This project involved the supply, fabrication, and installation of 18 stainless steel bollards and 40 linear meters of galvanised handrail. The bollards were made from 150 mm OD stainless steel pipe with a 6.4 mm wall thickness, providing both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for the client. Each bollard was fully welded with a seamlessly finished cap at the top, and then linished after fabrication to achieve a perfect brushed finish on all external faces.
The galvanised handrail system was custom-fabricated on-site to meet the project’s specific requirements. Due to the winding nature of the concrete formwork and tapering steps, we needed to make precise on-site adjustments to the handrail’s design. This involved fabricating the system with perfectly notched joints to accommodate the varying angles of the steps and winding curves of the formwork. Once the handrails were assembled and welded, they were removed for hot-dip galvanising off-site, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance. After galvanisation, they were returned to site for installation, with welds touched up using epoxy zinc-rich primer and silver zinc spray to ensure seamless, uniform protection across the structure.
Throughout both aspects of this project, we adhered to relevant standards such as AS 4100 for steel structures and AS/NZS 4680 for hot-dip galvanising, ensuring that both the bollards and handrail systems met stringent safety, durability, and aesthetic criteria.

Key areas include quality control, customer satisfaction, employee involvement, and process optimization. Through TQM, we target higher consistency, reduced defects, and enhanced customer satisfaction, leading to better product reliability, reduced operational costs, and a stronger competitive position in the market.
