Atex Steel Site visit

We contacted Atex Steel and organised a site visit on the 22/5/08, Adam the factory manager gave us a tour of the manufacturing equipment and materials. The fabrication factory is located at 2 Moon Street Moolap.

The physical size of the factory allows for long spanning steel universal beams to be fabricated under controlled conditions, with the assistance of the yellow overhead crane. This extensive fabrication in the factory under controlled conditions, reduces the time and labour required on site.

These are the connection that are to be welded to the UB, also pictured is the engineers drawings which specify the location of the holes that need to be drilled.

Once completely assembled the beams are treated with Inorganic zinc silicate primer paint, to protect the steel from exposed environments.
