The new Ficep Valiant CNC drilling line
is said to offer over double the number of
tool changer positions than its predecessor
– Endeavour – while a 300mm extended
auxiliary axis increases the window of
operation for scribing, milling and sequential
drilling.
The addition of 14 new tool changer
positions on each of the machine’s three
spindles takes the total tool availability to
42, while the spindles themselves have been
redesigned to be all the same, allowing
for a reduction in inventory for spare part
replacement. This is said to offer steelwork
contractors productivity gains and simplified
maintenance.
Mark Jones, MD of Ficep UK said: “We’re
a company known for our commitment to
R&D, devoting 5% of our annual profits into
developing steel fabrication machines that
work effectively for the modern steelwork
contractor and Valiant is a perfect example of
what this research can achieve.
“It takes elements of our leading
Endeavour and adds practical, useful
improvements that will benefit steelwork
contractors in terms of machining potential,
productivity and cost efficiencies. We do
believe this heralds a new era in drilling
equipment for the steel fabrication industry.”
Structural steelwork is now under way on
the 100 Embankment commercial scheme
in Salford.
The second of two adjacent office
blocks, 100 will offer 15,500m2 of
BREEAM ‘Excellent’ office space over ninestoreys.
Working on behalf of BAM
Construction, Elland Steel Structures is
fabricating, supplying and erecting 1,800t
of steel for the project.
Both office blocks sit above a three-level
steel-framed car park that infills a
Victorian masonry podium which once
supported Exchange Station that closed
down in 1969.
Commenting on the scheme, Salford
City Mayor, Paul Dennett said: “100
Embankment is a physical demonstration
of the commercial development and
investment in Salford.
“Once complete this iconic pair of
buildings will provide a new corporate
centre bringing more jobs and revenue to
the local economy.”

Kloeckner Metals UK is said to be the first
UK stockholder and distributer to obtain
the ISO 45001:2018 standard with Steel
Construction Certification Scheme (SCCS).
ISO 45001:2018 is the new international
standard for Occupational Health &
Safety Management Systems (OHSMS),
which this year replaced OHSAS 18001.
The standard sets out requirements
for companies who wish to create and
maintain a safe and healthy environment.
Kloeckner Metals UK said it has
been preparing for the transition since
first being aware of the new standard.
The company said greater emphasis
on top management leadership, better
understanding of risks and company
stakeholders, in combination with
enhanced health & safety management
systems, will allow it to continue to deliver
quality products and services in a safe and
sustainable manner.
Peter Whiting Kloeckner Metals UK
CEO said: “Health & Safety is paramount
to Kloeckner and we are very proud to be
the first stockholder and distributer with
SCCS to conform to ISO 45001.
“The new standard reflects our
commitment to providing a safe and
healthy environment across the business.
It is furthermore a testament to our
team who are continuously working hard
to improve health and safety practices
and well-being across our sites, which
in return improves our overall business
performance.”
The SCCS is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the British Constructional Steelwork
Association. It was established in the early
1980s to provide quality management
certification for steelwork contracting
organisations.
SCCS now offers a wide range of
certification and monitoring services
for the structural steelwork sector,
including integrated or separate UKAS
accredited Quality management systems,
Environmental and Health & Safety
management systems, Factory Production
Control systems and selected National
Highways Sector Schemes.
