Innovation resulting in wide clear span capability *

Steel structure.

Over the years, we have built a well-earned reputation for innovation. We believe that innovation never stops, and we’re continuously searching for new, faster, and smarter ways to bring your ideal building to life without compromising on structural integrity. Our patented portal systems, DonoBeam and the Bracketless Portal System, are great examples of how we’re revolutionizing the steel construction industry.

DonoBeam is a tapered steel box beam

manufactured by welding two folded halves of steel plate together to form a box. It’s specifically tapered to reduce the steel needed for any design without reducing structural integrity.

Codeveloped in 2015 with BlueScope Steel, we have designed DonoBeam to withstand harsh New Zealand environmental conditions to protect your new building for years. The steel-saving design offers a more robust design solution (compared to cold-formed sections) for medium to large-spanning buildings and a lighter solution than hot-rolled sections. The result is a trusted product rapidly becoming the most efficient structural solution in the New Zealand market.
