Reinforcement, Formwork & Concrete — One Experienced Delivery Team
FAB supports main contractors with specialist reinforced-concrete packages across the United Kingdom. Engage us for a defined labour or reinforcement scope, a supply-and-place package, or coordinated delivery of the complete works.
Our directly employed, fully certified teams work across civil, infrastructure, water, industrial, marine, commercial and residential projects.
Package Options
Labour-Only
Experienced, directly managed operatives for reinforcement, formwork and concrete works within the client's wider procurement and supply arrangements.
Supply & Place
A coordinated package combining the required materials with experienced site installation and delivery.
Full Reinforced-Concrete Package
Integrated reinforcement, formwork and concrete works under one specialist contractor, with a clear scope and a single delivery team.
Reinforcement-Only
Dedicated steel-fixing resources for projects that require specialist reinforcement capability within a wider concrete package.
Steel Reinforcement
We deliver reinforcement works for structures ranging from foundations and slabs to major infrastructure, water-retaining structures and complex industrial bases.
At the HS2 M42 junction, a dedicated FAB team of 12 steel fixers delivered a 1,250-tonne reinforcement-only package to major structures. At Shotton Papermill, our wider package included 3,000 tonnes of reinforcement.

Formwork Systems
Our teams deliver formwork for structural concrete works across a broad range of geometries and site conditions. From conventional bases, walls and slabs to circular and water-retaining structures, the focus remains on buildability, coordination and achieving the required concrete form.
At Harthill Reservoir, FAB delivered 1,926 square metres of formwork as part of a labour-only package to the primary spillway. Our Shotton Papermill works included complex systems for circular clarifiers, tank bases and slabs.

Concrete Placement & Finishing
We coordinate concrete placement and finishing as a standalone scope or as part of a complete reinforced-concrete package. Our portfolio includes large industrial pours, water and marine structures, slabs, bases, walls and complex civil works.
Across the portfolio, FAB has placed more than 28,000 cubic metres of concrete. This includes more than 12,000 cubic metres on the Rhyl Sea Defence Scheme and 15,000 cubic metres at Shotton Papermill.
Discuss Concrete WorksExperience includes:
- Structural bases and slabs
- Ground-bearing slabs
- Foundations and ground beams
- Retaining walls
- Lift pits
- Tank bases and clarifiers
- Reservoir and spillway works
- Sea walls and coastal structures
- Concrete works to major infrastructure
Complete Reinforced-Concrete Packages
Where a project benefits from one specialist contractor, FAB can combine reinforcement, formwork and concrete into a coordinated package.
Recent and completed full-package experience includes industrial facilities, youth and community buildings, police facilities and other commercial works. Our portfolio also includes supply-and-place delivery at Port Sunlight and the Hitachi Facility in Bolton.
Price a Full PackageBringing the disciplines together helps create:
- One clearly defined package scope
- Coordinated labour and site sequencing
- Clear commercial and delivery responsibility
- Better communication between activities
- Practical input on buildability before mobilisation
Water-Retaining Structures
FAB has specialist experience across water and industrial-water projects.
Harthill Reservoir demonstrates our ability to deliver a defined labour-only package, while Shotton Papermill shows the scale and complexity we can manage through a combined reinforcement, formwork and concrete scope.
Talk to Our Water-Sector TeamIncluding:
- Reservoirs and primary spillways
- Circular clarifiers
- Tank bases
- Reinforced slabs
- Retaining walls and bases
- Associated reinforcement, formwork and concrete works
Marine and sea-defence experience includes:

- Reinforcement and concrete works in coastal settings
Marine & Sea-Defence Works
Coastal schemes demand robust planning, good coordination and teams that can perform in exposed working environments.
On the Rhyl Sea Defence Scheme, FAB contributed to the Western Section through a package covering 965 tonnes of reinforcement, more than 12,000 cubic metres of concrete and 1.5 km of crest beam and wall.

How We Work
Engage Early
Involve FAB when drawings and bills of quantities are being reviewed. Early visibility helps us understand the package and highlight questions before they reach site.
Define the Scope
We clarify the works, responsibilities, interfaces and preferred delivery route so that the commercial offer matches the project requirement.
Plan for Buildability
Our site experience informs practical conversations around sequence, access, labour and delivery constraints.
Mobilise the Right Team
We deploy directly managed, fully certified operatives suited to the agreed scope and programme.
Deliver with Clear Communication
Our commercial and construction teams remain accessible throughout the package, supporting coordination with the wider project team.
Information to Send for Pricing
