Steel Portal Frame Fabricator in Hemel Hempstead
SV Steel is a steel portal frame fabricator for Hemel Hempstead and the Maylands logistics belt. We fabricate columns, rafters, haunches, bracing and secondary steel to your engineer's design, to BS EN 1090-1, Execution Class 2 (EXC2), and can erect the frame to programme.
Steel Portal Frames for Hemel Hempstead projects
The Maylands Business Park and the M1 corridor make Hemel Hempstead one of the region's busiest distribution markets, and distribution buildings are portal frames almost by definition: big clear spans, high eaves for racking and cross-docking, and a floor plate nobody wants interrupted by columns. We fabricate the primary frame with its bolted haunch connections, plus the bracing, eaves beams, purlins and side rails that make up the rest of the package.
Logistics schemes run to fixed handover dates, so frame accuracy is programme risk. We fabricate to your engineer's design under audited factory production control to Execution Class 2, then run the steel into Hemel Hempstead and Maylands from our Denham works via the M25 and M1, sequenced to the erection programme rather than tipped on site early.

Steel Portal Frames in Hemel Hempstead: common questions
- Can you fabricate a portal frame for a distribution unit in the Maylands belt?

- Do you supply the purlins, side rails and bracing as well as the frame?
- Yes. We fabricate the full frame package: columns, rafters, haunches, eaves beams, bracing, purlins and side rails, so the steel arrives as one co-ordinated set rather than as parts from different suppliers.
- How do you keep a logistics frame on programme in Hemel Hempstead?
- Accuracy at the haunch and column connections decides how quickly the frame goes up, so it is fabricated under a controlled process to Execution Class 2. Delivery runs from our Denham works via the M25 and M1, sequenced to the erection programme.
