James Watt Dock Crane
May 21, 2025
Sometimes you have to just stop and take in the surroundings. And over the years, Cairnhill Structures has provided steel solutions on some incredible historic and heritable assets.

Our recent work on the James Watt Dock crane, built by Sir William Arrol & Co in 1917, consisted of new steelwork being measured and fitted to multiple bracings supporting the central columns. Then, renewing the crane housing, which was badly corroded, by providing extensive plate work, all carefully welded on-site.
We can undertake urgent steel repairs in the most unusual places, with complete inspection, digital surveying, supply, and installation all within our range of services.
