Construction Metalwork
WEC Fabrication has proudly contributed to some of the UK’s most innovative construction projects, including Meads Reach Bridge in Bristol and the award-winning Pooley Bridge in the Lake District. Working with leading architects and civil engineering firms, we fabricate precision-engineered metal structures using high-strength materials such as 2205 duplex stainless steel. Our experienced teams manage complex builds from sectional assembly through to site delivery and installation, using advanced welding, lifting, and handling techniques. With over 45 years of experience in large-scale structural fabrication, we support construction projects from concept to completion with full compliance to BS/EN 1090 and CE/UKCA marking standards.
Modular Housing
We support the modular housing sector with high-quality, precision-engineered metalwork designed to meet the specific requirements of each project. Our advanced fabrication capabilities allow us to produce robust and reliable steel structures that integrate seamlessly into modular construction systems. By combining skilled craftsmanship with modern manufacturing technology, we help our customers achieve faster build times, consistent quality, and long-term durability across all modular housing projects.

Take a look at some of the standout construction metalwork projects we’ve delivered for major UK infrastructure developments.
Meads Reach Stainless Steel Footbridge
Project: Meads Reach Bridge
Location: Bristol, UK
Meads Reach Bridge Temple Quay II, Bristol The Meads Reach Bridge was a joint project between m-tec, Niall McLaughlin Architects, Cyril Swett, Gleeds, Price & Myers and Dean & Dyball for Castlemore Securities to renovate Temple QUAY II in Bristol. m-tec fabricated the 55-metre, 75-tonne stainless steel pedestrian walkway in-house from 2205 duplex stainless steel. Its construction was made from eight sections which were delivered individually to the Bristol location.
Pooley Bridge – Stainless Steel Road Bridge
Project: Pooley Bridge
Location: Lake District
In collaboration with Knights Architects, Eric Wright Civil Engineering, and Cumbria County Council, this innovative three-layer stainless steel road bridge is the first of its kind in the UK. Spanning 40 feet across the River Eamont, the structure is constructed from 110 tonnes of 2205 stainless steel and concrete. Owing to the scale of the project, the structure was fabricated in four sections and required one of the largest cranes in Britain for installation. Its construction involved approximately 13,000 hours of skilled labour, and the bridge was officially opened to the public in spring 2020.
