Innovating At The Forefront Of The Fabrication Industry

Following the acquisition of Francis Brown in 2024 and Whiteley Read in 2018, Glacier Energy operates out of two manufacturing facilities in Rotherham and Stockton-On-Tees, both of which are well-equipped, with the space, machinery and lifting equipment needed to build both large or complex fabrications for our growing customer base in carbon steel and non-ferrous materials.

In particular, the acquisition of Francis Brown has brought with it a wealth of structural fabrication expertise and a well-established track record of supporting customers across a variety of sectors.

Structural Fabrications

A Collaborative Approach

We believe it’s our unique approach that makes us an excellent partner. Every aspect of the design process is collaborative, with our teams working together to find cost-effective solutions to specific challenges. Following this, we enter an iterative prototyping process for any items that haven't been built before; working through various refinements to deliver a design tailored to your needs.

We are a fast-track manufacturer skilled at managing changing work scopes, bringing years of experience in handling the challenges typical of pioneering engineering projects.

Additionally, we can provide detailed build methodologies whenever it's practical, ensuring that the final outcome is a success for everyone involved.

Agent

This week we completed the installation of shaft casings manufactured by yourselves.
I would like to send our thanks for all of the efforts put in by you and your team in contributing to this success. Two of the lead drillers informed me that these were the best quality casings they had ever used. Given that they’ve sank hundreds of shafts between them, I think that is a real achievement.
Please pass on our thanks to the team and I look forward to working together again in the future

Compliance By Design

Complying with industry standards is central to everything we do. With years of experience working in the industry, we understand that every part of the fabrication process must be in full accordance with the most stringent industry guidelines.

We are accredited to BS EN ISO 3834 & BSEN 1090 Execution Class 3 and regularly manufacture bespoke ‘build to print’ fabrications in accordance with various well-recognised industry standard codes.

Glacier Energy has also achieved Fit for Hydrogen (F4H2) and Fit For Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (F4CCUS) status. These accreditations are part of the Fit 4 model of supply chain development acts as a strong testament of our capability.

A Detail-Oriented Approach

At Glacier Energy, our experts can provide added value by adopting a proactive, front-end manufacturing approach to all structural and modular fabrication projects. We prioritise understanding the application of the end product, ensuring we deliver on our customer’s specific requirements.

In a design and build scenario, this collaboration naturally occurs with interface between our design and manufacturing teams. When building from existing prints, we leverage the expertise of our in-house engineering teams and modelling software to evaluate weld accessibility and critical dimensions.

This approach allows us to identify potential issues early in the process, develop comprehensive build methodologies, and provide our shop floor with enhanced, detailed drawings to ensure efficient and precise manufacturing.

Our experienced team brings a wealth of knowledge from thousands of hours spent on large-scale and complex fabrication projects. This expertise is further reinforced by our extensive library of qualified weld procedures, covering a broad range of materials, thicknesses, and configurations, all compliant with multiple industry codes and standards.

Our experienced project managers bring technical acumen and deep-rooted industry heritage, ensuring seamless execution at every stage. This robust design process enables us to deploy our brightest minds to oversee each structural fabrication work scope, ensuring excellence across a diverse range of challenging sectors and projects.

Additionally, if required, Glacier Energy can provide build-to-print solutions based on drawings provided by our customers. We can ensure that each component is manufactured to exact specifications, adhering to the highest standards of quality and reliability.
