Why Use Steel in Industrial Construction?

There are a number of reasons why steel is an ideal material for use in industrial construction and heavy fabrication, including:

Strength: Steel is one of the strongest materials available, making it perfect for applications where strength and durability are essential.
Versatility: Steel can be used in a wide range of applications, from small components to large structures.
Cost: Steel is a relatively cost-effective material, especially when compared to other materials such as concrete and timber.
Ease of fabrication: Steel is easy to work with, making it ideal for complex designs.

Our CNC Plasma Dual Head Cutting Machine

At HardRok Engineering in Mount Isa we are excited to introduce our new CNC Plasma Dual Head Cutting Machine to service the North West region.

This will provide a much faster turnaround in the production of cut plate for fabrication in our region, and in particular, our workshop. We see this as a huge benefit to our local area, especially during shutdowns or urgent orders.

Our decision to invest in this machine was taken after consideration of how freight problems we encountered affected the turnaround times for our clients.

We have employed a very experienced CNC Technician, who will oversee the set up and production of this machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is heavy fabrication different to metal fabrication?
Heavy fabrication generally refers to the construction of structures that are too large to be classified as light or thin-walled, such as pressure vessels, boilers, bridges, offshore platforms and ships. It also encompasses the fabrication of components for these structures. Standard metal fabrication services cover smaller, lighter structures and elements.
What materials can you work with?
We work with many different types of metals including aluminium, steel, stainless steel, and wear plate. We can cut metals of up to 150mm in thickness up to an accuracy of at least 0.2mm.
What is galvanic corrosion and how can I avoid it?
Galvanic corrosion is the process by which one metal corrodes when it comes into contact with another metal in the presence of an electrolyte, such as water.

This can be a problem in heavy fabrication as different metals often need to be used in close proximity to each other. To avoid galvanic corrosion, it's important to use metals with similar galvanic potentials or to isolate them from each other using insulation.
How accurate are your lead-time estimates?
At HardRok Engineering, we understand that our clients often have strict deadlines to meet. That's why we always endeavour to provide accurate lead-time estimates for all of our projects. We also offer a range of flexible delivery options to suit your needs.
