- Do you provide on-site jacking/stressing equipment?
Yes, Daver Steels can provide jacking/stressing equipment please contact us for more information.
- Are your products CE-marked?
Yes, we are CE marked to execution class 4 (EXC4) which means we can supply load-bearing elements for fatigue-loaded structures and we are independently audited.
- Do you have a European Technical Assessment (ETA)?
No, Daver Steels feels the scope of an ETA does not cover many of our applications, for instance, ETAs generally only allow use for predominantly static loads and do not cover situations where the product will undergo any fatigue/dynamic loading which would exclude us from CE marking any products that would be used on bridges or using bespoke engineering solutions for example.
