Sustainable Steel, Part 2
Light Gauge Steel is produced in the steel mill using up to 100% recycled steel. Old products are reborn; a car part can become a refrigerator, then a ladder, then a Con-form Group HVACR plant platform. This is a circular economy which minimises the need for virgin steel, and therefore reduces the amount of iron ore being extracted. Globally
Sustainable Steel
Is Light Gauge Steel more sustainable than structural steel? We believe so. Here are a few comparisons to help you decide. When 1 ton of structural steel is made in a Basic Oxygen Furnace or blast furnace, it generates approx. 1.7-1.8 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The purifying and hot rolling process consumes approx. 20-25 gigajoules of energy. To
25 Degree Pitch, Penetration-Free
A penetration-free platform on a building with a 25-degree roof pitch. Why not? Con-form Group’s uniquely designed purlin-mounted plant platform, the EasyMech MR, securely fixes to roofs without the need for cutting through them. Which means there is no risk of any leaks into the building. The prefabricated steel frame is flat pack-lifted to the roof and rapidly assembled,
Big Load
Another fully loaded semi leaving our Con-form Group manufacturing facility at Bathurst. Bound for a city or regional centre somewhere in Australia (we supply projects all over the place!). This is a common sight in 2025 due to the continuous construction activity across the nation. We appreciate being the supplier-of-choice for all types of projects; from data centres
Surf’s Up!
The next time you catch a wave at Sydney's URBNSURF surf park, take a look at the building roof and you'll notice two platforms and screens hiding unsightly HVACR plant equipment and ducting -- designed, manufactured and installed by Con-form Group. The lightweight steel penetration-free platform has a drop of 5 degrees; the 2-metre high visual screens cutback
Spontaneous Ideas
A lot of the walls at the Con-form Group HQ are covered in whiteboard paint. Why? Because it is not uncommon to see a group of designers and engineers start drawing designs and making quick calculations as they deliberate over a new product or product upgrade. Often, in the midst of a meeting, someone will jump up and express
