Condobolin Steel Pty Ltd, owned and operated by the Salter family, has been established since 1968, based in Condobolin, one of NSW prominent wheat growing areas.
Much of Condobolin Steel's business has been to do with bulk handling this golden grain, both with growers and Graincorp operations, the company who receives and distributes or exports the majority of the crop. These contracts vary in size from small access platforms and ladder-ways to “turn key” operations such as the 40,000 tonnes x 600 THP facility at Euabalong West which exceeded $4.75M. Along the way local and NSW government contracts have included over 30 steel bridges, weir gates, trash racks and river regulating components delivered to destinations including Keepit Dam in the State’s north, Windemere Dam and Jemalong Weir to Maude Weir in the State’s south. Over several decades Manildra Flour Mills has expanded substantially and over this time Condobolin Steel Pty Ltd has tendered successfully for the supply and installation of a large range of steelwork including structural and access elements. Most noticeable are the large Over-rail bran, pollard and flour bins towering over the surrounding area.
Condobolin Steel's workshop equipment includes a 10mm x 3m capacity guillotine, 120tonne hydraulic brake press, 2 punch and shears, 600mm x 450mm capacity bandsaw mills, lathes, drills and five overhead cranes. A large selection of pipe, tube, plate, merchant bar and beams are kept in stock to meet the demands of the many and varied requests.
Commercial buildings including McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Commonwealth Bank, Fessl Railway maintenance, Jemalong Wool, several ex-service and RSL Clubs all have structural steel fabricated by Condobolin Steel Pty Ltd. Contracts with mining companies for site and shutdown labour have included grizzlies, conveyors, feed chutes, blast furnace manifolds, scrubber tanks, thickener rakes, floatation cells, pressure welding, CIL relines, tank rebuilds, structural steelwork and underground components (including vent systems, rising main pipework and escape ladder components) to mines as far afield as Broken Hill, Cobar, Emerald, Hermidale, Lithgow, Lake Cowal and the Hunter Valley, as well as buildings and workshop extensions at North Parkes Gold Mine.
With the rising popularity of kit sheds and pre-fabricated buildings in recent years, Condobolin Steel Pty Ltd is an agent and recognised supplier of kit sheds and garages to the Domestic market and “Statewide” sheds to the rural and commercial sectors.
