Our state-of-the-art fabrication facility is equipped with cutting-edge machinery, enabling us to handle everything from simple beams to complex custom components.
Our skilled fabricators use techniques like cutting, bending, welding, and assembling to create parts that meet the highest standards of quality and precision. We adhere to strict quality control measures, ensuring that each piece is fabricated accurately to the specifications provided in the drafting phase.
Our commitment to excellence in fabrication results in durable, high-quality steel structures.
Commercial structural steel
Structural steel is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in the construction industry. The strength, durability and lightweight of this material makes it ideal for a variety of applications from bridges to wide-span commercial buildings.
Rotorua Steel Structures leads the way in providing industry-led structural steel solutions for a variety of commercial applications and projects. Steel fabrication is important for any project, but many commercial projects have different requirements and getting it right is crucial for success. There are many times a project calls for custom fabrication. This is where our knowledge, experience and expertise comes to the fore front.
Using tried and tested processes, we deliver high-quality steel components and the best outcomes for our clients.
Residential structural steel
Structural steel offers numerous advantages in residential construction, making it an increasingly popular choice among builders and homeowners. Its exceptional strength and durability allow it to support heavier loads than traditional materials, ensuring that homes can withstand harsh weather conditions and seismic activity. Additionally, steel provides greater design flexibility, enabling the creation of open spaces, high ceilings, and expansive windows without needing additional support. Despite its strength, steel is also lightweight, reducing the load on foundations and speeding up the construction process, leading to faster project completion. The prefabrication of steel components ensures precision during construction, reducing waste and errors.
Rotorua Steel Structures is your premier residential steel fabrication specialist. Because we have the ability to quickly fabricate custom orders, our customers turn to us to provide structural steel fabrication for their beams, columns, portals and trusses. Our expertise extends to other steel fabrication for residential application including archtectural structures, steel gates, fences and handrails.
Frequently asked questions
What is the structural steel fabrication process?
In essence, steel fabricators use various techniques such as cutting, bending, welding and assembling processes to turn basic steel sections into predefined shapes, ready to be implemented in construction. Fabricators work closely alongside steel detailers and drafters, who provide detailed drawings and designs which fabricators essentially bring to life.
What do structural steel fabricators do?
Structural steel fabricators are skilled professionals who transform raw steel into the components needed for construction projects. They begin by assessing engineering drawings and specifications to determine the exact requirements for beams, columns, and other structural elements. Handling steel relies on specialised equipment to cut and shape the steel to precise measurements, ensuring it fits the design. Fabricators also weld or bolt these pieces together, creating essential structural components like frames, trusses, and supports.
In addition to assembly, fabricators are responsible for quality control, checking measurements, inspecting welds, and testing the strength of the steel. They may also apply protective coatings, such as paint or galvanisation, to safeguard the steel against corrosion. Some fabricators work on-site during installation, ensuring that the steel components are properly aligned and secured in place. Their work is critical to ensuring that the steel structures in buildings are safe, durable, and built to last.
