Steel Steps manufactured by Better

We recently completed the manufacture of a set of Steel Steps and handrails.

This photo was when the Steps were nearing completion in our factory and before they were transported to our customer.

Contact the team at Better Engineering if you need a price. We can look at your drawings, or suggest a design.

Who is Better Engineering?

Better Engineering has been servicing the South-East Queensland market under the same ownership for over 25 years. 

It specialised in steel fabrication and welding, taking projects right through from drawings and design, to installation on site. Work is carried out in their Geebung factory and/or on-site, depending on the requirements of the project. 

The benefits of having Better Engineering on board include 

 – Director or senior technician involvement at every step. 

 – massive bank of industry experience to call on 

 – acute awareness of project deadlines and budgets.

We weld using the following methods

  • MIG – used in the workshop as the most cost effective fabrication method for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium components.
  • TIG – used with lighter gauge stainless steel and aluminium fabrications but can also be needed for welding aluminium castings, etc.
  • Electrode – used for welding situations where the area to be welded can’t be easily cleaned or for site welding where wind conditions can make MIG and TIG welding impractical. Also used for welding the likes of cast iron.
  • Silver Solder – commonly used for brass fittings, copper tube, etc and is also useful for joining dissimilar metals such as brass to stainless steel.

 

Pipe storage rack

Pipe storage rackWe recently completed the manufacture of a tremmie Pipe Storage Rack.

This project was carried out for a drilling company.

The rack was manufactured out of carbon steel and then painted.

The Pipe storage rack also had a access floor installed.

For projects like this, we usually work of plans supplied by our customer, but before we start manufacture, we always review drawings, and confirm every detail so that mistakes aren’t made.

We recently fabricated and installed a large steel platform.

The Platform and handrails were hot dip galvanized.

We supplied workshop drawings after being supplied tender drawings.

Two curved recesses in the steel platform are where the tanks are to be installed later as per the circular pads on the floor.

Handrail sections installed in the two tank recesses are temporary, to be removed after the tank installation.

We recently completed a steel platform.

This project involved fabricating and installing the steel platform, stairs and handrail.

The platform, stairs and handrail were hot dip galvanized with handrails painted safety yellow as per specifications.

We also installed some of the pipework which included both on-site welding and bolting pipe sections into position.

The Better Engineering assisted with assembly and installation of some of the other various components.

Steelwork was installed into an existing waste water treatment plant at Kilcoy as part of an expansion of the plant.

We weld using the following methods

  • MIG – used in the workshop as the most cost effective fabrication method for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium components.
  • TIG – used with lighter gauge stainless steel and aluminium fabrications but can also be needed for welding aluminium castings, etc.
  • Electrode – used for welding situations where the area to be welded can’t be easily cleaned or for site welding where wind conditions can make MIG and TIG welding impractical. Also used for welding the likes of cast iron.
  • Silver Solder – commonly used for brass fittings, copper tube, etc and is also useful for joining dissimilar metals such as brass to stainless steel.

At Better Engineering, we always look for ways to save you time and money

  • Repairing instead of replacing is usually cost effective. We have a lathe set up specifically for MIG welding rebuilds on components such as shafts, pins, conveyor rollers, track rollers, etc.
  • Outsourcing will help you to avoid the expense of setting up or maintaining the capacity to supply your own fabrication needs.
  • Outsourcing can increase your own effectiveness with our quick response to your repair needs or breakdowns.
