Boat cradles support vessels safely ashore and in storage. PRV fabricates cradles to suit hull shapes and weights. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
Aluminium fabrication at PRV covers framework, gates, enclosures, access platforms, cradles and bespoke assemblies. Aluminium needs a different touch from steel, from cutting and forming to welding and distortion control, and PRV has the skills and kit to handle it. Large aluminium plates and structures can also be machined on the Takumi H22S high speed machining centre, so fabricated and machined features come from the same supplier.
Aluminium is lighter than steel, doesn't rust and machines quickly, but it needs specialist welding skills and careful heat control. Distortion, porosity and cracking are common faults in the wrong hands. Using an experienced aluminium fabricator with machining capability under the same roof gets you an accurate, sound part first time.
PRV serves a broad spread of industries including defence, medium to high voltage switchgear, rail, high performance automotive, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, aerospace, actuation, power generation, mechanical handling and valves. Whatever the sector, the standard is the same.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to delivery.
Quality sits at the top of the agenda, with a zero tolerance policy on rejects. Work is completed under BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 1090 EXC3, and PRV also holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. With every major process in-house, problems are caught early and fixed fast.
