Riverside and Port Clarence
The Riverside estates carry Middlesbrough's heavier industrial units on long-worked ground, where piled foundations and crane-ready frames are standard. We detail bases to the as-built pile layout.
Industrial Steel Buildings in Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough carries Teesside's industrial core, from the Riverside estates to the steelworks-legacy ground at South Bank, where frames go up on remediated brownfield. We design, fabricate to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 at our South Yorkshire workshop and install industrial steel buildings across the Tees with our own directly employed teams.

Accredited for design, fabrication and installation, with the paperwork to prove it.
- BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2, UKCA marked: the execution class your engineer's design legally has to be fabricated to.
- Coded welders, BS EN ISO 9606: every structural weld made by an approval-tested welder, traceable on the documentation.
- ISO 9001 quality management: a quality system audited end to end, not a badge on a footer.
- CHAS Elite, SafeContractor & ConstructionLine Gold: the pre-qualification pack your procurement team lifts straight into a PQQ.
- GBP 10m public and GBP 10m employers liability: published figures, because your procurement team needs them on file.
- Directly employed, CSCS-carded site teams: the people on your site are ours, not subcontracted, so one team owns the result.

Common questions
FAQs
Yes. We design in-house, fabricate at our South Yorkshire workshop and install across Middlesbrough, Stockton and the Tees with our own directly employed teams, delivering on our own transport.
Yes. Much of the riverside carries remediated industrial ground, so foundations follow the remediation record, usually piled, and we detail column bases to the as-built layout before steel is released.
Yes. Our directly employed teams hold CHAS Elite and SafeContractor and work to permit systems, inductions and shutdown windows. We sequence deliveries and erection around the site's own operations.
Yes. Where the building carries cranes, plant loads or conveyor steel we design the frame to those loads from the first calculation, fabricating to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 throughout.
BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 with UKCA marking, coded welders to BS EN ISO 9606, ISO 9001, CHAS Elite, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine Gold, with GBP 10m public and employers liability cover.
Footprint, eaves height and use, the site postcode, target dates, any crane or plant loads, and whether you need installation as well as the frame. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
