How Fussey Engineering Is Helping Reduce Flood Risk In The Future

It’s been horrible to see so many stories of flooding in the news recently. The unprecedented rainfall we’ve seen over the past few weeks and months has been disastrous.

It’s why having strong flood defence systems in place is extremely important. And it’s no wonder there are numerous projects already underway around the [...]

Why It’s Critically Important To Use The Right End Connection On All Structural Steel Projects

It’s so important to be aware of any factor that might affect the load-bearing ability of a steel structure. In previous articles we’ve looked at how galvanisation can help strengthen steel… Why intumescent paint slows fire risk… And what effect edge drilling can have on steel. But something we’ve not looked at is the critical importance of connecting different pieces of steel together. It’s why we wanted to take some time today to cover the basics of what’s known as ‘end connections’. So, whether you’re [...]

The Galvanising Process And How It Helps Protect Structural Steel

What exactly does it mean to ‘galvanise’ steel? And, more importantly, why should you? Quite simply: It’s about protecting steel against corrosion. You see galvanised steel is more resistant to corrosion and rust. And when we say more resistant, we’re talking by a number of years. Decades even. This long-lasting protection is crucial, especially when it comes to structural steel. When you’re erecting warehouses, constructing factories or designing offshore platforms that must stand for decades to come… It’s important the structural steel you’re using in the construction [...]

What Is Intumescent Paint And When Should You Apply It To Your Steel?

Intumescent refers to a substance that swells as a result to being exposed to heat. When heat is applied to the substance, its density will decrease and it’s volume will increase. In other words – it gets bigger. It’s the same for intumescent paint. When the paint is exposed to heat it will expand and thicken. In fact, it can swell to 50 times the original thickness of the paint. This is extremely useful in helping to protect steel structures. As the paint is exposed [...]
