We will be exhibiting at the Australian Steel Convention in Adelaide from 14 to 16 September 2026, joining the rest of the steel value chain under this year's theme, "Capability, strength and resilience in a changing world." We're bringing our bolted connection systems, built to address some of the pain points we hear about most from fabricators, engineers and asset owners working in Australia's demanding coastal and industrial environments.
This year's convention program reflects an industry under pressure: sessions on competing with low-cost imports, strengthening domestic fabrication capability, and navigating decarbonisation and circularity all point to the same underlying challenge, doing more with tighter budgets, tighter timelines and a smaller skilled labour pool.
For structural steel projects along Australia's coastline, ports, offshore energy infrastructure and marine-adjacent industrial sites, we see that challenge compounded by corrosion. Hot works such as welding can damage protective coatings and galvanising at the point of connection, creating localised weak points that are difficult and costly to reinstate to the original coating specification. In a coastal atmosphere, a compromised coating is frequently where corrosion starts.
Our friction grip and heavy duty girder clamps offer an alternative to drilling and welding for many structural steelwork connections. Because our clamps mechanically grip the steel section rather than penetrating or heating it, the surrounding coating and base material are left intact, which matters for asset owners trying to protect lasting coating warranties and reduce maintenance cycles on coastal and offshore assets.
Our connections are also demountable, which speaks directly to the circularity theme running through this year's convention program. A bolted connection can be undone and the steel reused; a welded connection generally cannot be removed without cutting into the parent material.
Speed is the other side of the story. We've recently released a series of comparison videos measuring time required for installation for our girder clamps against both site welding and traditional drilling and bolting.
We built these for project teams trying to model program risk and labour cost before committing to a connection method, particularly on jobs where hot works permits, standby fire watch, or specialist welding labour are hard to schedule.
We'll be at booth 17 throughout the convention, with our technical staff on hand to talk through specific project applications, from port and marine structures to general fabrication and offshore energy work. We'd love for delegates to stop by, see the girder clamp range in person, and watch our new speed comparison videos on the project site.
