of a building was developed to demonstrate the overall finished product for a new residential development in North East London. Alloy Fabweld were requested to produce a very high grade and high quality professional finish mock-up using our specialist manufacturing techniques to create a complete section of the building, fitted with various coloured cladding, windows and doors. This was to allow all parties to inspect the finishes and materials that would to be used in the main project. The mock-up was produced within our facilities that are the UK's first carbon-neutral off-grid large-scale engineering facility. The benefits of creating mock-up designs using our specialist design team that use the latest 3D CAD, enables the planners working with the architects to create a model and physical benchmark of a 2D drawing of the proposals. The approach means that we can create samples, benchmarks and the design of a project for further development. Offering a more effective solution for the planning teams who can then work with many other suppliers in the process, especially on more specialist projects like this. This particular project required design and specifications to enable the client to work with multiple suppliers across many elements, such as the window, door, balcony and cladding providers who also have different ideas that require specialist understanding and application. Alloy Fabweld Make Cladding Work We are able to engineer cost-effective cladding system solutions. As part of our focus on DFMA and modular construction we are able to incorporate offsite cladding systems into other primary, or secondary structures such as balconies, canopies etc. For an informal chat about your project needs please contact: les.purdy@alloyfabweld.com or call our office on : 01371 878 600 Delivering the best-value safe-solutions for our clients: Designing - Manufacturing - Distributing Sustainably-Engineered Products at our 100% Green off-grid production facilities

Alloy Fabweld enjoyed working extensively on the steel and glass pavilions, fitting out with seating areas, open-end balconies are connected by a series of bridges, boardwalks and pontoons. The four bridges are really unique, that you can see in the video, all crafted from steel aluminium finished with soffits and glass, we worked entirely on the inside shell structures to create the unique pavilion itself. Along with creating the overall landscaping and installation to fit out the pavilion using our metalwork experience installing multiple features - cantilever balconies and terraces, the steelwork decking, the handrails, wires and posts, the sun loungers on the western pontoon using steel frame and timber cladding and the finishing glass work on the terraces. The work was not only exciting but also complex in nature, we could not use levels due to the movement in the water, therefore everything had to be squared and aligned precisely. Due to the nature of the structure and its location, it was imperative that we used the highest quality galvanised marine grade steel to protect the structure from the years that it will be standing in salty water. Working with logistical limits of access within the Wharf, we utilised specialist marine lifting equipment on specially design boats with crane bars to lift the heavy items into the project. We added value to reduce the overall carbon footprint, by producing the structures within our green manufacturing facility to complement the overall objective towards the target of a BREEAM Excellent rating. With each floating pavilion being made from sustainably-sourced timber-decking and aluminium extracted from hydro sources, each has a green roof with wildflowers and grasses, to improve carbon capture to lower the impact on the environment. This will result in the pavilions ranking highly among the top 10 per cent of buildings in terms of sustainability performance. Designed to reflect both Canary Wharf’s modern urban style and the history of its waterways. The pavilions are part of a long-term sustainable communities that support a healthier future for our cities. The Hawksmoor Wood Wharf in K1 opens this week to diners, sprawling across three levels with space for 150 diners and a bar.

Alloy Fabweld showcase their expertise in design, planning & fabrication solutions at the £7.5M City North development We are excited to share our video showcase of all of the varied and specialist metalwork solutions we supported Telford Homes with over the last 2 years for the Flagship City North development. By using our many years of expertise along with offsite manufacturing to provide many benefits across the City North project. Our unique approach for the City North development was in creating the balconies with the Brise soleil in situ, this increased the speed of installation, which also reduced the time impacted on the City North development. We worked to overcome the difficulties of building above a live underground station ensuring that we provided complete care and safety, by working closely with TFL and Telford Homes in the organisation and planning of the development to minimise disruption and risk to the public with access to the station. Furthermore, we provided solutions to overcome logistics issues, such as having to transport items down a very narrow lane that fed the City North site. Alloy Fabweld‘a team worked safely within the Covid restrictions in place at the time, whilst still meeting important deadlines for key project deliverables. We did this by utilising our logistics experience on how best to work within these constraints and utilised specialist lifting techniques and transported the items from our green manufacturing site in Gosfield with due care and attention. More added value benefits were delivered on the project by manufacturing many of the items offsite within our carbon-neutral off-grid large-scale engineering production facility. Our engineering and manufacturing in-house specialists helped to create a unique design for the elegantly oval-shaped building by enhancing the oval shape with a curved and faceted Brise soleil. Our engineering and manufacturing in-house specialists helped to create a unique design for the elegantly oval-shaped building by enhancing the oval shape with a curved & faceted Brise soleil. Telford Homes are putting City North on the map The whole project delivery was carefully considered in terms of its design and construction by the Telford Homes team: the two towers are specifically designed to act as anchoring points for Finsbury Park, an area that was previously considered as a place to transit through rather than spend time in which will put City North on the map to become more of a pinnacle location. City North is set across four sleek and stylish buildings including two awe-inspiring towers, the penthouse offers the very best views over Canary Wharf, the City on one side and Hampstead Heath and Alexandra Palace on the other. The scheme delivered 355 homes, there is also a sizeable space of 11,781 sq.m (126,809 sq.ft) of useable commercial space with large retail brands taking their place.

Our team of experts at Alloy Fabweld, designed, manufactured and supported the install of 190 balconies within the Prince of Wales Drive development. Our designers worked closely with the Berkeley Group and crafted unique and different shapes utilising squares and angler sides for the balconies. This provided the apartments with light reflecting from the daylight into each apartment, for the benefit of the residents and to compliment the overall design style of the building. All 190 balconies were fitted with the highest quality fire-rated aluminium decking, along with matching fire-rated aluminium soffits and cladding, giving residents greater peace of mind and offers every apartment a spacious, bright and private balcony. The PPC balustrades provide a high-quality, modern smooth bronze metallic powder coating. The finish of the balconies bronze tones complement the overall building providing a unique urban modern effect. Once the balconies were manufactured and tested against the high specifications and quality standards, our logistics team ensured the smooth delivery of the products, fully assembled for installation, to the site. Providing a quick installation, some balconies were stored on the roof of one of the blocks and installed from the roof of the building using a spider crane due to space restrictions at ground floor level. The remaining balconies were delivered straight to site and were lifted from the transport and installed directly, reducing time and effort on site. The unique approach for the Prince of Wales Drive had various benefits for the contactors. From reducing time on site, the balconies were delivered fully assembled, cutting down on installation time. The balconies were produced within our own facilities that is the UK's first carbon-neutral off-grid large-scale engineering facility, helping to reduce our carbon footprint along with ensuring a high level of quality control during the manufacturing and assembling process. The offsite manufacturing of the balconies also helped to reduce costs while increasing the quality of the balconies. Furthermore, this method of installation reduces the duration of scaffolding on-site, resulting in a direct cost saving to the contractor. Prince of Wales Drive residential apartments Prince of Wales Drive will feature 926 new homes, with contemporary 1 to 4 bedroom apartments, all within close reach of Battersea Park, Zone 1 and within a mile from Sloane Square. Set within 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens, these spacious apartments offer the state-of-the-art unique facilities, with a 17m pool, sauna, steam room, 8th floor roof terrace, 24-hour concierge, cinema, flexible work space, games area, private podium garden, karaoke room, screening room, 24th floor bar and lounge and secure basement parking.

Ballymore Building A03 Embassy Gardens, Nine Elms Ballymore Building A03, Embassy Gardens, is at the heart of Nine Elms, as part of a major neighbourhood riverside revitalisation in Central London by Ecoworld and Ballymore. Our team of experts designed, manufactured and supported the install of 278 Traditional cantilever balconies fitted to A03 within the Embassy Gardens development. The project required us to create some unique balconies to bring the vision to life. Our designers worked closely with the architects at Reddy Architecture and devised bespoke balconies with traditional cantilever and our unique super balconies. Due to the unique architecture and needs of the building, we created the balconies in varying sizes, some are the unique ‘Super Balconies’ that need to be supported on Columns, weighing between 2.5T-4T each. Balconies were fitted with the highest quality fire-rated aluminium decking, along with matching fire-rated privacy screens bring additional privacy for the balconies and podium levels giving residents greater peace of mind. Balustrades were designed and fitted to delineate properties at Podium and the 10th Floor level. Providing every apartment with a spacious private balcony provided by our expert team at Alloy Fabweld. Our balconies were manufactured and tested to our high specification and quality standards, after which, our logistics team then ensured the smooth delivery of the fully assembled balconies to the site. Helping to deliver to the site on time, with a quick installation process, removing the need for storage on site. On site, the balconies were lifted and installed directly onto the Ballymore Building, reducing time and effort on site. Our approach at the Embassy Gardens Building provided benefits for the contactors - reducing time on site and cutting down on installation time to name just a few. The balconies were produced within our own factory environment, where we ensure a high level of quality control during the manufacturing and assembling process. The offsite manufacturing of the balconies helps to reduce costs of installation, increasing the quality of the balconies also reduced the duration of scaffolding on-site, resulting in a direct cost saving to the contractor.
