We can fabricate and supply a variety of lengths, widths and thicknesses
Steel capping beams can be added to the top of permanent sheet pile walls, both as a finishing feature to improve
aesthetics, and to provide a flat surface covering the pile line, protecting against sharp edges. They typically span the entire length of the wall, following the contour of a pile line, and are securely connected to the top of the sheet piles.
This connection is generally achieved through welding and/or bolting, ensuring a rigid and continuous connection along the entire length of the wall.
As with sheet piles, capping beams can be painted to protect against corrosion and further improve aesthetics following completion of works.
Steel Capping beams made bespoke to your order
Our capping beams are fabricated in Ivor King’s workshops from a high quality grade of mild steel plate, folded to your specifications.
We can manufacture and supply steel capping beams in various lengths, widths and thicknesses, which can be made to order based on your design requirements.
Fabrication is carried out by skilled operatives to meet quality and integrity standards. Capping beams are inspected to check straightness and dimensional accuracy are in tolerance before leaving site.
We deliver direct to your site
We can also arrange direct delivery of your steel capping beams, using our own fleet of FORS Silver accredited Euro VI emissions compliant lorries and specialist trailers.
Key advantages & Benefits of steel capping beams
Steel capping beams are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, weathering, and decay. They can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures
Can be customised to meet specific project requirements – they can be designed and fabricated in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different structural layouts
Steel capping beams are prefabricated off-site and supplied ready for fitting, which significantly speeds up the construction process
Low maintenance requirements of steel capping beams reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements, resulting in cost savings over the life cycle of the structure.
Steel capping beams can be used in a wide range of applications and in combination with various construction materials
Steel is a recyclable material, and using steel capping beams promotes sustainability in construction. At the end of a structure’s life cycle, steel components can be recycled and reused, reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources.
