Industrial projects rarely follow a standard template, and neither do the steel components they require.

While standard rolled sections meet the needs of many applications, there are times when a project demands something more specialised. In these situations, bespoke fabricated steel sections provide the flexibility needed to achieve the required structural performance, dimensions and installation requirements.

WM Codd manufactures custom rolled and ribbed steel sections to customer specifications, supporting industrial projects where standard products are not the right solution.

When Standard Sections Are Not Suitable

Every industrial project presents its own engineering challenges.

Existing plant layouts, connection details, loading requirements and available installation space can all influence the type of steel section required. Rather than adapting the project to suit an off-the-shelf product, a bespoke fabricated section can be designed and manufactured to meet the exact specification.

Typical reasons for specifying a custom steel section include:

• Non-standard dimensions
• Increased structural stiffness
• Integration with existing equipment
• Project-specific connection details
• Heavy-duty industrial applications

A bespoke solution helps ensure the finished component performs as intended while simplifying installation on site.

Fabricated to Customer Specification

At WM Codd, every custom fabrication begins with the customer’s drawings and technical requirements.

Our team manufactures heavy steel components to specification, ensuring dimensional accuracy, fabrication quality and suitability for the intended application.

Whether producing a single bespoke component or supplying fabricated steelwork as part of a larger project, the objective remains the same: deliver steelwork that is ready to perform in service.

Supporting Industrial Projects

Custom steel sections are used across a wide range of industrial sectors, including power generation, process industries, manufacturing, energy and infrastructure.

These components often form part of larger structures or specialist equipment, making accuracy and fabrication quality essential to the overall success of the project.

By working closely with customers throughout the fabrication process, WM Codd helps ensure bespoke steel components are manufactured efficiently and delivered in line with project requirements.

Why Bespoke Fabrication Adds Value

Choosing a custom fabricated steel section allows engineers to design for the application rather than compromise around standard stock sizes.

This can provide benefits including:

• Steelwork manufactured to exact project requirements
• Improved compatibility with surrounding structures
• Reduced on-site modification
• Better installation efficiency
• Greater confidence in long-term performance

For complex industrial projects, these advantages can help reduce programme risk while improving the overall quality of the finished installation.

Manufacturing Bespoke Heavy Steel Fabrications

Every bespoke fabrication presents a different challenge.

Whether the requirement is a custom rolled and ribbed section, a structural assembly or a specialist heavy steel component, WM Codd has the fabrication capability and industrial experience to manufacture steelwork to customer specifications.

If your next project requires a bespoke fabricated steel solution, our team can work with your drawings and technical requirements to deliver steelwork that fits your application and supports successful project delivery.
