Bridges, cars, trains, balconies, power plants, turbines, even stadia, all involve elements of fabrication in their engineering. Taking steel, cutting it, machining it, folding it, and welding it in to complex forms for use in high end machinery. The modern world is manufactured from steel, aluminium and new alloys.
At Rilmac Fabrication we build everything from small steel plates, to huge underbases for the oil, gas and renewable energy industries. We also manufacture balconies, railings and other items used in modern buildings. All to a high specification and with great skill.
Rilmac Fabrication Case Study – Lincoln Tank Memorial
The Lincoln Tank Memorial was commissioned by The Lincoln Tank Memorial Group who are a small group of local people who are dedicated to putting a model of a Mark 1 tank on the Tritton Road Roundabout near the University which is close to the site of Foster’s factory where the first tank came off the production line in 1916.
The purpose of the Tank Memorial is to educate people and commemorate Lincoln’s great engineering history.
The 1.5 times lifesize model was constructed from corten steel at Rilmac Fabrications Beevor Street site, just a few hundred metres from its final resting place on Tritton Road roundabout. 15 figures were then placed around the memorial that were cut by plasma operator Ashley Tomlin of Rilmac before being powder coated in a contrasting black colour.
