Cullen Steel Fabrications | 7 Companies such as Cullen Steel Fabrications are helping drive a revolution in structural steel design with the LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN®. Australian made LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN®’s are the rst real development in purlin design in many years. So unique and revolutionary is the SUPAPURLIN® design that the unique SUPAZED® and SUPACEE® purlin prooles have been patented by BlueScope Lysaght. The difference between regular purlins and the LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN® is obvious. Unique stiffening ribs running along the web of the purlin make it easy to identify a LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN®. These ribs are at the core of the SUPAPURLIN®’s remarkable enhanced performance. By improving the structural performance of the web in bending and/or shear the SUPAPURLIN® is able to bear more weight and span greater distances than the traditional purlin. That means cost savings can be achieved either through reducing the gauge of purlin used, reducing the number of supports needed, reduced purlin rows or a combination of all these approaches. All LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN®’s are manufactured from high strength GALVASPAN® steel, BlueScope Steel’s zinc coated steel product speciically designed for purlin applications. Available in a range of thicknesses and web depths to suit any project the LYSAGHT SUPAPURLIN® is the ideal product alternative for commercial and industrial building applications.

For that, the company employs several of their own draftsmen, all of whom are highly skilled and experienced and familiar with the way Cullen Steel does things. “We can watch every element of the job as its being developed and control it,” Barrington says, describing the advantage to their approach. “Part of the secret to getting good fabricated product out at the end is having good quality drawings at the beginning.” In recent years, Cullen Steel has applied their expert service to a number of high profile, iconic projects. One example of such is the Macquarie Bank in Sydney, where all the columns are external to the building, forming a diagrid structure which Cullen provided the steel for. The Star City Casino is another example – they recently
