Steel fabrication

With our purpose-built steel fabrication facilities 16km north of the CBD of Sydney, our experienced personnel and long standing relations with the biggest names in the Australian steel industry, we are ready to assist you in your next structural steel project – big or small.

Over our 50 years as structural steel fabricators we have completed hundreds of major projects. We supplied structural steel for the iconic Qantas House in Sydney close to half a century ago, worked on top of the Centrepoint Tower and we’ve worked on schools, shopping centres and major civil infrastructure including the Lane Cove Tunnel, and thousands of houses across NSW.

We offer detailing, surface coating and installation packages at fixed lump sum prices so you can manage your budget. And we can partner with you for the delivery of your structural steel fabrication requirements. Or we can supply processed steel to your site for fabrication and installation by your own team.

Builder’s steel

We have been supplying steel to the building and construction industries for more than 50 years.

Structural steel is the a go-to material for builders who need high strength over big spans, steel has the strength to weight ratio to get your job done.

The Structural Steel in Housing guide and Hot Rolled and Structural Steel Products catalogue will provide you with information on sizes, weights, application and spans to help you select the beam you need, as well as some helpful information on selecting the right corrosion protection solution to ensure your steel goes the distance.

With Edcon you have the convenience to order your builder’s steel online, 24/7. Whether you need a structural beam, structural column or other steel sections, we cut to size and – depending on your location and the size of your order – deliver to your door.

For large or complicated orders that can’t be quoted online, you can contact us to discuss your requirements.

Structural welding

At Edcon, we understand that the welding process starts well before any arc is struck. The selection of materials, processes, personnel and equipment are vital to efficient, long lasting and compliant welds in a cost effective manner. We have a wealth of experience in welding structural steel to assist you with your next project.

There is an infinite number of applications and situations for welding. No matter the case, we always select a weld that is compliant with the specifications provided and work to ensure welds meet the quality criteria provided by the client.

We weld to your specifications and carry out structural welding to relevant Australian Standards – specifically AS/NZS1554.1 – Welding of Structures. Our process does not include third party inspection and testing, so you should consider engineering performance, safety factors and the desired appearance for welds before commencing a job and ensure the consultants you use are fully briefed on your requirements.

We have prequalified welding procedures in place to cover fillet welds (up to 10mm) and complete penetration butt welds (up to 50mm). We also have qualified personnel on hand to complete the procedures, in a number of common joint configurations and positions, so you are not paying for this work to be done in your next project.

In accordance with AS/NZ1554.1 “Structural Steel – Welding – Part 1: Welding of Steel structures”, we:

• Ensure our team of welders are qualified and comply with the appropriate requirements of AS/ NZ1554. Every one of our welders receives a certificate to state their compliance with the appropriate requirements.
• Qualify all procedures and make Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) available to all welders during fabrication by way of Welding Procedure Sheets (WPS).
• Employ a welding supervisor to supervise all welding work and ensure the welding is carried out as specified.
• Hold memberships of peak industry bodies including Weld Australia, Australian Steel Institute and Australian Stainless Steel Development Association.
