Support/clamps

These supports are used to attach subcomponents such as J-tubes, boat landings and railings to the transition piece.

Description of Manufacturing Process
Typically drilled or milled to ensure precise interface accuracy and accommodate bolted connections with tight dimensional tolerances

Description of Supply Chain
Typically fabricated by the transition piece fabricator (Smulders, Bladt industries) or by specialised secondary steel fabrication companies (Kersten, Hutchinson engineering) contracted specifically for such components

Scottish Opportunity
Relevance to Scottish Supply Chain: High

These smaller components can be manufactured locally in Scottish factories. They can easily be transported to be integrated to transition pieces, whether these are fabricated in the UK or in other European countries
