Fabrication

Petone Engineering is a leading structural steel fabrication business in Wellington, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in handling projects of all sizes across the region.

Our modern 4,000 square metre workshop in Seaview is equipped with cutting-edge fabrication machinery, allowing us to efficiently complete steel fabrication projects at one central location. This setup provides us with the flexibility to meet diverse project demands and maintain high standards of quality and precision.

Automated equipment includes:

  • An Ocean Avenger plus CNC beam drilling machine. This gives us industry-leading flexibility in the holes, slots and service penetrations that we can accurately and repeatedly cut in any steel beams.

  • A MEBA 1100 DG metal cutting CNC bandsaw with roller feed and backstop system. This helps to accurately cut almost any beam available in the New Zealand market up to 1100mm high with mitres up to 60 degrees.

Surface Protection

At Petone Engineering, we provide in-house surface protection services to ensure the highest quality finishes for all steelwork we produce. Regardless of the final use case for steel, we have the surface protection product and application process to ensure long-lasting results. 

Our in-house blasting and paint shop enables us to deliver superior finishes that meet the specific requirements of each project.

Our range of surface protection services includes:

  • Basic Zinc-Rich Primer: Provides essential corrosion resistance for steel surfaces.

  • Finished Paint: Custom paint finishes tailored to project specifications for both protective and aesthetic purposes.

  • Powder Coating: Durable and attractive coating option for various steel components.

  • Heavy Corrosion Resistant Protection: Techniques such as hot zinc arc spraying for maximum durability in harsh environments.

We specialise in the fabrication and installation of Architectural Exposed Structural Steel (AESS). With no elements obscuring the completed steelwork, every cut, weld, bolt plate, and coating must be of the highest quality. 

Our meticulous attention to detail ensures that AESS components not only meet structural requirements but also enhance the visual appeal of your project.

Benefits of Our In-House Surface Protection Services:

  • Quality Control: By managing surface protection processes in-house, we maintain strict quality control, ensuring all finishes meet our high standards and project specifications.

  • Durability: Our advanced protection techniques extend the lifespan of steel structures by shielding them from corrosion and environmental damage.

  • Aesthetic Excellence: High-quality finishes enhance the visual appeal of exposed steelwork, contributing to the overall architectural beauty of your project.

  • Efficiency: In-house operations streamline workflows, reduce lead times, and minimise the risk of delays, keeping your project on track.

  • Customisation: We have the ability to offer tailored surface protection solutions to meet the unique needs of each project, ensuring optimal performance and satisfaction.
