Delivering High-Quality Steel Components for Queensland Transport Infrastructure
Project Overview
INGAL EPS, a leading manufacturer of lighting and utility infrastructure, partnered with Laser Blade to supply precision-cut steel components for critical transport projects across Queensland. The partnership focuses on delivering pole foundations, steel accessories, and light poles for the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), supporting essential street lighting, utility poles, and telecommunication infrastructure throughout the state.
The Challenge
INGAL EPS required a laser cutting partner capable of meeting the demanding requirements of government infrastructure projects. The key challenges included:
- Maintaining exceptionally high quality standards for government contracts
- Rapid turnaround times, with standard delivery in 2-3 working days and urgent parts available in 12-24 hours
- Processing a wide range of mild steel thicknesses from 2mm to 25mm with precision
- Supplying certified Grade 350 mild steel with up-to-date material certification
- Flexibility to handle both routine production runs and emergency requirements
The Laser Blade Solution
Laser Blade deployed its advanced 12KW fiber laser cutting technology to deliver precision components that meet INGAL EPS’s exacting standards. Strategically located in Yatala between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, enabled rapid response times and efficient logistics for the project.
Advanced Technology
Our Bystronic 12KW fiber laser system delivers exceptional cutting quality across the full range of material thicknesses required for this project. The advanced fiber technology ensures:
- Perfect edge quality on mild steel from 2mm to 25mm thickness
- Precise dimensional accuracy for critical structural components
- Clean, burr-free cuts that minimize secondary processing
- High-speed processing for efficient production runs
