James Dunkerley steel products

Our huge range of universal steel columns and steel beams includes the larger sizes required in civil engineering contracts, and we also have other structural steel sections to choose from, as well as steel plates.

Some of the most common civil engineering uses of steel include:

  • Basement propping during excavation work.
  • Cofferdam framing, waling, strutting and raking.
  • King posts and H piling.
  • Facade retention.
  • Temporary access.
  • General temporary and permanent works.

As always, we also offer our other steel services, such as painting and galvanising to protect exposed surfaces, specialist paint systems for specific applications, and general light fabrication to assemble structural steel elements off-site.

Delivery of steel for civil engineering projects

Don’t worry about delivery of steel for civil engineering projects – we have a good selection of road haulage contractors who partner with us to get your steel to where you need it on time.

By working with a small number of trusted road haulage contractors, we are able to offer a range of different specialist haulage vehicles, to make sure your steel reaches your job site as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The vehicles we use include:

  • Curtain trucks suitable for pallet deliveries.

These articulated vehicles include standard and extendable trailers – so whatever the size of your civil engineering steel order, we are likely to have a vehicle capable of bringing it to you when you need it delivered.
