Meatrack Trolley Project with Scorpio Engineering

The trolleys, called "Meatracks" are large movable racks that can hold up 120kg of heavy items. This project was constructed by Scorpio Engineering and steel was chosen to be the materials as aluminum is too weak.
Wheels had to be purchased, we bought Japanese originals. These wheels are huge, larger than my hand because they have to take the weight
Mr Chia drew out the diagram on the floor, fabricating a frame is not easy, you have to get everything exactly right or else it will not fit. We used angles, pipes, hollow sections, meshes and plates all customised cut and fitted.

Base frame, all fabricated by Mr Chia, getting ready to assemble the supportive frame. Some grinding had to be done to smooth all sides down
Use of clamps to secure the sides
More than one index finger thick, thats how strong the frame is. Plus it's all made out of steel.
Mr Chia getting ready to weld the sides together
The exterior frame is ready, time to put the mesh expanded metal in.
Base plate for the wheels, drilled holes for the screws. Painted original army green, looks really good
Load it up, ready to go
Two reducers on top so that other meatracks can be stacked on top to save space

Expanded metal, painted green as well

Wayland Smith Lorry Ladder Project

One of the trucks we have needed a way for workers to safely reach the truck bed, which is around 1.7 meters in height

Although these ladders are not uncommon, to make one was harder than envisioned. For this project, Mr Chia from Scorpio Engineering was roped in for help. You can see the ladder below already

A metal smith's tools above. Measuring tape, wood, welding tools and mask
Here you see Mr Chia who has already measured and cut out the rebars. The rebars was chosen instead of normal flat surfaced metal pieces because they had grooves in it, which allowed the work boots the workers wear to get better traction. Safety is a big concern
The ladder was welded together, although it looks simple enough, welding 2 pieces of rod to 2 pieces of angle bars. It is definitely not as easy as it seems. Getting the angles right, the 4 pieces of metal to fit perfectly takes more than proper measurement. You sometimes have to pound the metal into submission and it's correct shape. Here, Mr Chia is using a heavy sledgehammer to pound the angle sides into the steps after a welding session
He latter attached the ladder onto the truck. Here we can see he used a lot of arc welding to melt the electrodes to attach the small but heavy ladder onto the the truck frame

Here we see the end product. A metal ladder around 4-5 kg attach to the frame of the truck bed, supporting my weight while I climb up. The ladder had to be slim because there were space constraints as well as fears that a ladder too big and heavy would not be feasible, but the end product is both functional and safe to use.

Corten Mural Project Part 3 Completion

Finally our Corten Mural art piece is complete. Designed by Juan Peck Foon, Cut to specification by Mr Chia from Scorpio Engineering and Fitted on Frame by E-Firm Trading and commissioned by a local house owner in Singapore. Absolutely stunning.
The color is amazing, Wayland Smith Projects was in charge of the rusting and we managed to get a beautiful bright color
Notice that the frame sits beautifully against the wall. No gap at all, a testament to the skill of the Designer and the contractor he used
Notice the color contrast, this mural will continue to change color daily for the next couple of years
This art piece brings nature into the owner's home and is unique. The one and only of its kind in the world. Wayland Smith is proud to be part of this project.

White Tentage Fabrication

A local customer needed an outdoors tentage / canopy that could be easily erected and dismantled when it was not needed. It is a simple design with 4 main legs (detachable) and a roof frame on top that the white canvas could stretch out on.

It was a big frame, big enough to hold vip or even park a car underneath it

Scorpio Engineering was in charge of fabricating the frame and making sure it looked pretty and rust free by powder coating it

Above we can see the main frame, hollow sections all across the frame to make sure it is strong and it will not warp over time
First, we had to make sure the frame was easily assembled and dismantled and that means the frame had to be split into two, and easily assembled using standards nuts and bolts
Frame can be separated into two for easy storage, you can see the welding work on top, still not a pretty exterior at this time

The frame was bent into a nice round shape on top, using a combination of square hollow sections and strengthened with stiffeners, this roof frame will be solid and able to hold the weight of the heavy canvas
The sides have mild steel plate stiffeners. Safety is always our concern. This frame is waiting to be picked up for powder coating
Last detail of where we fabricated the two detachable sides. Note that it is one smooth piece without any distortion between the left and right piece.

Next we had to chemical wash out the frame, powder coat it to make it nice and white


No ugly dent marks or welding mistakes. No "pock holes" after powder coating. Scorpio has really done another excellent fabrication job
We delivered the frame to the customer, and they did an inspection and assembled the parts. After they were satisfied, they kept it in an indoors location.

Corten Mural Project Part 2

The Mural was left to rust, and this is the product just after 4 days. Soon it will be ready to be installed

Cassia Project Corten Cladding

Wall Cladding 6mm thickness, Avant Steel Ltd provided the plates, the designer chose to use a normal 2.5mm thickness mild steel plate as a bracket for the 6mm wall cladding Fabricated by New Con Builders, this plate was cut into many pieces in different width
These are just the initial samples, soon an entire wall will be clad with corten plate

beautiful deep red color of corten plate

Binjai Corten Columns Project

Commissioned by an English Architect, these 16 columns were erected using Corten Plates 3mm from KIAN BEE HOLDINGS PTE LTD, private contractor fabricated these simple 4 sided columns for a private house in Binjai
The contractor did a few mistakes, he bent the plate the wrong way and markings of the product can still be seen on the outside
the rust is still settling in, over time, it will become a deep brown color
welding mistakes, poor workmanship on this column, contrast of silver weld and brown corten
the rust is slowly settling in, the color will change daily over years

The Corten Mural Project Part 1

Designed by the local designer Juan Peck Foon, we have started to fabricate a metal mural for a private house in Singapore, Wayland Smith Projects with Scorpio Engineering Services will be the ones fabricating this incredible Corten mural / art / design project.

We got a tight deadline but I think we are going to make it. Cut, Rust and Install !



First, we took the smaller thickness 3mm Kian Bee Holdings Pte Ltd's Corten Plate which was cut from a coil and sent it in to be cut and sheared


But the thicker Corten Plate, 6mm from Avant Steel Ltd was too big to be transported or cut, so we had to lay it out, cut it with a gas cutter



Measure it up, we have to get the dimensions exactly right or else it would not look that great. This 6mm plate is really long. Here, Mr Chia is laying out the track and measuring up.

Finally, after 2 hours, its over! We had to spend a lot of time getting the flame right, making the track straight and other mechanical problems to overcome


End of Part 1

Wayland Smith Goalpost H Beam Structure for Lifting

Wayland Smith Beam Project

Scorpio Engineering Services is the engineering company who has manufactured the below metal artifact. The below "goalpost" structure as Mr Chia, owner of Scorpio playfully calls it is actually a Lifting Beam with Column Support , meaning its a structure used to lower and raise heavy objects. This Beam will be fixed onto a 2nd Basement which will operate and lower and raise objects 3rd Basement. This beam is being used for a theatre in Singapore



The height is 3m and the H Beam used is a 8 x 8. Seperated into 3 major parts, 2 legs and 1 across, Mr Chia has manufactured a solid structure. The weight of just one leg is around 200+kg. The whole construct should be close to 600kg.
We can see the gussat made from diagonal brace connecting the across beam to the leg, that was custom made by Mr Chia from a Square Hollow Section and he fabricated the small flat platforms at the side as to secure the beams
Note the corners, Mr Chia made sure that all corners are not sharp so the installation process will not be affected by any potential cuts or injury. Also note how the 2 beams are secured by the nuts and bolts perfectly with no gap. A really solid workmanship show piece.

The above beam (Top Across Beam) is actually 2 beams, Mr Chia cut 2 pieces of Beam and joined them together with an interlocking pattern to make sure that it is strong. Note the high welding skill level. This beam is solid and able to do job of holding heavy and large objects without a problem

Smooth Exterior Coating Corten Products

These fabricated Corten Products are done by a Singaporean Fabricator Corten Specialist named Mr Michael Sheam and his company Newport. Plates provided by Kian Bee Holdings Pte Ltd. The surfaces are smooth, they have been coated with a chemical and will not rust any further, the coating used is a special blend by Mr Michael Sheam himself.
Note: Amazing fabrication by Mr Sheam, no sign of welding at all. Perfect bending angles.

Corten Plant Box Facade at Coffee Club

The planter boxes were fabricated about 6 years ago, Corten Plate 16mm thickness provided by Kian Bee Holdings Pte Ltd, fabricated by independent contractor. Location: Orchard Fountain Corner, 323 Orchard Road, Outside Cali Fitness.

Note: The planter box has a brick wall within, and the plates are simply the facade, the joints are not v-welded or bent to 90 degrees probably because it was too thick.
Note: Rusting below the water level but the surface is still perfect
Note: No sign of color rusting stains at the bottom. Corten will not stain or destroy the tiles below.

Wall Cladding Corten Singapore

Steel sold by Kian Bee Holdings Pte Ltd, designed by the owner, attached by a contractor.

Amazing changes in colors every day as the weather resistant steel controls the rate of rusting on the surface without eating into the metal. Iron and steel both rust with air and water but normal steel just looks terrible compared to the bright colors of Corten.

Corten Steel Original to Surface Rust in 7 days

Our sample flower pot facade was fabricated by Mr Chia from Scorpio Engineering Services. Bent on 4 points, the facade was cut, bent and the sides were smoothed over. There are no sharp points at all along the sides, testament to the skill of Mr Chia.

Thickness - 3mm thickness
