The Leader In Efficient And Reliable Industrial Structural Engineering

We are a team of highly relatable, adaptable, and supportive expert structural engineers and Tekla technicians working in the nation’s industrial sector.

We stick to what we know, and we do it exceptionally well. We maintain a tight niche so that we can provide our clients with kept promises, certainty, consistency, and the most efficient structures and reliable services possible.

We have developed, documented, honed, and are constantly improving our award-winning formula for delivering premium industrial structural engineering products and services. We will keep doing so as long as we are able to benefit, advance, and add value to our clients, our people, and our business.

About Us

Tungsten Structures set out in July 2015 to create the most sustainable business model ever, one that creates a wealth of personal, professional, and financial opportunities for our loyal team and customers.

We have a legendary reputation for consistently providing the most efficient, reliable, and compliant structural steelwork designs on the market. And our customers swiftly realise that this is just the tip of the elegant iceberg that is the Tungsten Structures brand.

We are experts in all aspects of industrial structures, including ambient, cold-store, high-bay, food-processing, automated, and retail big-box facilities. Whether a structure has complexities such as fibre or post-tensioned reinforced slabs on ground, is supported on soft, reactive, or challenging ground, has gantry or jib cranes, or has wall panels that are full height, dado height, concrete tilt, or precast—we excel at them all.

We deliver wealth to our customers by simply and consistently doing the things that they expect of us, including the things that they tell us their other service consultants fail to do. We deliver wealth to our team members by giving back in equal measure that which they choose to put in.
