scrap, optimum utilisation of laser cut components, improvements in production efficiency,
packaging, transportation and overall improvisation of the products life expectancy are taken
into consideration.

DESIGN & EXPERTISE
Our sales and design functions are equipped with the latest technology systems available.
Utilising both 2D and 3D CAD software, combined with communication and IT systems, we are
able to provide our customers with a rapid response to enquiries and orders. Designing with 3D
systems also allows for easy design verification prior to fabrication. We continue to invest in our
design and fabrication facilities with plant, equipment, high speed automatic laser cutting
equipment and software.

PROJECT SOLUTIONS & SUPPORT
Utilising our experienced sales teams, installation engineers and project managers we have the
experience to take your product and project requirements from initial concept right through to
commission. We welcome the opportunity to provide a complete package approach. This can
include, design consultation and specification, site survey, quotation, design verification,

Steelway offer invaluable engineering expertise and specialist fabrication experience providing
an extensive range of access metalwork solutions for the rail industry. As well as a full portfolio
of access metalwork we also design, manufacture and install many bespoke products from small
ladders or covers to large structures such as walkways, gantries and bridges.

Steelway are involved on numerous railway upgrades and rail installation projects on the rail network throughout
the UK. We design, supply, and install rail access structures including staircases, ladders, walkways, steel
platforms, handrail/guardrail systems and other station upgrades. We have invested considerably over the last
several years in design and fabrication processes including up to date 3D inventor design software and new laser
cutting technology. This coupled with our fabrication and operating systems put us at the leading edge of
fabrication excellence.

Steelway recommend involvement at the early stage of a project cycle by giving support for project costing,
design input and project presentation graphics. Value added engineering can help to reduce the cost of a project
considerably.

Recent projects include platforms for mounting signalling equipment at track side on the Bletchley upgrade
project, at Milton Keynes, and at Blackfriars station we supplied the platform canopy structures and also access
metalwork. We have replaced a number of wooden staircases and platforms with GRP fabrications to give
access to signal boxes.

All our fabrications are compliant with railway regulations. All our products can be manufactured in GRP which
being a non conductive material is particularly useful in areas around electrified lines and potentially hazardous
or corrosive areas.

invested in both the best of modern technology, together with the most diverse of traditional
trades to match our ability to provide the answer to your needs.

Steelway have an unsurpassed understanding of the numerous listed and heritage structures located across the
country, and have been involved in a wide variety of projects to either repair, extend or replicate as necessary.
Our skills in casting and fabrication (which includes replica riveted products) has seen a number of national
award winning projects carried out by us.

Work on heritage canopies includes new structures to match those existing at the grade II* listed Moor Street
Station Birmingham together with sensitive repairs and replication at Loughborough Central and total re-creation
at Kidderminster for the Severn Valley Railway.

In such cases a total package can be offered which takes on the design element, the necessary castings, glazing
and timber elements together with full installation.

The wide range of client needs has seen the recent reproduction of a cast iron station name in Somerset which is
thought to be the first instance in 120 years where such a product has been produced. Whatever your heritage

Birmingham - Moor Street Station
Steelway’s involvement in the 2002 restoration of the Grade II listed Moor
Street Station in Birmingham was to be the beginning of the creating of new
opportunities for both Steelway and for clients alike. With increasing demand
for refurbishment and in particular replica and restoration work across the
network we have the ability to replicate design concepts from drawings that
often date back to the early Victorian age.

Clearly a proven track record in engineering was part of the clients belief in
Steelway and backed up with Link-Up approval with proof were all important
parts of the equation. The client had great ambitions and wanted his derelict
site to win national accolades for the transformation that was to come. There
would be no instances where inappropriate 'off the shelf' items would be
acceptable and with the Steelway approach client’s satisfaction is paramount.
Added to all of this we were aware of the real world where the need to work
within budgets and also to a programme is essential.

The result was a national award winning restored and enhanced station fit for
the 21st century but with all the qualities of a bygone age. Our work
commenced on site almost a decade ago and our involvement in the ongoing
development there continues to this day. In the intervening years our
reputation has grown and the scope of our own activities on other historic sites
have continued to trail blaze, resulting in many more award winning projects
throughout the country.

period, we were able to determine the dimensions of its projection and recreate
the original appearance and details to a very exacting standard. The contract
included the complete re-creation which took on board the replica riveted
structure, patent glazing using glazing bars which emulated the 100 year old
designs of Henry Hope & Sons together with all necessary timber and cast iron
components. The project received part grant funding from Railway Heritage Trust.

Minehead - Railway turntable
Originally measuring 55’0’’ its home was Pwllheli in North Wales. With the
demise of steam in the 1960’s the turntable became redundant but was offered a
possible new lease of life when rescued by the then infant West Somerset Railway.
The turntable is the first GWR railway turntable to be extensively rebuilt and
additionally is the only one to have been extended since the 1930’s from its
original 55’0’’ to 65’0’’ using genuine GWR modification drawings. The railway
turntable which weighed in excess of fifty tonnes was transported in one piece
and craned into position by Steelway’s installation teams. The railway turntable
now forms the nucleus of a major visitor’s attraction based around West Somerset
Railway Station in Minehead.
