Heavy Structural Steel Engineering South Australia
Together We Thrive
We transform communities & our people by optimising & building structures that matter
Why Choose Us
We start by bringing together a team of experts across design, surveying, drafting, engineering, fabrication and surface treatment, logistics and erection to ask questions others don’t and find efficiencies others can’t.
Cost with certainty. By designing, fabricating, preparing and painting all our steel under one roof we have the end-to-end control to offer certainty of costs – so no expensive hold-ups, knock-on effects or mystery charges.
Our facilities and equipment are set up to handle the heaviest, largest and most complex parts of any project; and over 40 years we’ve completed some of Australia’s most notable ones, all with an industry-leading safety record.
Helping the community isn’t something many structural steel engineers boast about, but as a multi-generation family owned business, contributing to our community is part of our DNA – and it’s what sets us apart.
