Atlas Steel PNG was proud to support OK Tedi with the supply and processing of over 7,000 tonnes of reinforcing steel, ranging from 12mm to 36mm in diameter, for a major infrastructure development.

All reinforcing bar was scheduled, cut, bent, and pre-assembled into cages at our dedicated workshop facility. These prefabricated units were then transported directly to site, significantly improving project logistics and installation efficiency.

By shifting high-risk steel assembly activities off-site, this approach eliminated the need for dangerous on-site bending and tying, contributing to a safer work environment. Impressively, the project recorded zero lost time injuries, a testament to the effectiveness of our off-site fabrication strategy.

In addition to safety, the prefabrication process delivered major time and cost efficiencies-saving OK Tedi over 20,000 man-hours of on-site work. This streamlined delivery model reduced construction risk, improved scheduling, and supported OK Tedi’s commitment to operational excellence.
