Fabrication
Alfasi offers an integrated range of structural steel services from feasibility to design, fabrication and site erection. Our 5,500 square metre Dandenong plant is set on 3.5 acres, with an annual production capability of 10,000 tonnes. A specialist network of sub-contractors and suppliers adds substantially to that capacity.

Alfasi continually invests in state of the art equipment for fabrication efficiency and high quality finished product. Our fabrication facility includes:

K4000
Alfasi Steel Constructions Kinetic K4000 is a state of the art heavy-duty combination plasma/Oxy/machining centre capable of processing material up to 65mm thick with Plasma and in excess of 200mm thick with Oxy fuel. The machine is fitted with a 20HP spindle with thru coolant, which allows drilling, taping and milling of Mild, Stainless or Aluminium steel plate. The result is a machine that is capable of utilising the most advanced carbide tool technology, which allows the K4000 to drill holes in steel quicker than other machines can burn them. This combined with the cutting power of the latest in Harris gas cutting system’s and a high performance HPR260 plasma cutting system with CNC auto gas control from Hypertherm USA, provides Alfasi with superior high definition quality and the quickest plate processing times available. Not to mention a full CNC controlled Plasma/Oxy bevel head for up to 45 degrees weld preparation on any size part required.

Project Management
Alfasi has an accomplished team of project managers, many with engineering qualifications and all highly experienced in complex structural construction projects. Our project managers are experienced in all areas required to successfully complete projects including programming, coordination with trades, delivery of material, quality assurance, safety, contract administration and steel erection.Our project management skills provide flexibility to incorporate other areas when undertaking contracts, achieving a better overall project outcome for our clients.

Examples of this include:

Federation Square Plaza Deck - In addition to providing the structural steel for the challenging architectural deck at this landmark project, Alfasi's scope included all formwork, shear studs, reinforcing steel, and concrete.

• Federation Square South, Interfilament Glazing - Alfasi's scope included both supporting steelwork and glazing.
• Sydney Showgrounds Exhibition Halls - The structure of this building consisted of both structural steel and glue laminated timber beams.
• Bangkok International Airport - Alfasi Projects and Services provided consultant engineering services for the main roof structure as well as erection methodology and sequencing for the super structure on behalf of Takanaka (the client).

Erection
Alfasi employs its own erection personnel for all projects using our own equipment. This is supplemented by additional cranes as required and managed on site by our project managers and site foremen. Alfasi has the flexibility to operate in numerous geographical locations across Australia, both in terms of site erection and project management.

Heavy Lift Expertise

In the following projects, Alfasi utilised advanced technology in steel erection and methodology to provide safe, effective and cost efficient solutions to the most complex steel erections.

MCG Northern Stand Redevelopment - Melbourne, Victoria

• 40m 25 tonne roof rafters assembled on the ground with all steel attachments and cable stay.
• Roof rafters erected by dual lift and cable stay winched to its final position to support rafter.

Telstra Dome - Melbourne, Victoria

• Features the world's largest retractable roof with an opening spanning 165 meters by 100m.
• The retractable roof consists of two moveable sections each weighing approximately 1500t.
• In addition to the retractable roof, Alfasi fabricated and erected the fixed roof steelwork and the stadium raking seat support steelwork totalling 5,500t.
• The jacking of the retractable roof trusses was completed in four stages, with each roof assembly section weighing 700t and measuring 165m in length, 25m wide and 15m in height.
• The fully assembled and fitted roof section was jacked up to 45m above ground and launched onto the permanent structure.

Sydney Showgrounds Exhibition Halls - Sydney, New South Wales

• Combined steel and laminated timber beam structure totalling 2000 tonnes, measuring 100m in diametre and 50m in height.
• The dome, weighing approximately 500t, was jacked up to its final height position in three stages.

Ansett Domestic Terminal - Sydney, New South Wales

• 10 roof trusses were assembled and fully fitted out on the ground
• The trusses were jacked up to their final position to form the roof for the new Departure Hall.

The combined success of these projects is the result of Alfasi's high performance culture and its continued ability to provide flexibility and solutions to fast track projects.

Alfasi's key objective is to continuously add value to its clients' projects by being involved throughout the delivery process, from conceptual design, feasibility and cost planning, design development and constructability to detailed methodology and complex logistics planning.
