Structural steelwork services
Pre-contract involvement and advice.
The value of what we do is enhanced by the fact that we aim to be involved in a project at an early a stage as possible. This means that potential issues can be resolved even as early as the pre-design stage.
Measured Surveys
John Desmond Ltd offers a full on-site survey including measuring which forms the basis for assessing the steelwork requirements and the provision of initial advice on your project.
Point Cloud Surveys
As a modern-day alternative to manual measuring we provide 3D laser scanning, known as a Point Cloud Survey. This method of creating internal and external images which comprise all the critical measurements and data needed to create accurate designs and suitable steelwork structures.
