Our residential division recently completed structural steel on this architectural 2 storey seaside home in Redcliffs.
Some quick information – building area = 223m2. Under a week to erect our steel. We had a 25t crane onsite and used for the main lifts and our spider crane used for the smaller lifts in the tight spots. There are 5 main portals which add up to approximately 8t of structural steel in this home.
This project was completed on the busiest road leading into Sumner and our team performed the job safely and efficiently with minimal disturbance to traffic.
Some recent and early pictures from our structural steel works at the new Earth & Sky – Observatory in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand!
At the end of this job we utilised our spider crane – perfect for getting into areas where there is no access for a crane or manitou.
We had Stunning views of the lake for the 6-8 months we were here completing the different parts of the structural steel.
We’ve been busy installing a new lift shaft to an existing building that will be converted into motel/apartments.
The lift shaft was fabricated at our Bromley workshop then delivered and assembled on site.
Once ready it was lifted into place in two lifts to create a 7 storey lift shaft.
Once completed this will eventually be enclosed including the stairway on the left of it which we are also strengthening for seismic movement.
We have also completed some structural steel in the basement to allow for a 7 story extension to be constructed above.
We are also completing the roof steel for this extension.
