Steel structures and rebar, made to measure

Structural steelwork, cut and bent rebar, profiles and lattice pylons. From the design calculation to the final bolt on site, we handle the whole chain — engineering, workshop, erection.

How we work

From the calculation to the tightened bolt

On site, time is rarely lost in execution. It is lost at the interfaces — between whoever designed, whoever fabricated and whoever erects. We do all three.

01

Engineering

Load take-off, RPS 2011 seismic verification, design calculations to Eurocode 3. Nothing reaches the workshop before it has been calculated.

02

Drawings

General arrangement and shop drawings, bill of materials, piece marking. This is what makes erection fast.

03

Workshop

Cutting, drilling, assembly, welding, dimensional inspection, then the protective treatment suited to the site's exposure.

04

Site

Lifting, bolting, alignment, handover. Our own teams erect what our workshop fabricated.

Standards

The rules that govern your structure

In Morocco every structure must be checked against RPS 2011, the seismic construction regulation. It is a legal requirement, not an option: it drives the bracing, the connections and often the final tonnage.

The Eurocodes govern the design, EN 1090 the execution, and the Moroccan NM standards the reinforcing steel.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of Morocco do you cover?
The whole country, from our base in Casablanca. Greater Casablanca, Rabat, Mohammedia, Berrechid and Settat routinely; Tangier, Marrakesh and Agadir depending on the nature and size of the job.
Do you carry out the design and the calculations?
Yes. Every structure starts from a load take-off and a design calculation report, to Eurocode 3 for the steelwork and RPS 2011 for the seismic check, before shop drawings are produced.
How long does a steel structure take?
It depends on tonnage, connection complexity and the protective treatment chosen. Hot dip galvanising adds a subcontracted stage that has to be built into the programme. We commit to a firm lead time at quotation, once drawings are approved.
Do you deliver cut and bent rebar to site?
Yes. Bars are cut, bent and tagged in our workshop to your reinforcement drawings, then delivered in labelled bundles by element. Your teams fix and tie — nothing is cut on site.
