Introduction

Steel fabrication plays a vital role in many industries around the world.

Consider different types of building such as skyscrapers, warehouses or residential buildings for instance- almost all of their construction depends on structural steel, which is produced through steel fabrication.

Steel fabrication creates a wide range of parts and products for a variety of industries. It’s an integral part of most successful businesses, which is why it is vital to find and work with experienced and qualified industrial steel fabricators to create bespoke, structurally sound steel fabrications that are perfect for your business.

Stainless steel fabricators in Auckland: Expertise and Applications

Stainless steel fabrication is a complex process that requires specialised skills and expert knowledge.

The fabrication of stainless steel is used heavily by many industries around the world, including architecture and construction, food processing and pharmaceuticals and transportation.

This is because stainless steel has a wide range of unique properties that makes it perfectly suited for certain industries.

One of the most well-known characteristics of stainless steel is its strong resistance to corrosion.

Since its invention more than a hundred years ago, stainless steel has been popular due to its resistance to corrosion from industrial acids and alkaline solutions. It is also highly resistant in high saline environments, such as those by the sea.

In addition to corrosion, stainless steel is also highly resistant to fire and heat. It is able to retain its shape in extreme temperatures, making it more effective than other materials like aluminium and galvanised steel.

Stainless steel is also popular for its appearance. Many products, such as handrails and kitchen equipment, utilise fabricated stainless steel to provide an elegant, modern appearance. It can also work well with most other materials and styles, making it a popular choice for architects and designers. It is also easy to clean, making it a good choice for environments with high hygienic requirements such as hospitals and kitchens.

Finally, stainless steel is a highly sustainable material. In its original form, it is 100% recyclable so can easily be repurposed if it ceases to serve its original function. At a time when more people are considering environmentally sustainable solutions, stainless steel remains an excellent choice for products and buildings alike.

Structural steel fabricators in Auckland: Building the backbone of structures

From skyscrapers to the frames of your car, Structural steel fabricators are essential in creating the framework for many buildings and structures in Auckland.

Structural steel fabrication is a complex process that involves numerous stages. Due to the complex nature of structural steel fabrication, it is essential that those involved possess the knowledge and skill needed to ensure safety and stability.

Steel fabricators make use of numerous tools and advanced technology during the fabrication process. Commonly used tools include saws, press brakes to bend the steel and welding machines which heat the steel. Once cooled, various parts can be attached to each other.

A key part of structural steel fabrication is Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, which are automated machines that can create complex shapes and carry out repetitive tasks accurately. Precision and quality control are important parts of the steel fabrication process, so these machines are extremely useful.

Structural steel fabrication begins with a concept phase, where computer-aided design drawings create designs with detailed specifications and calculations. Global Engineering uses sophisticated 3d modelling software to produce highly detailed manufacturing specifications.

Once the design is finalised, the steel is cut using CNC machines before being bent into shape using press brakes. This allows straight rigid shapes and curved edges to be used and prevents the steel from breaking. It is then manufactured, which can involve anything from trimming excess metal to drilling holes in the steel to creating specific shapes on the steel. Once the manufacturing process is complete, the steel is welded, cooled and attached together.

After quality checking and finishing (which adds an extra layer of protection), the structure is then assembled, delivered and installed for the client.

Industrial steel fabricators: meeting diverse needs

Industrial steel fabricators create steel components for a number of diverse needs.

Steel can be fabricated for many different industrial applications. Common uses of fabricated steel include heavy machinery and manufacturing equipment as well as storage tanks and pipelines and material handling systems.

Steel is heavily favoured by many industries thanks to its high quality, flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness. It allows for the creation of bespoke, structurally sound products that meet the client’s needs exactly. 

From simple designs for households and vehicles to even the most complex and demanding designs, highly qualified industrial steel fabricators create countless unique designs suitable for a huge number of industries.
