What The Workshop Can Actually Do
Equipment lineup, material capacity, and honest turnaround estimates — the numbers we quote against, not marketing rounding.
Machine Lineup
Every major process runs on dedicated equipment — nothing shared between mild steel and stainless, nothing bottlenecked on a single machine.

- ±0.5 mm
Fiber Laser Cutting System
Fine-tolerance sheet cutting for enclosures, brackets, and architectural profiles in mild steel and stainless.
- Cutting envelope
- 3 m x 1.5 m
- Max thickness
- 20 mm mild / 12 mm stainless
- Tolerance
- ±0.2 mm
CNC Beam Drill Line
Automated drilling, marking, and coping for structural beams and columns direct from detailing files.
- Section capacity
- Up to 900 mm depth
- Max length
- 13.5 m

Overhead Gantry Cranes
Shop-wide material handling for heavy plate, assembled frames, and finished loadout.
- Capacity
- 12 t per hook
- Coverage
- Full workshop span
Shot-Blast & Paint Booth
Surface preparation and protective coating application to primer, top-coat, or bespoke colour spec.
- Chamber size
- 12 m x 4 m x 4 m
- Standard
- Sa 2.5 blast profile
Grades & Gauges We Handle
Full grade breakdown, properties, and use cases live on the Materials Guide — this is the quick-reference version.
Mild Steel (Carbon Steel)
The workhorse of structural fabrication — strong, weldable, and cost-effective across almost every section profile.
Stainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant alloy for food-grade, hygienic, coastal, and architectural applications where mild steel would corrode.
Aluminium
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal for applications where weight reduction matters as much as strength.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel
Mild steel finished with a zinc coating for long-term corrosion protection in exposed or agricultural environments.
