  • Suitable for coastal and outdoor environments
  • Custom fabrication to suit each site
  • Practical installation options
  • Clean finishes for public-facing spaces


Can Manson Engineering design, fabricate and install infrastructure components?

Yes. Manson Engineering manages design, fabrication and installation in house. This gives project teams one supplier across the full process and helps reduce delays, handover issues and gaps between design intent and final installation.

Our process covers:
  • Design input
  • Shop drawings
  • Custom fabrication
  • Aluminium and steel manufacturing
