Outcome Based Service Delivery for Greater Output from Your Heavy Fabrication Projects

by Patrick Duncan Marketing Manager

Heavy fabrication services in Brisbane generally entail constructing large and heavy structures. In a light fabrication job, welding is usually taken to the process, while in heavy fabrication, welding comes to work. Often, heavy structures can’t be easily moved through the fabrication shop, as cranes and fork trucks required to move these parts can cause a lot of disruption and noise. Instead, cutting, welding, grinding and painting gear is brought to the fabrication floor, which itself creates a few challenges. To contain dust and fumes created by aluminium fabrication services involving heavy fabrication, it makes sense to build temporary enclosures round the work area and bring in a portable extraction equipment. This method does add to the cost, but most reputable aluminium fabrication services dealing in heavy fabrication regularly do this,  to result in better quality work and protect the health of their workers.

Utilising specialised joining techniques

Cutting and forming of heavy structural materials takes completely different processes to those used for sheet materials and extrusions. Instead of shears and press brakes, plasma cutting is usually used for forming. Plate welds in most casesneed more attention in the preparation process. Resistance welding is not often used by heavy fabrication services in Brisbane, as this will often take too long to be a valuable joining process. To safeguard against failure, it is necessary to inspect welded joints with methods such as eddy current/mag particle or ultrasound processes. Only a specialised provider has the capabilities and skilled workforce to do all this with the right level of perfection. So, you need to ensure that the fabricator you choose for your heavy fabrication services in Brisbane, or your aluminium fabrication services, has the expertise, capabilities and equipment to do all the right things at the right time for your fabrication work, - and also get the job done within the deadline.

Proper handling and transportation of metalwork within the facility are both important for heavy fabrication work. Transportation of normal, abnormal and special order forms can also be a challenge, given the weight and height restrictions that can create road manoeuvring problems. However, a speicalised fabrication shop offering heavy fabrication services in Brisbane would usually have the right equipment and infrastructure to handle these complicated issues with ease.

Industries using heavy fabrication

Heavy manufacturers are turning to tools like asset inventory software, safety management and HVAC applications to improve efficiencies. Heavy fabrication services in Brisbane are used by a variety of businesses including power plant facilities, railroad tracks, tanks, access walkways, gantries and large scale agricultural machines. Basically, anything structural that is fabricated would be categorised as heavy fabrication.

Using advanced heavy fabrication machinery

Your heavy fabrication projects are important, and as such, you will need to find a reputable heavy metal fabrication facility that can help you with your custom fabrication requirements. It should have the right infrastructure and use best industry practices to produce quality metal equipment for you.

Brisbane Metal Products (BMP) provides state-of-the-art heavy fabrication services in Brisbane with technicians well trained in the use of advanced heavy fabrication machinery, including CNC and robotics, artificial intelligence and asset workflows. BMP works on an outcome-based service delivery model. The fabricator has capabilities to produce fabrications for any type of industry, including all standard finishing types. BMP provides end-to-end heavy fabrication services in Brisbane, including wire, stainless steel and aluminium fabrication services, engineering and design, CAD drawings, and installation by the highly trained installation team.

Infrastructure for heavy fabrication

BMP’s heavy fabrication facilities are equipped with heavy equipment and large teams of dedicated workers. BMP’s heavy fabrication shop is spread over a large area with large ductwork, heavy conveyor systems and railroad fabrications with gigantic doors to successfully complete these massive endeavours. Overhead cranes are used to move large pieces into place while rollers are used to bend and form the items that cranes lift into place. Rollers are used to provide different thicknesses and lengths of metal to be shaped for heavy fabrication work.

Lean tools to minimise wastage

BMP uses lean tools and techniques to provide you with greater throughput. Value stream mapping, process sequence charts and spaghetti diagrams are among the lean tools used by BMP that help in minimising waste containing the costs of heavy fabrication jobs undertaken by BMP. The trusted fabricator uses techniques of visual management to reduce the need for extensive scheduling. BMP’s team receives ongoing training to ensure that they are kept updated with the latest in heavy fabrication techniques, equipment, fabrication methods and standards. It is this ongoing development that has helped BMP stay on top of the fabrication and manufacturing industry in Australia.        

With over 50 years of experience in metal fabrication services, BMP is capable of providing expert service and project management to businesses around Australia. If there is a large project that would involve the use of heavy fabrication services in Brisbane or aluminium fabrication services, contact Brisbane Metal Products.
