DAT Metal Fabrication is Al Taher's steel and metal fabrication division, operating from our Al Hail Industrial Area workshop in Fujairah. Structural steel, frames and canopies, sheet metal work, safety bollards, metal fencing and one-off architectural metalwork — cut, welded, finished and powder-coated in-house, then installed by our own team. Free site visit within 48 hours; itemised quotation within 24 hours.
How we work
- Free site visit within 48 hours. We measure the actual opening or structure — no guessing from photographs.
- Itemised quotation within 24 hours of that visit. Materials, finish, hardware and installation priced line by line.
- Fabrication in our own Fujairah workshop. Metal, aluminium, glass, joinery and powder coating in-house — no subcontracting.
- Installation by our own team, with committed dates written into the quotation.
What do we fabricate?
- Structural steel — frames, mezzanines, canopies and supports, fabricated to drawings.
- Sheet metal fabrication — enclosures, panels, covers and custom formed components.
- Safety bollards and steel bollards — fixed and removable, for car parks, forecourts and loading areas.
- Metal fencing and fence panels — perimeter fencing, powder-coated to match gates and railings.
- Architectural metalwork — screens, feature panels and bespoke pieces in steel and aluminium.
- Stainless steel stair handrails and structural balustrade frames.
- In-house powder coating — the finishing step most fabricators outsource.
Do you work with contractors?
Yes — trade work is a large part of the fabrication division. We quote from drawings, work to a main contractor's programme, and handle our own site measurement and installation. For interior fit-out firms in particular, metal, aluminium and glass are the trades usually missing in-house, so we function as that part of the package rather than as a competitor on the joinery side.
Where do we deliver fabrication work?
Across Fujairah and into Sharjah, Ajman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. Fujairah and Sharjah together account for the bulk of our 600+ completed projects since 1984. Contractors comparing steel fabrication companies in Sharjah or Ajman generally come to us for the same reason homeowners do — fabrication, coating and installation stay under one roof, so quality is controlled from raw steel through to handover.

What about finishing?
Powder coating is done on our own line, which matters more on the East Coast than most people expect. Salt-laden air finds every weakness in a coating, and outsourced finishing is where control is usually lost. Powder coating vs painting →
A note on capability, honestly stated
We do not own laser-cutting or CAD equipment in-house — we work with specialist partners for laser-cut components when a design calls for them, and detailed drawings are prepared for approval before fabrication. Everything else — cutting, forming, welding, finishing, powder coating and installation — happens in our own workshop. How to vet a metal works contractor →

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take on trade and contractor work?
Yes. We quote from drawings, work to main contractor programmes, and handle site measurement and installation ourselves. Interior fit-out firms commonly use us for the metal, aluminium and glass scope they do not fabricate in-house.
Do you fabricate safety bollards and metal fencing?
Yes — fixed and removable bollards for car parks, forecourts and loading bays, and perimeter fencing and fence panels powder-coated to match adjacent gates and railings.
Can you fabricate structural steel to our drawings?
Yes. Send the drawings and we will quote from them; we confirm dimensions on site before fabrication begins so what is built matches what is actually there.
Do you have in-house laser cutting?
No — and we would rather say so. We work with specialist laser-cutting partners when a design requires it, so laser-cut designs are available; the cutting, forming, welding, finishing and powder coating are all done in our own workshop.
Do you serve contractors outside Fujairah?
Yes — Sharjah, Ajman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. Fujairah and Sharjah account for the bulk of our project history.
