We’re really proud to have attended the open day of the new hangar we built for @airbournecolours today at @teessideairportbusinesspark ! It’s fantastic to see the completed project filled with people before being put to use. Huge thanks to everyone who worked with us to make this a reality and delivered on time and on budget. Here’s to more successful collaborations in the future! ✈️💪 #FabricationSuccess #Teamwork #ProudBuilders #AirborneColours #SAFabrications #EngineeringExcellence

Only some finishing touches to be made to Hangar 4 at Teesside Airport before we hand over to Airbourne Colours and the official opening on the 1st October. On time and on budget, this has been S&A’s biggest project to date and the start of a great relationship with Teesside Airport. The building looked fantastic this morning in the autumn sun. @airbournecolours @teessideairport

A great team effort to get this ready for today’s opening at @brocksbushes_farm_shop - we even had Simon Pelly (S&A MD) on site yesterday getting his hands dirty! A huge thanks to everyone involved. To call it a farm shop is a disservice, it’s a huge retail space, restaurant and fantastic kids play area and well worth a visit.

S&A will be at the Great Yorkshire Show! Visit us at Stand 693.

Question: How do you get 8, 3-tonne, 8.5m high by 5m wide hangar door into place at Teesside Airport? 🤔 Answer: You use a lot of skill and two very big cranes! With expert precision, the door is shackled in the center and guided by rollers on the bottom to ensure a smooth installation. Our team at S&A Fabrications always ensures safety and accuracy in every project. Check out the process in action! #emsleycranehire #HeavyLift #EngineeringExcellence #HangarDoor #Cranes #Construction #TeessideAirport

We’re proud to share this update on our project at @brocksbushes_farm_shop the internal steel structure of the new farm shop has been meticulously coated with intumescent paint! Wondering what’s the hype about intumescent paint? Let us break it down for you: 🔥 Fire Protection: Intumescent paint works wonders in safeguarding the steel structure against fire hazards. When exposed to high temperatures during a fire, this paint expands and forms a protective layer, significantly slowing down the spread of flames and giving valuable time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. Safety is always our top priority! 🚒🔥 🏗️ Seamless Integration: Unlike bulky fireproofing materials, intumescent paint seamlessly adheres to the steel surface, maintaining the sleek aesthetics of the structure without compromising on safety. It’s like adding an invisible shield of protection! ✨ 🌟 Durability and Longevity: Our choice of intumescent paint isn’t just about immediate safety; it’s an investment in the future resilience of the farm shop. With its durable formulation, this paint ensures lasting protection, giving our clients peace of mind for years to come. 💪💼 At S&A Fabrications, we go the extra mile to ensure the safety and durability of every project we undertake. The application of intumescent paint to the internal steel structure of this farm shop is a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in construction practices. #farmshop #frambuildings #S&AFabrications #InnovativeConstruction #FireSafetyFirst

Watch the latest drone footage capturing progress on the construction of the new Farm Shop at Brocksbushes Farm, near Corbridge, Northumberland. This huge development has been managed with meticulous attention to detail by our skilled team at S&A Fabrications Ltd and this video showcases the impressive development taking shape. #BrocksbushesFarm #FarmShop #ConstructionUpdate #Northumberland #steelfabrications #DroneFootage #farmbuildings #Agriculture

The sun was shining on Friday which gave us the perfect opportunity to take some photos of our progress at Hangar 4, @teessideairport for @airbournecolours. @benhouchen

Work on Hangar 4 at @teessideairport for @airbournecolours is progressing well, with the roof now going on. You can also see in the photos, the huge doorway required for the aeroplanes and the extra opening at the top for the tail fin.

Wishing all of our customers and friends a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2024 to all of our customers and friends. We will be closed from 5pm Friday 22nd and reopen on the 2nd January.

An update photo of @brocksbushes_farm_shop which is coming along nicely with a whole load of steel erected in the last week or so, providing the main structure for the whole project #steelframebuilding #farmshop #ridba

Work is progressing well, despite the weather, on Brockbushes new Farm Shop. The true scale compared to the current shop (wooden building to the right) can only really be seen from the air...

Starting with one of our oldest buildings (look at the old logo) panning round to newer S&A buildings and our latest Roundhouse, bought 10 years after the first one. The Watson family near Eppleby in North Yorkshire have been buying S&A buildings for over 30 years.

It’s easy to take for granted some of the beautiful areas we work in. Take this agricultural barn being erected just outside of Leyburn with spectacular 360 degree views over Wensleydale and Swaledale. So good we had to send the drone up for a quick snap #lovewhereyouwork #agriculturalbuildings #farmshed

The vehicles inside this building really show off the vast scale. At 34.5m wide and 85m long, it’s one of our larger cattle buildings, recently erected for @baysleaporganic From the air you see just how big it is. #farmbuildings #cattlebuildings

We’re really excited to be lead contractor developing the brand new (huge) #farmshop for @brockbushes_farm_shop. Work is underway and should be complete by summer 2024, we’ll keep posting updates as we go…

Pop in and see us at the @greatyorkshireshow this week, Dave and Daryl are on stand 703, and they’d love to chat about your next building #greatyorkshireshow #farmbuildings

Imagine being able to run your grain handling system, almost completely free of any energy costs. That’s exactly what this customer will be able to do, having just installed 418 solar panels to their new 25m wide grain store. Teaming up once again with Teesdale Renewables, they have been able to install the panels using the edge protection and netting already in place for our team installing the roof, meaning a smooth transition of work and saving costs on the installation. The building is the third one we have erected on this site, but the first to include the solar panels. To find out more about including solar on your next build, please get in touch, or come and talk to us @cerealseventuk #farmsolar #solarenergy

If you're going to Cereals Event, pop by and say hello! We're on Stand 521, alongside our friends Tornum Ltd and Low Grange Quarry.

Getting ready for @cerealseventuk - we wanted to show off some of our work, so the guys fabricated us a section of building to bring down and share with you… #cerealsshow2023 #farmbuildings #steelfabrication

Look out Cavendish, move over Hoy, we’ve got Rob Brown! Arguably the fastest person on two wheels in our business, we’d all like to pass on our congratulations to Rob, who completed the ridiculously hard Fred Whitton challenge last week, with his friends from @teesdale_crc Rob completed the 112 mile course, with 12000ft of climbing in an official time of 7hours 44minutes, which is an improvement of nearly 30minutes on his 2018 time, despite having had a child and no sleep in those 5 years! Well done Rob, from all of us at S&A Fabrications 🙌

We often talk to customers about the benefits of adding solar panels to the roof of a new building. This grainstore we have just erected for Nostell Priory @ntnostell near Wakefield have made the most of our immense 1699m2 area of roof, to install all of these solar photo voltaic panels, completely unseen from the ground, that will provide them with green energy for many years to come.

Look who’s been spotted flying over one of our RH45’s #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #roundhousefarmbuildings #santa

Many thanks to our customer who sent us this impressive photo of their Roundhouse looking majestic against a dark autumn sky #roundhousefarmbuildings

We took a drone to fly over and through one of our Roundhouse 45's to show you some of the detail from a different perspective. The cattle were not bothered one bit by the presence of the drone and remained completely relaxed in their environment.

Two brand new factory gantry cranes arrived bright and early this morning from Spain. These will be fitted over the weekend increasing our lifting capacity and enabling us to fabricate even bigger buildings! #heavymetal #farmbuildings

On site today with a more industrial back drop than usual #teesside #transporterbridge #industrialbeauty

The benefits of Roundhouse for agriculture are well known, but after 20yrs, more businesses are realising the potential of this fantastic building…#farmbuildings #roundhousebuilding #playpark Full story on our website: www.s-and-a.co.uk/blog

New toy day! Our new [to us] Ficep saw and drill line is being unloaded ready for installation #steelfabrication

Literally a crowd in a crowd pen! Simon holding court discussing the benefits of a roundhouse to a farmtour from #beefexpo2022 @lowgrangequarry #roundhousefarmbuildings

Roundhouse 45 all tidy and ready for tomorrow’s #farmtour with the #beefexpo2022 - see you there? #roundhousefarmbuildings

Something is taking [a very familiar] shape at @matlockfarmpark #roundhousefarmbuildings

Here’s looking at you kid! The view of a very special RH45 from the roof of a RH30 #roundhousefarmbuildings #farmbuildings #fabricroof

Another grain store being erected and looking resplendent in the spring sunshine today #grainstore #farmbuildings

These complex grain store columns weigh 2.5t each and stand 12m high. Halfway through painting here the. It’s off to site #heavymetal #steelfabrication #farmbusiness

To get an idea of the scale of this recent S&A project, take a look at the FULL SIZE forklift truck. Uncountable metres of racking, standing up to 20 metres tall #steelfabrication #racking

As part of Darlington Borough Councils town centre regeneration plans, we were asked to produce some high quality, attractive and secure trellis, grills and gates for the premises on Buckton’s Yard. These were all fabricated in house by our small fab team before being sent away for galvanising and powder coating and then fitted by our team on site

We know naked pictures aren’t allowed on social media, but we just think that this naked RH45 is so stunning we had to share it. Based just outside Hull, this particular RH45 will have a block paved floor, just like it’s RH30 neighbour. #roundhousefarmbuildings #roundhouse #farmbuildings #steelframe #steelfabrication

10 years ago this spring, the very first Roundhouse 45 was erected in West Sussex. As the name suggests, the RH45 diameter spans 45metres, providing 1616 square metres of what we believe is the best animal housing available. The RH45, pictured above, houses 100 Simmental-cross cows and 200 followers and includes a central handling system and crowd pen, which is accessible by all of the seven pens that surround it. Link to FWi article: https://www.fwi.co.uk/livestock/inside-the-first-uk-45m-roundhouse

Here’s the Roundhouse 45 blending in to its surroundings on a beautiful sunny winter’s day today. A lot of thought went in to the design to make sure the building didn’t look out of place, which is why it’s revered by planners around the country. Call to find out more

Our partners in Holland know how to ‘open’ a new building! Here’s a timber roundhouse getting the full red carpet treatment. Who thinks we should start doing this with our buildings here in the UK?

Ever wondered how big a roundhouse 45 actually is? Well here you can see one sixth of a rafter length in our yard, next to a hilux to give you an idea of scale! They’re all ready to go to the galvanisers @josephashgalvanizing before going to site in Hull. Not the hilux, we’ve hidden that in the yard in a game of hide the boss’s car! 🤣

We had a great evening at the recent RIDBA awards in Manchester, bringing home two winners awards, for our Livestock Building in Lincolnshire and the Farm Shop at Mainsgill Farm on the A66. We were also shortlisted for our work at Darlington Farmers Auction Mart and our Estate bridge. The Rural and Industrial Design and Building Association (RIDBA) is the leading trade association for the modern agriculture and industrial buildings industry in the UK. #mainsgillfarmshop #livestockbuilding #darlingtonauctionmart #ridba

Some of the biggest steels we’ve ever erected. 64m spans, 20m high in a building using over 400tons of steel. The span lengths were so big we had to use Westok beams to reduce weight on the supporting structure #bigsteel #steelframedbuildings

Already looking forward to going on holiday next year? If you’re flying from Teesside, you may like to know that we fabricated and installed all of the new baggage handling area steel railings and steps #bespokesteelfabrication #teessideairport #mondaymotivation

We are proud to work with great British farms of all sizes across the UK, from our factory in Barnard Castle #farm24 #steelframedbuildings #barnardcastle

Oh deer! What’s this? It's a RH30 all loaded up ready to be erected at a venison farm in Lincolnshire next week #roundhousefarmbuildings #venisonfarm #venisonfarmers

Another busy day at S&A today, loading steel to go for galvanising with @wedgegalvanizing, with its final destination being AV Dawson in Middlesborough. The shiny green steel is for a new #grainstore at Stokesley, all we need now is the lorry to come and take it to site... #britishfarming #steelframedbuildings

As you may know, we were shortlisted for a 'Made in the North East' award, in the category of Manufacturer of the Year (under £25m), well guess what….WE WON!!! Huge thanks for all of the hard work put in by our staff here in Barnard Castle. We’re very proud of you all and appreciate all of your efforts #MadeinNE #barnardcastle

These unique fencing patterns had to be bent by hand to the client’s pattern requirement, each panel needing 4 people to lift in to place. Over 100 metres now complete and looking really impressive. #bespokeengineering #fencing #bespokefabrications

Stunning morning to be on site checking progress on these cattle buildings, just outside of Durham #sunrise #farmbuildings

Stay safe everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone. Stay safe but have fun and we look forward to seeing you in 2021

We're really proud to tell you that the S&A team has been shortlisted for a 'Made in the North East' award, in the category of Manufacturer of the Year (under £25m) #MadeinNE @insiderneast #steelframedbuildings

With a diameter of 22 meters, this is the first smaller version of the Roundhouse to be built out of wood. It has space for 60 to 80 head of beef cattle and a unique feature of this Roundhouse, other than the stunning timber structure is that it has an internal watchtower. This offers a view of all of the animals in the building. Built in Holland by our European Partners ID Agro, this Roundhouse is used as part of a farm visitor attraction. A wooden Roundhouse not only looks good, but it also has many benefits from an environmental perspective and it’s great to see how this one in Holland has been reimagined to be a real business asset for the owner, Simone, and her Cow Safaris. #environmentalbuilding #timberbuildings #farmbuildings #roundhousefarmbuildings

This is Kevin, busy today welding the rainwater harvesting legs of a Roundhouse 22, due to go to Scotland in the next week or so. Utilising the built in rainwater harvesting system, roof water can be taken to a holding tank. This water could then be used as washdown water, or by utilising a UV filter, it can be used as drinking water and can have a significant impact on utility costs. Given the recent weather, I think they will be well used! #roundhousefarmbuildings #rainwaterharvesting #ecobuilding

Here’s a banister we just completed for a customer. Our highly skilled workforce can create a range of bespoke steel fabrications for the home or workplace #bespokefabrications #bespokestaircase #interiordesign

Straw store recently completed to accompany the cattle building supplied a few years earlier for the same client. 40tn, 61m long, 24m wide, 7.6m eaves height #galvanisedsteel #steelbuildings #farmbuildings #strawstore

We don't just manufacture buildings...we recently manufactured and erected this bridge for a customer. The bridge is 24m clear span, 3m wide between handrails for light vehicle and animal crossing. The handrail sections were formed to replicate the old fashioned style cross over pattern which is common on structures from the late 1800’s/early 1900’s.

Nearly set up - hope to see some of you over the next few days at #lamma2020 #lammashow

Work underway, making some 5.3m wide loaded door panels to hold back the grain in a 10,000t grainstore. The slide hatches allow grain to come through, releasing the pressure from the panel #grainstore #farminguk #steelfabrication

‪In even the largest building, these super strong, but thin, wire ropes play an integral part of the building structure #farmbuildings #farming ‬

The excellent ventilation in our Roundhouse roof ensures a continuous updraught of air which reduces disease and creates ideal conditions for the animals #roundhousefarmbuildings #animalwelfare #farmbuildings #ukfarming

In a few months time, our new factory extension in #barnardcastle will house our state of the art Ficep beam drilling line & 2 column horizontal mitre cutting bandsaw. The angled entrance will allow artics to deliver straight to the factory floor... #steelframedbuildings #teesdale #farming
