Metal Base Plates — Custom Fabrication in UAE

We fabricate structural column base plates, post base plates for fences and gates, handrail floor flanges and wall flanges, bollard base plates, machine and equipment mounting plates, signage base plates, solar panel mounting plates, antenna and telecom tower base plates, and custom base plates to any specification. All products can include welded stiffeners, gussets, spigots, and other attachments as required.

We cut base plates from Mild Steel (A36/S275/Q235) for structural and general use, Stainless Steel (304 and 316) for corrosion resistance in marine, food, and architectural applications, Aluminum (5052/6061/6063) for lightweight and non-magnetic applications, and Galvanized Steel for outdoor durability at lower cost than stainless. Material choice depends on the application, environment, and budget.

We fabricate base plates from 50×50mm up to 600×600mm and beyond. Thicknesses range from 3mm for decorative applications up to 50mm for heavy structural columns. Square, rectangular, circular, triangular, and custom shapes are all possible. Bolt hole patterns are laser cut with ±0.01mm accuracy in any configuration.

A structural column base plate is a thick steel plate welded to the bottom of a steel column that transfers axial loads, shear forces, and bending moments to the concrete foundation below via holding-down anchor bolts. Thickness ranges from 12mm to 50mm depending on loads and is designed by structural engineers to AISC 360, Eurocode 3 (EN 1993), or BS 5950 standards. We fabricate column base plates to engineer-approved shop drawings.

A base plate is a general term for any flat metal plate used as a foundation. A floor flange is a specific type designed for handrail and balustrade systems — it has a central socket accepting a round pipe or tube post, with bolt holes for surface mounting. Floor flanges come in round and square profiles, typically 6–12mm thick. Wall flanges mount to vertical surfaces. We manufacture both types in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Yes, all bolt holes are laser cut during the plate cutting process with ±0.01mm accuracy — 50 times more precise than manual drilling. We cut standard patterns (2-hole, 4-hole, 6-hole, 8-hole) and custom patterns to match your anchor bolt layout. Slotted holes for alignment adjustment are also available. No separate drilling operation is needed.

Available finishes include raw/mill finish, red oxide primer, hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for 20–50 year outdoor protection, powder coating in any RAL color for architectural use, and specialized finishes for stainless steel (brushed No.4 or mirror polish) and aluminum (anodized or powder coated). HDG is most popular in UAE for outdoor and coastal applications.

Pricing depends on material, size, thickness, bolt holes, surface finish, welded attachments, and quantity. As a local manufacturer, our setup costs are minimal which makes even small orders economical. Bulk orders receive significant discounts. Contact us on WhatsApp at 056 686 4001 with your drawing or specifications for a quote within hours.

No minimum order quantity. We accept single prototype pieces, small batches for fit-out contractors, and production runs of thousands for structural steel fabricators and construction companies. The digital nature of laser cutting means the same program cuts one plate or ten thousand with identical precision and minimal setup cost.

Standard orders are completed in 3–5 working days. Rush orders for simple laser-cut plates can be processed in 24–48 hours. Large production runs or orders requiring galvanizing may take 7–14 working days. We deliver throughout all seven UAE Emirates and pickup from our RAK facility is also available.

Yes, we produce complete base plate assemblies including welded stiffener ribs, gusset plates, shear keys, spigot tubes, and column stub sections. Our robotic welding ensures consistent quality on production runs, while certified manual welders handle complex one-off assemblies. Third-party weld inspection is available for structural and critical applications.

We accept DXF (preferred), DWG, PDF with dimensions, AI (Adobe Illustrator), and hand sketches with clear measurements. For structural work, we use engineer-stamped shop drawings. If you have only a rough idea, our team can create the fabrication drawing for you. Send files via WhatsApp or email for fastest response.

Load capacity depends on plate size, thickness, material grade, bolt configuration, and concrete bearing strength. A typical 200×200×12mm A36 plate with four M16 anchors supports 50–100 kN. Heavier column plates of 400×400×25mm or larger handle hundreds of kilonewtons. Actual capacity must be calculated by a qualified structural engineer for your specific application.

Yes, we manufacture round floor flanges (for 42.4mm and 48.3mm pipes), square base plates for SHS/RHS posts, wall flanges, adjustable angle flanges for staircases, and spigot plates for glass balustrade systems. Available in mild steel, stainless steel 304 (interior), and stainless steel 316 (exterior/marine). All include precision laser-cut bolt holes.

Metal base plates serve construction (column plates, handrail flanges), oil and gas (equipment mounting, structural steelwork), marine (SS 316 bollards and fittings), solar energy (panel mounting), signage (post foundations), infrastructure (bollards, guardrails, light poles), interior fit-out (balustrades, partitions), industrial manufacturing (machine mounts), and telecom (tower foundations). Virtually every building and engineering project in the UAE uses some type of metal base plate.
