No Road? No Problem. Delivering Structural Steel to Waiheke’s Shoreline

For construction companies, reliability in a structural steel partner isn’t just about welding—it’s about getting the job done, no matter how many moving parts.

When a leading commercial builder began planning a development on Waiheke Island, they needed a steelwork partner who could not only fabricate to spec—but also figure out how to get tonnes of structural steel across the Hauraki Gulf. Enter Amediate Engineering.

From the outset, we worked alongside the project’s construction team to simplify the scope into manageable stages:
– Structural sequencing and shop drawing verification
– Early fabrication of hold-down bolts and base plates
– Pre-lift preparation for offsite barge delivery
– On-island install support to streamline crane logistics

To minimise delay and ensure every component arrived on time and intact, Amediate coordinated the leasing of barges to transport large sections of fabricated steel to site including the hiabs and cranes required for installation. On-site, our team undertook the steel rigging, with pre-marked assemblies and install-ready bolt packs—no wasted time, no guesswork.

In projects like this, steel is just part of the equation.
It’s the ability to manage complexity—access, weather windows, marine logistics, sequencing—that sets us apart.

We bring that mindset to every job:
– Structural steel for remote builds
– Main and secondary framing for commercial and civic works
– Architectural and high-precision assemblies for site-critical structures

Whether you’re building up in the city or out on the edge of the map, Amediate Engineering can take the complexity off your plate and deliver steelwork that fits—logistically and structurally.
