Billington have long been engaged in a broad spectrum of the structural steel marketplace adjusting production and specification to meet the constantly changing demands of a varied and ever changing market.
Our initial workloads consisted of mining structures for the local mining operations in the Yorkshire coalfields. From our base in Wombwell Billington began to operate in the construction industry supplying portal frame buildings and bespoke structures. It was only a matter of time before structural steelwork became the leading product and Billington's portfolio became vast and without limit other than programme and schedules based on our weekly production rates.
Billington now supply Structures into the Industrial, Commercial, Retail, Residential, leisure, Infrastructure and Defence sections of the market place, in fact Billington will supply to many areas outside the usual sectors of the market, some that cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality agreements.
Since our entry into construction we have supplied some weird and wonderful projects to the market:
- Retail Centres, so big the staff wore roller skates - Tesco Store Peterborough
- Distribution Centres, the largest covered space in Europe - Ikea Doncaster
- Airport Terminals at Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool and Doncaster where working air side has become second nature to Billington
- An indoor, real snow Ski Slope at Castleford for the Xscape Leisure centre
- A steel frame for hoisting Henry the 8th's Flagship Mary Rose from the bottom of the Solent
- Steel rigs supplying materials from the river onto the second Severn crossing
- Passenger Travellator Tubes at Manchester Airport
- The Magna Project consisting of Earth, Air, Fire and Water Structures winner of the 2001 Specialist Contractor of the year Award for Billington
