Machining of large fabrications lets welded frames and bases be finished accurately after welding. PRV fabricates and machines under one roof, so there's no transport between suppliers. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
Large work is handled on two dedicated machines. The Takumi H22S high speed machining centre offers X 2200mm, Y 1650mm and Z 800mm for aluminium plates and structures. The Kao-Ming KMC-3000SVH 5 face machining centre, with high torque for steel, offers X 3230mm, Y 1950mm and Z 775mm. Five face access means big parts are machined on most sides in a single clamping, keeping datums true across the whole component.
Big parts bring big headaches if the machine is too small. Multiple set ups, re-fixturing and part flipping all add error and cost. Large format machines take the whole part in one go, keep datums true and cut lead times. Ask any supplier for their actual table size and travels before you place large work, because not every shop that says large means it.
Construction projects need fabricators who deliver on time, hold the right accreditations and can work safely on site. PRV supports main contractors and developers with certified steelwork and installation.
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.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
