Quality and engineering standards are at the heart of the next chapter of the Antigua Slipway Marine Railway.
Pictured here is structural steel supplied by Barrett Steel Ltd, currently being fabricated to our railway design by Helston Fabrications Ltd in Cornwall, UK.
The new railway system is being designed in accordance with British Standard BS 6349-3 – Maritime Works: Code of Practice for the Design of Shipyards and Sea Locks, with welding procedures specified to BS EN ISO 15614 standards.
Once fabrication is complete, the steel will receive the specified marine protective coating system, with smaller components blasted and coated by Kermick Metal Finishers (KMF).
From design and material selection through fabrication, welding and protective coatings, we are working with established UK specialists to ensure the new railway is built to recognised international standards for a demanding marine environment.
Built properly. Built to standard. Built for the future of Antigua Slipway.
