Overview: Heavy fabrication involves the manufacturing and assembly of large, complex metal structures and components used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. This includes everything from frames and supports to custom-built equipment housings and platforms.

How we deliver: Operating from a purpose-built fabrication workshop in Nelson, Kernohan Engineering handles all stages of heavy fabrication — from design and cutting to welding, assembly, and onsite installation. The workshop is fully equipped for large-scale projects and supports a wide range of materials and structural needs.

We specialise in:

• Fabrication of structural steel elements for buildings and industrial facilities

• Manufacture of heavy-duty platforms, frames, and walkways

• Assembly of pipe bridges, conveyor structures, and support towers

• Seismic structural upgrades and compliance modifications

• Large-scale welding and coded welders certified to industry standards

Value to your business:

• One-stop solution from concept to installation

• Skilled tradespeople with experience in demanding environments

• Strict quality control and safety compliance

• Customised fabrication for complex or unique project needs

Industries we serve: Construction, timber processing, marine, transport, manufacturing, and bulk handling industries — especially where robust and precise fabrication is critical to operational integrity.
