“We do things for our customer's convenience, not ours”

- Jeremy Hawkes Managing Director

Bowhill Engineering have a proven track record, the benefits to you are enforced by the rock solid reputation that they have built over some 30+ years in business.

methodology development

With a wealth of experience, innovative staff, and state of the art software, we are well equipped to help our customers with well thought out, safe, efficient and synchronized project methodologies. This service fits well with ECI type contracts and tricky or complex tasks that need “proving” before manufacture. 3D simulation of methodologies, (As seen below) enable us to electronically trial simulate a proposed methodology of a complex nature, successfully identifying the methodology’s merit from a physical, safety and practical, standpoint and allow a good visual understanding hence informed and precise input from all stakeholders.

Special adjustable jig - Riverbank Bridge

This methodology simulation was done to prove that the cable-stayed bridge could be constructed from only one of the river banks using a mono-crane launching trolley system.

value for money

With committed staff and a highly efficient manufacturing process, we are able to produce fabrications of exceptional quality at competitive market rates. We do this by utilising the supply chain’s specialised skills and facilities through fostering great supplier networks and lean linkages. This approach is an extremely effective way of achieving an impressive result for all stake holders on a project. By minimising capital outlay we reduce expensive overheads, increase our overall capacity and benefit from a low cost structure in relation to the impressive amount of work that we can produce.

speed and accuracy

Our close linkages with drafting specialists using X Steel have allowed us to continue lean principles through drafting to processing. This results in NC format files (which are developed straight from the project model) being sent via email straight to the steel merchant for CNC processing. Accuracy and speed are huge advantages resulting from this process.
