We have over 150 metres of guardrail in stock and can supply and install guardrail to meet your access requirements

All our systems have complete engineering certification, WorkCover (NSW) Plant Registration and comply with Australian Standard requirements of AS/NZS 4994 Parts 1 and 2 for guardrail, AS/NZS 1576, AS6001 and AS1657 for working platforms.

20 Years & 20,000 Jobs Completed

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:30:00 GMT

Who would have thought that when we started 20 years ago in a small workshop in the back of Botany that we would be still going in 20 years, in that time we have relocated to larger premises three times, trained too many apprentices to mention, completed 20,000 jobs, hired too many plumbers to mention as well and completed all sort of jobs from drainage lines for the Elephants at Taronga Zoo to the smallest of jobs for domestic clients.
We have tendered,won and completed projects in dollar value of up to $1.8 million and we are still tendering and winning projects of that magnitude.
Lets hope we are still doing it for our 40th anniversary!
