Every steel item has its own requirements. Curtis, one of our site supervisors, explains how the team plans the welding process for this piece, including how to manage the shrinkage and distortion that can occur as the steel cools.

By using internal gussets and tabs, we can control that movement and work towards the best possible finish.

Let the sparks fly ⚡️

Most people drive past a finished building and never think about the steel holding it up.

There's a real craft to it though. Cutting it, shaping it, welding it up so it sits dead true and lasts for decades.

Reading a drawing and seeing the whole thing in your head before the first piece goes in.

Steel doesn't just get built. It gets made, one careful call at a time.

The art of construction.

Meet Juan, one of the Project Managers behind our Grenfell Street student accommodation project.

While the workshop gets most of the attention, there's a huge amount happening before fabrication begins. Juan's role is making sure every trade is working from the same plan, coordinating the structural steel package, and keeping the project moving before the first section is cut.

In this update, he walks through the current stage of the project and what's coming next as we prepare to move into fabrication alongside SYNERGY CONSTRUCT

One project. Ten individual sections.

Projects of this size aren't fabricated as one complete piece. Each section is built individually before coming together as the finished structure.

Every connection is engineered specifically for the job, with each weld completed to a defined procedure to achieve a seamless finish.

We'll show you where this one's heading very soon.
