Precision steel fabrication and earthquake strengthening for residential, rural, and commercial buildings — done right and built to endure New Zealand conditions.
What We Do
From rural sheds to structural frames — Abbott Steel handles the full scope of fabrication. Custom, precise, and built to handle whatever New Zealand throws at it.
Beams, columns, frames, and bracing for commercial and rural buildings. Engineered to spec and built to carry the load.
House beams and structural steel for residential builds, plus custom balustrades and handrails built to your spec.
One-off and short-run fabrication to your drawings or ours. Brackets, frames, platforms, and everything in between.
Custom steel trailers built to carry your load. Farm, equipment, and general-purpose trailers built in New Zealand.
Structural steel retrofitting and seismic strengthening for existing buildings. A major part of what we do — keeping buildings safe and compliant.
Earthquake Strengthening
Earthquake strengthening is a major part of what Abbott Steel does. We design and install structural steel retrofits that bring older buildings up to current seismic standards — protecting people, property, and investment.
Steel frames and bracing installed into existing structures to meet NZ seismic standards.
Rigid steel moment frames engineered to absorb and distribute seismic loads effectively.
Diagonal steel bracing to resist lateral forces and prevent building racking during seismic events.
Structural steel to meet engineer-specified requirements and bring buildings to target %NBS ratings.
