Structural and architectural steel
Structural steel may usually be recognised as shed frames.
But this can also be for pergolas, gazebos, shade houses and carports.
The design of these structures can incorporate square, rectangular, oval and round steel section as well as I-beam, T beam and other profiles of fabricated steel.
The geometry or the steelwork can include simple curves, complex curves, bends, and multi angle mitre frames.
​
Fabrication
​
Metal fabrication incorporates cutting, bending, shaping ( incl rolling) and welding metals to make the desired end result.
These functions can be performed on various metals so as to provide the best outcome for long term reliability.
Welding can be with mild steel, aluminium, silicon bronze, stainless steel and cast iron.
Repairs and upgrades
Over time equipment can fatigue and wear out, project requirements can change and capacity needs to increase.
Older plant may need upgrading or replacing to meet the demands of new systems and procedures.
These modifications can be performed on road registered vehicles as well as off-road and property vehicles and implements.
Special welding
When most people think of welding it usually involves mild steel filler wire.
We can use a variety of welding wires depending on the best result needed.
These can include but are not limited to mild steel ,silicon bronze, stainless steel, hard facing and cast iron.
These can be chosen for strength, corrosion resistance and longevity of the finished product.
