Engineering projects: built by us, running today
A selection of bespoke stainless-steel fabrication and installations, delivered on live food & beverage production sites. Each case study below sets out the problem, what Ultra Engineering Services Ltd built and the outcome for the site.
Stainless mezzanine and access platform
The problem: a food production site needed safe, practical access to equipment at height, along with usable space above the production floor. The existing layout left operators and maintenance staff without a good way to reach the plant, and any solution had to suit a hygienic, wash-down environment.
What we built: a bespoke stainless steel mezzanine and access platform with a staircase, designed around the existing conveyor and equipment. The structure was fabricated to fit the space, then installed on the live site with work planned around production.
The outcome: the site gained safe access to its equipment and a stainless structure suited to its hygiene regime, integrated with the conveyor line beneath it.
Hygienic process pipework run
The problem: a production line required a new process pipework run that would carry product reliably and stand up to hygienic cleaning. Routing had to work around existing plant.
What we built: a polished stainless steel process pipework run, precision-bent and clamped, with the route planned to suit the plant layout and the way the line is cleaned.
The outcome: a clean, leak-tight pipework installation designed for hygienic production and straightforward maintenance.
Access staircase and platform
The problem: on a packaging line, staff needed safe access up to equipment, but floor space around the line was limited.
What we built: a bespoke stainless steel access staircase and platform, designed to fit the available footprint and installed around the running line.
The outcome: safer, easier access for operators and maintenance teams, with a compact structure that suits the packaging area.
Modular-belt conveyor system
The problem: a food production line needed to move product between processes along a route that a straight, standard conveyor could not follow.
What we built: a modular-belt curved conveyor system, manufactured to suit the product and the line layout, then installed and integrated with the existing equipment.
The outcome: product moves smoothly along the required route, using a conveyor built around the process rather than a compromise.
Machine access walkway
The problem: maintenance and operating staff needed safe access over a slicing line, without obstructing the machine or the people working around it.
What we built: a stainless steel machine access walkway spanning the slicing line, fabricated to suit the machine and installed on site.
The outcome: a safe, permanent route over the line, making routine access and planned maintenance easier.
How we approach every project
Behind each of these case studies is the same process. We start by visiting the site and understanding the problem from the point of view of the people who will use the finished equipment every day. We then design a bespoke solution, agree it with the client and build it in-house, testing and fit-checking as we go.
Installation is planned around production, with method statements and isolations agreed in advance and work areas left clean and ready for production to resume. After handover, the same team remains available for planned maintenance and 24/7 emergency call-out support, so the equipment keeps performing for years to come.
What these projects have in common
Each of these jobs was designed around a specific site and a specific problem, fabricated by our own time-served engineers and installed on a live production site. That combination — bespoke design, in-house build and careful installation — is how we approach every project, whether it is a single walkway or a multi-discipline line change. Many more examples of our fabrication, pipework, machinery and installation work can be seen in the gallery on our homepage.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Were these projects carried out on live sites?
Yes. These projects were delivered on live food and beverage production sites, with work planned around production.
Do you design the projects yourselves?
Yes. Each structure or system was designed around the site, then fabricated and installed by our own team.
Can you build something similar for our site?
Every project is bespoke, so we design around your space and process. Get in touch with a description, photos or drawings.
What materials do you use?
These projects were built in stainless steel to suit food production. We also fabricate in mild steel where it is the right choice.
Do you work outside Norfolk?
Yes. We are based in King's Lynn and deliver projects across Norfolk, East Anglia and the United Kingdom.
