A blast from the past
November 1st 2006

Steel fabricator Billington Structures, is set to double output at its Bristol factory after employing surface preparation specialist Wheelabrator Group to relocate a shot blast machine it supplied and installed 20 years ago.

Billington wanted to increase production capacity by revising its factory layout, to accommodate extra craneage and materials handing equipment. Relocating the Wheelabrator machine will enable the company to increase output to over 300 pieces of steel a day.

The project was carried out by the employees who installed the machine originally. Now called Wheelabrator Plus, this is the company's aftermarket support and service division.

Roger Hale, at Billington Structures, said: "They could remember the machine being installed,so were familiar with its configuration and knew how to dismantle, move and rebuild it so we knew we were in safe hands."
