Providing Precise and Quality Workmanship in Heavy Fabrication Services With Customer Service

by Patrick Duncan Marketing Manager

Heavy fabrication services in Brisbane are used by various industries such as power plant facilities, railroads, salt mines, the marine, aviation, and HVAC industries, and large production factories.

Sheet metal fabrication work often starts with a stock metal component (sheet), metal rods, bars and billets to create a new product. Complex custom builds or very large projects involving sheet metal fabrication and heavy fabrication services in Brisbane can take more time to deliver as there are more parts to machine, or create and join before creating the final product. These extra steps have a profound effect on the project’s completion time. However, if heavy fabrication services in Brisbane uses advanced machinery such as robotics, and CNC machines, has skilled technicians and all facilities and raw material to complete the whole project within the fabrication shop, complex projects can be completed reasonably quickly, and still with a high level of precision. 

Advantages of galvanised steel

Galvanised steel is incredibly strong and is considered one of the most reliable materials for use in heavy fabrication projects. Steel is galvanised using a hot dip process, where a coat of zinc is applied to the outside of the steel. Once the zinc has cured, the steel is then sealed and becomes safe from exposure to the elements. Galvanised steel is relatively cost-efficient as other materials tend to be more expensive and take longer to manufacture. It can be easily customised with painting or a powder-coating by heavy fabrication services in Brisbane to fit in with your brand’s colour scheme.

Machinery and tools used in heavy fabrication

Oxy-fuel torches are used in sheet metal fabrication to weld or cut components of structural steel. A magnetic drill is often used by heavy fabrication services in Brisbane to drill heavy objects that cannot be lifted or moved. A shot blaster is used for cleaning, polishing and hardening steel structures. A shot blaster machine uses spherical shots or balls, silicon carbide granules, and sand to clean and polish the surfaces for further coating. A hydraulic press brake machine is used in sheet metal fabrication to bend or fold metal plates by clamping them between a matching punch and die pair. A press brake can convert metal sheets and strips into channels, girders, angles, and sections. It offers accuracy and versatility for bending simple or complex metal parts.

3-D roll benders with variable geometry

Flat rollers are used to quickly and efficiently transform flat metal sheet into cylindrical parts. 3-roll variable axis plate rolls used in sheet metal fabrication are more precise, productive, safer, and faster than any other 3-roll bender as its variable geometry has a greater pre-bending capacity.  These are suitable for medium and thick plates.

An ironworker is used by many heavy fabrication services in Brisbane to perform several tasks such as shearing, punching, cambering, notching, bending rods, channels, bars and bending flat plates. This versatile piece of equipment saves on labour, energy, time, and the overall cost of heavy fabrication services in Brisbane. A heavy-duty ironworker has 5 fully integrated workstations consisting of punch worktable, punch stripper, die holder, support table, adjustable hold-down and shear blades. Shears offer cost-effective cutting solutions as they are fast to setup. Cold saws have the lowest cost per cut among all sawing methods. Modern CNC (computer numeric control) machines have multiple axis and come in a wide range of lengths and tonnages.

Choosing a fabricator for contracting projects

Each provider of heavy fabrication services in Brisbane has a specific efficiency and throughput score that largely depends on the level of automation and the number of skilled staff on the production line. Inspect your potential sheet metal fabrication services provider well before signing a contract.

Brisbane Metal Products (BMP) has the right machinery and skilled technicians to accomplish all your heavy fabrication services in Brisbane. BMP offers several types of shears with different metal cutting capabilities. It uses fully automated mitre band saws with programmable cutting angle and automatic workpiece feed. The use of plasma systems allows BMP to accurately and precisely cut electrically conductive materials used by heavy fabrication services in Brisbane, such as steel, aluminium, copper and brass. Plasma cutting systems use an accelerated jet of extremely hot, electrically ionised gas (plasma) to form an electric channel from the cutting head through the workpiece, and then back to the cutting head.

Benefits of quality workmanship and excellent customer service

Laser systems used by BMP work by using thermal energy to remove material from the workpiece by melting, vaporising, burning, or blowing it away. This leaves a high-quality surface finish that is critical to the success of any finished product. A CNC machine directs the laser head to move about the workpiece and cuts the desired shapes with an accuracy of up to 10 micrometres. Laser systems on their own make this level of precision possible.

By contracting your sheet metal fabrication projects and heavy fabrication services in Brisbane to BMP, you can be assured of high-quality outcomes every time. Quality workmanship, reliability and client relationships are the cornerstones on which BMP has built up its reputation over more than 50 years of doing metal fabrication work. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and automation technology, BMP can design, fabricate, mesh, weld, form, and coat metal of any specific custom requirement that you have in sheet metal fabrication and heavy fabrication services in Brisbane.
