Structural steel we fabricate

  • Bridges and walkways, such as the Cottage Creek Bridge in Newcastle
  • Mezzanines and inspection platforms
  • Stairs, walkways and flyover systems, including work on Tank Solutions' largest tank projects, designed for easy transport and installation by the on-site teams
  • Stairs, ramps and ladders for industrial, mining and manufacturing sites (see stairs, ramps and ladders)
  • Portal frame overcasts and heavy duty rated overcast assemblies for underground mines. Portal frame overcasts use a larger RHS section in the panels, so no roof or wall braces are needed (see overcasts)

Cottage Creek Bridge, Newcastle

For Robson Civil, we fabricated and installed a new 30 metre pedestrian and cycle bridge over Cottage Creek on Honeysuckle Drive. It replaced an old concrete structure and is designed to support varying types of traffic, including heavy vehicles. The project began with consultation with the project engineers and designers, to align the structure of the bridge with its architectural design. The steel was fabricated at Tomago over about four weeks and installed on site over two weeks. Delivery and installation had to fit planned road closures, so our team prepared a detailed production schedule and coordinated the closures with local authorities. Read the Cottage Creek Bridge project.

Design, fabrication and installation

We can help with the planning, design and engineering certification stages, then fabricate, transport and install the steelwork. Our products are designed to be easy to transport and install. At the time of quoting, we discuss your schedule and aim to give an estimated timeline for fabrication, transport and installation. Powder coating is available in a range of colours. We work with steel, stainless steel and alloys.
