The new facility in Blackburn鈥檚 Frontier Park, which doubles Taziker鈥檚 fabrication capacity, will be used for heavy steel fabrication in support of structural steel infrastructure projects across the UK. The facility will also be home to production and manufacturing of Taziker鈥檚 FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) Legacy footbridges.

The new facility has more than 100,000 sqft fabrication capacity, with overhead cranes rated at 80 tonnes safw working load (SWL). A 40-metre long bay will be dedicated to mass production of FRP Legacy footbridges.聽 Additionally, the site accommodates a 120 x 40 metre concreted yard space, providing the capability to complete trial erections on site.

Jarrod Hulme, managing director of Taziker Structural Solutions, said: 鈥淎fter the success Taziker has had over the past three years with regards to our engineering capabilities, it is time to further expand our services so that we can offer more to our clients.聽 Having the ability to fabricate larger, heavier steelwork is imperative to our growth and success within the industry, and the new unit fits our needs perfectly.鈥

Chief executive Steve Corcoran said: 鈥淭his investment into these new premises shows our continued commitment to our engineering capability. I鈥檓 delighted that our investors are confident in our future value and are therefore continuing to provide their support in ensuring Taziker can continue to perform at a high level within the industry.鈥
