Secondary Steel Works

Secondary steel works provide the supporting structures that help industrial facilities operate safely and efficiently.
These elements connect with the main structure of a building to provide safe access, support plant and equipment, and enable maintenance activity.
In warehouses, food production environments and logistics facilities, well-designed secondary steelwork is an important part of day-to-day operations.
Ambrey Baker designs, fabricates and installs a wide range of secondary steel structures for industrial environments.
Our work includes staircases, access platforms, gantries, equipment support frames, walkways, handrails and bespoke brackets. These components are engineered to integrate with existing buildings or primary steel frames while maintaining structural integrity and operational safety.
Each project begins with a detailed assessment of the existing structure and the operational requirements of the facility.
Our team develops solutions that provide safe access to plant and equipment, improve maintenance access and support operational workflows. Secondary steel structures are often used to support mechanical services, refrigeration plant, conveyor systems and inspection platforms within working industrial environments.
All secondary steel works are developed with reference to the relevant structural design requirements, fabrication standards and workplace safety obligations.
Fabrication and installation are coordinated in line with current steelwork standards where applicable, while access systems are designed to provide safe and stable use in line with the relevant health and safety requirements for work at height.
With 40 years of experience working in complex industrial environments, Ambrey Baker understands the challenges of installing steel structures within live facilities. Many secondary steel installations take place around operating machinery, active production lines or temperature-controlled environments. Our teams plan works carefully to minimise disruption and maintain safe site operations throughout the project.
Clients rely on Ambrey Baker to deliver practical and durable secondary steel solutions that integrate effectively with existing buildings. From access platforms in food manufacturing facilities to equipment support structures in logistics and cold chain environments, our expertise helps ensure that every installation is safe, compliant and suited to long-term operational use.
