Steel fabrication company Glyde Metal Industries highlights its steel fabrication contribution to Victoria’s ongoing Big Build.
One of the cornerstone sections of this major infrastructure project was the Sky Rail project, and in particular the duplication of the Cranbourne rail line.
Glyde Metal was proud to be involved in this undertaking as the upgrade was of significant importance to a local, city and state where our operations are geographically located.
High Quality Steel Fabrication for Infrastructure Projects
Glyde Metal was tasked with high quality steel fabrication of:
- Rail cabinets for platforms and carparks
- Rail Track Ballast and Riser Cages
- Grates, plates and specialised components
Glyde Metal’s sovereign capability came to the fore as the scope of manufacturing for commercial steel fabrication required the sourcing of local materials supplied by Bluescope.
The Australian steel that is produced by Bluescope is highly regarded, so being aligned with such an iconic brand has been incredibly beneficial for Glyde Metal as we fabricate complex steel assemblies and parts for our Tier 1 customers.
Steel Fabrication Services ・Bluescope & Glyde Metal Industries
Fast forward to 2025 and we are proud to say that our relationship with Bluescope has strengthened and the range of products we rely upon for our projects has diversified.
Using a range of Bluescope products such as TRUSPEC® steel, tubular steel, and quenched and tempered plate made by Bisalloy®, Glyde Metal has been able to rely heavily on these materials as its steel fabrication services have expanded across industries such as defence and the wind and power sector.
This also helps us meet the two major requirements our customers demand – a reliable and flexible supply chain, and certainty of the steel quality.
