Steel is one of the most versatile and durable materials in construction — but in marine and coastal environments, it faces some of the harshest conditions possible. Salt spray, high humidity, UV exposure, and abrasion can all accelerate corrosion, reducing a structure’s strength and lifespan if not properly managed. At Hewaswater Engineering, we work extensively with clients in the marine…
When it comes to engineering, fabrication, and construction projects, location matters more than many realise. For businesses and developers across the South West, having steel processing facilities right here in Cornwall offers huge advantages — from faster turnaround times to better communication and sustainable logistics. At Hewaswater Engineering, we’ve built our reputation on combining national-level capability with local service. Here’s…
In today’s fast-moving industrial landscape, reliable, high-quality steel processing is more than just a support service, it’s a critical foundation for successful projects. From large-scale construction to mining, infrastructure, and agriculture, Cornwall’s industries demand steel that performs, lasts, and arrives on time. At Hewaswater Engineering, we’ve been meeting those needs for over 75 years, delivering precision steel processing services tailored…
Structural steel is at the heart of modern construction, strong, versatile, and essential for everything from agricultural sheds to large-scale industrial complexes. But in coastal regions like Cornwall, protecting that steel is not just a best practice – it’s a necessity. At Hewaswater Engineering, we combine precision shot blasting with high-performance paint systems to dramatically extend the life of structural…
From iconic water treatment plants to bespoke commercial builds, Cornwall’s infrastructure depends on robust, reliable materials and structural steel sits at the heart of it all. Whether it’s industrial scale or a precision-engineered custom job, quality steelwork ensures safety, longevity, and structural integrity across sectors. At Hewaswater Engineering, we’ve been delivering structural steelwork solutions in Cornwall and the South West…
We’re proud to support complex projects with precision engineered solutions. Our latest contribution involves the fabrication of heavy-duty pipe racks, each weighing approximately 3 tonnes, as part of a ship re-fit in the Netherlands. Designed for durability and efficiency, these export-ready racks are critical components in the vessel’s upgraded infrastructure. Here’s a closer look at how we delivered strength, reliability,…
