You can work with us during any stage from concept to installation to get exactly what you want. Such steps include:

Developing ideas

Estimating

Engineering

Design and modelling

Compliance

Fabrication detailing

We use 3D computer modelling to optimise design and simplify foundation and portal construction. Fine detailing and specification during design also eliminates panel and assembly errors, tightly controlling costs.

"...your collaborative approach has ensured we were able to highlight most issues before they arose and immediately address any that eventuated." Engineering changes for PrimePort's new No2 Wharf were also highlighted to "...help improve the constructability of the entire structure. ...allowed us build the wharf safer & quicker without impacting quality or budget." - Joel Mclean - Project Manager - Downer
