Steel Building Projects: September Highlights

September has been a busy and exciting month here at Robinsons, with progress across multiple steel building projects, team milestones, and community initiatives. Here’s a closer look at what we’ve been up to.

Progress on Major Steel Building Projects

This month, our team has been hard at work delivering on some impressive builds:

• Jans Vans, Isle of Skye – nearing completion next week
• WR Healthcare, Dumfries – expected to finish by the end of the month
• Tilbury Douglas, Brooksby College – internal works are underway, with completion expected mid-October

Closer to home, our Thornhill agri project is progressing well. Designed to mirror a previous build, it measures an impressive 200’ x 82’, with hot-dip galvanised steelwork for maximum durability.

We’ve also secured some exciting new projects: two substation builds for RJ McLeod (SPEN) and a local project at Kersia, set to begin next year.

Celebrating Our Team

At Robinsons, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we celebrated some incredible team milestones:

• Geoff – 15 years as a Tekla Draughtsman
• Kevin – 10 years’ service as Concrete Division Supervisor
• Harry – successfully completed his HNC in Construction Management
• Hannah – beginning her final year at university

Our skilled and dedicated team ensures every steel building project we deliver is completed to the highest standard.

Behind the Scenes

Ever wondered how we maintain precision on every project? Our automated Cut & Drill Line ensures steel beams are cut and drilled with incredible accuracy, streamlining production and reducing errors.

Community & Wellbeing

September also gave us the chance to give back to our community:

• Macmillan Coffee Morning – raising funds and enjoying some delicious home baking
• Lockerbie Academy visits – pupils toured our HQ, learned about steel building projects, and even got hands-on with activities

We also recognised World Suicide Prevention Day, highlighting the importance of mental health in the farming community.

With three UK farming deaths by suicide per week, male farm workers three times more likely to die than the national average, and only 1 in 4 feeling able to approach a colleague, open conversations and support are vital.
