Steelway was involved in refurbishing and replicating a listed corrugated pagoda in Buckinghamshire that had been damaged by fire. They restored or recreated all wasted steelwork, replaced the door with a faithful replica, and reclad the unit with authentic materials. Steelway also created a steel facade beam for Bordersly Viaduct that replicated an original structure's riveted details to satisfy planning authorities, and delivered and installed it. Steelway specializes in authentic restoration and replication of historic steel structures.
