      Ohh great questions.

      Electrical cabling, electronics, ‘fancy’ pc controllers, cameras, RADAR, detection systems, technology systems but then we deal with bridges, structures, roads, ponds!, city centres and everything in between!

      I often work with injection moulded polymers (plastics) like glass filled nylon. I also work on machined aluminium and aluminium tube forms sometimes and on cast iron for a particular project. The bike frame is made from steel.

      Mostly reinforced concrete and steel in every possible shape and some really enormous sizes. Also soil of all types, clay, bricks, wood and anything else you might dig out of the ground. Things we don’t want to rust we do in stainless steel which is more expensive, and I’ve recently had to incorporate some structural acoustic bearings in my building which are made out of rubber.
