Bringing new life back to an iconic Brisbane location
Watkins Steel was contracted by JMac Constructions to supply and install structural steel for an grand architectural arbour. The arbour sits at the heart of The Parklands acting as an impressive landscape feature, surrounded by multi-level apartments and recreational gardens.
- Complex architectural design with no two parts similar and few straight members
- Awkwardness and size of the steel
- Tight budgetary and time-frame constraints

Watkins Steel’s state of the art expertise and construction savvy approach to providing millimetre perfect production of the arbour ensured that an extremely complex and high risk installation was completed seamlessly, efficiently and with the highest consideration of safety to all personnel involved. The site based verification of physical obstacles and constraints paired with their software allowed conflict analysis and design vetting to occur virtually in the office. As the client we were afforded hands on opportunities to partake in this process ensuring that the finished product was exactly as it was envisioned. The Watkins steel team provided great service throughout the entire project and I was extremely confident with the outcome throughout its fabrication and construction thanks to their professional and collaborative approach.
