Heavy Fabrication & Custom Engineered Steel Solutions
Custom steelwork and fabrication packages sized for real site constraints.
AKEN, a brand of A K ENGINEERING, produces custom steel fabrication and on-site installation for industrial modifications — supports, brackets, housings, access structures and small-to-mid fabrication packages required during execution. This is the work that keeps a project moving when the requirement is defined on site rather than in the original drawing set.
AKEN is a brand of A K ENGINEERING · Base: Hirakud, Sambalpur, Odisha · Execution across Odisha and pan-India
Fabrication that fits the actual requirement
Not every requirement arrives as a complete drawing set. Site changes, interface gaps and expansion works often need steelwork defined quickly and fabricated to suit an existing structure — accurately enough that it can be installed without another round of modification.
AKEN fabricates and installs custom steelwork including supports, brackets, housings and access structures, along with heavier fabrication packages such as mezzanine floors, platforms, walkways and ladders.
Fabrication and installation sit with the same team, so the item that is fabricated is the item that is installed. That removes one interface from the process and reduces the chance of a mismatch between shop output and site condition.
Why AKEN for custom and heavy fabrication
Fabrication and installation together
One team fabricates and installs, so the item delivered is the item that fits the site condition.
Suited to site reality
Work is defined against actual interfaces and available space rather than an idealised drawing condition.
Small packages are welcome
Short, urgent fabrication items that keep a project or shutdown moving are part of the normal scope.
One point of responsibility
Fabrication changes during execution are handled with the same team that is on site, reducing closure time.
Scope of work
Scope is confirmed against your drawings, BOQ and site conditions before work is released.
- Custom steel fabrication for industrial modifications
- Supports, brackets and housings for equipment and structures
- Mezzanine floor fabrication for storage and process use
- Steel platforms, walkways, ladders and handrails
- Industrial equipment support structures
- On-site installation of fabricated items
How custom fabrication is handled
Custom items are defined by the actual site requirement. The steps below describe how those requirements are converted into installed steelwork.
Requirement capture on site
The actual interface, available space, loading expectation and access conditions are established before fabrication is released.
Fabrication drawing or sketch confirmation
The item is confirmed in a form the fabrication team can build to, with critical dimensions agreed against the existing structure.
Fabrication of the custom item
The item is fabricated with fit-up and dimensional checks against those confirmed dimensions.
On-site installation
The fabricated item is installed by the same team, with alignment adjusted to the actual condition found on site.
Finishing and completion review
Finishing, connections and access details are completed and reviewed before release.
Where custom fabrication is used
- Plant modifications and site-driven changes
- Manufacturing units and process areas
- Cement plants and power plants
- Mining installations and material handling
- Warehouse mezzanine and storage structures
Typical work categories
Scope follows the site requirement and your specification. The items below describe the categories of work involved rather than a fixed specification.

- On-site installation and connection work
Project experience
Verified AKEN project case studies for this service are being prepared. Project photographs, verified scope and verified outcomes will be published here as projects are completed and documentation is approved for release.
Until then, we publish nothing about a project that has not been verified. You are welcome to request references relevant to your scope during technical discussion.

Frequently asked questions
Practical questions from procurement, plant and project teams. If your question is not answered here, our engineering team can review your scope directly.
Do you take on small fabrication jobs?
Yes. Supports, brackets, housings and other short fabrication items are part of the scope, including items required quickly during an ongoing project or shutdown.
Can you fabricate directly from a site measurement?
Yes, where the requirement is confirmed in a form that can be built to. Critical dimensions are agreed against the existing structure before fabrication is released.
Do you install what you fabricate?
Yes. On-site installation of the fabricated items is carried out by the same team, with alignment adjusted to the actual site condition.
Can you fabricate mezzanine floors?
Mezzanine floor fabrication for storage and process use is part of the scope, along with the platforms and access steelwork that support it.
What should be shared for a custom fabrication quote?
Sketches, site photographs or measurements, the intended use and loading expectation, the material and finish requirement, and the installation location and access conditions.
