- Custom Fabrication:
Tri Tech remains a custom fabrication shop with the ability to manufacture to customer specifications beyond our customizable systems offered such as: Ornamental materials in brass, bronze, nickel-silver or aluminum-bronze. With railings incorporating lamb’s tongues, scrolls, volutes, baluster posts or spindles, and Glass Rails with button stand-offs, the design choices are endless. A wide variety of infills are also available to meet design intent and local code requirements. They can be made to suit with commercially available material such as wire mesh, perforated metal, solid panels, specialized framing or gratings, custom water/laser cut designs and even hand fabricated patterns with tube and bars. We use techniques to minimize visible welds in a rail design, and utilize moulded extrusions or various "snap together" designs which also helps to reduce the cost of labor.
- Aluminum Ladders:
Whether the need is for access to elevator pits, paper mills, catwalks, or roof access, Tri Tech can fabricate ship’s ladders (ship’s stair), ladders and ladders with cages to conform with all OSHA requirements.
- Bollards and Site Amenities:
Tri Tech fabricates bollards to suit a variety of architectural, security or even landscape needs. Whether designed from pipe or custom fabricated from stainless steel, We can build to your specifications.
- Custom Louvers and Sunscreen:
An aesthetic enhancement to any building design, louvers and sunscreens can also help to reduce cooling costs or serve to conceal building elements where necessary.
