Stop the presses, drop the structural steel, and grab the champagne—Laddingford Engineering has officially tripped, stumbled, and dragged itself into the modern digital age. That’s right, we now have a Facebook and an Instagram account. For years, we operated under the wild assumption that people would simply admire our 12kW fiber laser cutting and 220-tonne press brake work via telepathy, carrier pigeon, or by physically walking into the workshop to stare at us while we hold a cup of tea. Apparently, that is not how modern marketing works. So, what can you expect from our new social media channels? Endless videos of heavy plate being sliced like butter. More sparks than a dodgy extension lead. The occasional photobomb from the workshop dogs. Proof that we own smartphones and actually know how to use them. We promise to keep the corporate speak to an absolute minimum and the heavy metal content to a maximum. Head over, give us a follow, and witness firsthand what happens when heavy engineering meets Wi-Fi. Facebook Youtube Instagram

At Laddingford Engineering we use Advance Steel which is specifically designed for structural engineers and steel detailers who require professional and easy-to-use BIM structural steel detailing software that automates the production of drawings, BOMs and NC files. Advance Steel drastically increases productivity and drawing quality, while reducing the risk of errors.  Advance Steel is part of the GRAITEC structural BIM solution. Advance Steel accelerates the design phase (single or multi-user mode) by offering an extensive library of smart objects, automatic joints and specific tools for creating standard structures, stairs, railing and miscellaneous steelwork. . Advance Steel automatically generates all workshop and general arrangement drawings using intelligent tools to automatically control dimensions and labels as well as all required. Advance Steel is part of the GRAITEC structural BIM solution, automating the entire structural design process, from engineering design to detailing and fabrication. We have a dedicated draughtsman Tony Munn, whom started with the company on 12-09-1994 in the workshop, and in 2009 made the transition to draughtsman taking over from David Finn whom is now the managing director. Tony brings with him hands on job knowledge from the workshop fabrication to implement into the 3D design and fabrication drawing aspect.

One of my long standing employees Graham of 38 years retired, but has come back 2-3 days a week part time, we wish Graham all the very best in his retirement.
