AS/NZS5131
AS/NZS 5131 is the Australian/New Zealand standard for the fabrication and erection of structural steelwork. It sets clear guidelines to ensure safety, quality, and consistency in structural steel projects across industries like construction, infrastructure, and heavy engineering. The standard defines practices for welding, bolting, materials, and surface treatment, along with quality control levels based on the structure’s importance and complexity.
Key Benefits of AS/NZS 5131 Compliance:
Enhanced Safety: Meeting AS/NZS 5131 means your steel structures are fabricated and erected to high safety standards.
Quality Assurance: This standard establishes quality control practices for welding and fabrication to ensure strength and reliability.
Industry Recognition: Compliance demonstrates a commitment to industry best practices, improving credibility and customer trust.
AS/NZS 5131 divides projects into different Construction Categories (CC1 to CC4), allowing customized quality requirements for projects of varying complexity. Categories CC2 and CC3, for example, focus on more complex or critical structures. Our team can assist with AS/NZS 5131 compliance, providing guidance on everything from planning and materials to fabrication and final inspection.
