When sourcing welding and fabrication services, buyers are often presented with terms such as ISO 3834, WPS, PQR and WPQ. For those outside of day-to-day welding operations, these likely don’t make much sense! These letters refer to documents and standards that exist for a very practical reason: to ensure that welding is carried out in a controlled, repeatable, and compliant way

For buyers, engineers, maintenance managers and product designers, the real challenge is often not the fabrication itself, but managing several suppliers at once. When one company cuts the parts, another folds them, and a third handles welding or finishing, every handover creates room for delays, tolerance issues and blurred accountability – not with Burnhouse Engineering

Flatbed laser cutting is a precision cutting process is where a CNC – computer numerical controlled laser is controlled by a computer using programmed instruction – usually a CAD/CAM file – so it can cut, drill, or shape materials accurately, consistently, and repeatably with minimal manual input.

Carbon steel is one of the most widely used materials in engineering and fabrication. At its simplest, it is an alloy of iron and carbon, with the carbon content typically up to around 2%. While small amounts of other elements, such as manganese or silicon, may be present, these are generally at much lower levels than those found in alloy steels.
