Cronin Buckley Fabrication & Construction Ltd

Workshop

Workshop & equipment

A 55,000 sq ft plant in Killumney producing more than 100 tonnes of fabricated steel a week.

Our primary workshop is served by thirteen overhead cranes of five to ten tonnes. The main lines are automated and take NC data directly from our Tekla models, which improves accuracy and reduces waste.

Fabricated steel is shotblasted before and after fabrication, then primed or given intumescent fire protection in our dedicated fireproofing paint shop.
