At Shackell Fabrication, we specialise heavily in certified welding for screw pier tension testing, delivering high-strength, precision-engineered welds that meet the rigorous demands of onsite soil structural assessments. As our core focus on this page, we provide expert welding services specifically tailored for engineering testing requirements, ensuring absolute reliability under immense mechanical stress.

​

Our core capabilities include:

​

Certified Screw Pier Tension Test Welding
High-penetration, certified welding designed to join testing collars, brackets, and high-tensile rods directly to screw piers. Our welds are engineered to withstand the exact upward pulling forces applied during hydraulic load and soil tension testing without failure.

​

Onsite Screw Pier Soil Testing Services
We bring our specialised expertise directly to your job site. With a qualified tension test welder on hand, we work alongside geotechnical engineers and piling contractors to prepare, weld, and secure testing rigs efficiently, keeping your site compliance on schedule.

​

Custom Testing Rig Components
Beyond the primary pier welds, we fabricate bespoke brackets, heavy-duty plates, and specialised load-distribution components required to set up accurate engineering testing apparatuses for various soil types.

​

Our Business & Factory Capabilities
Beyond our onsite testing services, Shackell Fabrication delivers excellence across all types of custom metalwork. Our purpose-designed, state-of-the-art factory is fully equipped to support our field operations, allowing us to pre-fabricate custom components before arriving on site.
​
Our facility boasts advanced equipment and lifting capabilities, meaning any off-site preparation or custom modifications needed for your testing apparatus are handled with minimal stress and absolutely no wasted time.

Serving the Tweed Coast Locally
We are all about saving Tweed Coast builders, engineers, and piling contractors valuable time and ever-increasing call-out fees. Centrally positioned right here on the Tweed Coast of New South Wales, our local presence means our customers completely avoid the stressful, time-consuming wait for specialised welders commuting from Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast, or Ballina.
​
