At Composite Support Systems Victoria, based in Melbourne, we specialise in shear stud welding for construction projects across Victoria. With over 30 years of experience, our team provides high-quality, reliable services to ensure your structures are safe, stable, and built to last.
What is Shear Stud Welding
Shear stud welding is a specialised technique used in construction to create strong, reliable connections between steel components. This method primarily involves welding metal studs to a steel surface to improve the shear strength of the joint. Shear stud welding is a crucial technique in modern construction, ensuring that steel and concrete work together effectively to support and stabilise structures.
- Composite floor systems: Where concrete is poured over steel decking, and the shear studs help to bind the concrete to the steel, improving load-bearing capacity and stability.
- Bridges and high-rise buildings: To provide additional strength and stability in critical structural components.
How Your Project Can Benefit from Shear Stud Welding
- Strength: Shear studs enhance the load-carrying capacity and overall stability of composite structures.
- Efficiency: The process is quick and efficient, allowing for faster construction compared to some alternative methods.
- Cost-Effective: By improving the performance of composite structures, shear stud welding can be a cost-effective solution in terms of both materials and labour.
Specialised Shear Stud Welding
Our specialised employees have been fully trained in not only installation but also testing of the studs to fully comply with the Australian Standard AS 1554.2:2021. Our team is also trained in Health and Safety procedures to guarantee that the highest level of care is upheld throughout the installation process.
CSSV provides its own generators if the site lacks an adequate power supply. We operate multiple fully equipped mobile units, each with a generator and stud welding equipment.
