Billington enjoys the flexibility of two state of the art factories in the North at Barnsley and in the South near Bristol. With a combined weekly capability in excess of 500 tonnes, we are able to meet even the most demanding of programmes.
Both sites have a loyal, trained and highly skilled workforce and utilise either Peddinghaus or Ficep CNC machines that are fed with data directly from our drawing offices.
A just-in-time manufacturing process is utilised with steel being supplied from Corus Distribution in planned 'Lots'. Fittings and main shafts are assembled and painted in up to 20 tonne erectable batches that are monitored through the production process in our GODATA production control system.
Fittings are produced and marked for identification on our CNC machines.
Main shafts are produced and marked for identification and assembly on our CNC saw and drill lines or CNC coping line.
Our in-house beam straightening / cambering machines provides us with the ability to camber a wide range of sizes and types of steel section.
Painting is carried out in a purpose built controlled environment. For the majority of our assemblies, shot-blasting is carried out after fabrication, thus ensuring that all items are thoroughly cleaned, prior to the application of the paint.
