At InClad Steel Buildings, quality and compliance are built into every stage of our process — from initial design and structural engineering through to manufacturing, delivery and installation.
We manufacture cold-rolled structural steel building systems from our facility in Newcastle upon Tyne, supplying projects throughout the UK.
Our manufacturing, quality-control and installation procedures are supported by recognised certification, documented processes and appropriately trained personnel.
InClad manufactures applicable structural steel components under a certified Factory Production Control system to BS EN 1090-1.
Factory Production Control provides a documented system for controlling the manufacture of structural components, including material identification, production procedures, inspection, traceability and conformity of the finished product.
Certification details
Applicable structural components manufactured by InClad are assessed and marked in accordance with the relevant construction-product requirements for the market in which they are supplied.
This is supported by our Factory Production Control system and the appropriate conformity documentation.
Where applicable, project documentation can include
Our steel buildings are individually designed around the requirements of the project rather than supplied as a one-size-fits-all structure.
Depending on the project scope, engineering can take account of
Structural calculations and engineering documentation can be supplied where included within the quotation and project specification.
Our aim is simple: the frame supplied should match the engineering requirements of the actual building and its location.
A significant proportion of an InClad building is manufactured directly by us. This gives us greater control over quality, fit, specification and lead times.
Our manufacturing capability includes structural frame components, purlins, rails, cleats, connection components, flashings and other building-specific items.
Components are manufactured from specified materials and produced to approved drawings and manufacturing requirements before being prepared for delivery and erection.
Where welded structural components form part of the building system, fabrication is completed using controlled procedures and suitably competent personnel in accordance with the requirements applicable to our certified manufacturing system.
Relevant welding qualifications, procedures and supporting documentation are maintained as required by the scope of our certification.
Our manufacturing process includes checks throughout production to help ensure that the components leaving our facility correspond with the approved project specification.
Depending on the component and project, controls can include
This allows us to maintain greater control over the complete steel-building package rather than relying solely on bought-in components from multiple suppliers.
Safety is an essential part of both our manufacturing and site-installation operations.
Our installation teams work to project-specific risk assessments and method statements, with appropriate access, lifting and working-at-height procedures selected for each project.
Relevant personnel hold role-specific training and qualifications appropriate to the work being undertaken. These can include:
Qualifications vary by role and project requirements.
Copies of current certificates can be made available to clients and principal contractors upon request.
InClad maintains appropriate business and contractor insurance for our operations.
Current cover
Current insurance certificates are available to clients and contractors upon request.
Depending on the agreed project scope, an InClad building package can be supported by documentation including:
The exact documentation supplied is confirmed within each project’s quotation and specification.
Price is important, but customers should also understand who manufactured the frame, how it was designed, what standards apply and what documentation supports it.
By combining engineering, controlled manufacturing and installation within one specialist steel-building business, InClad can provide clients with a clear route from initial concept through to completed structure.
If you are a contractor, architect, engineer or commercial client and require certificates for tender or pre-construction approval, contact our team and we can provide the relevant current documentation.
