Plastic Fabrication
We create precision-engineered plastic components using HDPE, PP, and PVC materials. Our fabrication processes include sheet butt welding, extrusion welding, and CNC machining. Clients benefit from corrosion-resistant solutions tailored to mining, water treatment, and industrial applications.
Engineering Design
Our team provides 3D CAD and FEA modelling for plastic system design validation. We develop concept designs and perform calculations to Australian standards. This ensures optimal structural integrity and performance for custom plastic installations.
Plastic Welding
Certified welders perform HDPE pipe butt welding and electrofusion techniques. We maintain compliance with AS/NZS 4130 standards for pipeline networks. On-site welding services ensure seamless installation of industrial plastic piping systems.
Chemical Storage Tanks
We design and construct chemical storage tanks up to 200,000 litres capacity. Available in cylindrical or rectangular configurations with specialized linings. Our tanks meet DVS standards for sodium hypochlorite and other corrosive substances.
Smart Syphon Systems
Our Smart Syphon technology enables efficient flood irrigation automation. This HDPE-based system provides cost-effective water management solutions for agricultural and mining applications with reliable, low-maintenance operation.
