Services
Pressure Pipework
Specialist fabrication and installation of stainless steel and carbon steel pipework systems for high-pressure and corrosive environments. Compliant with ASME B31.3 and AS4041 standards, serving oil & gas, dairy, and petrochemical industries. Capable of handling pipe sizes from 25NB to 1500NB with surface protection options including fusion-bonded epoxy coatings.
Tanks and Vessels
Design and fabrication of API 650-compliant tanks and ASME-certified pressure vessels in stainless and carbon steel. Specialising in custom solutions for chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining sectors with capacities up to 450m. Features include insulation cladding, corrosion-resistant linings, and precision welding to ASME 1X standards.
Site Installation
Full-cycle installation services managed by 5 dedicated project managers and 30+ specialised contractors. Includes crane operations with 20-tonne capacity, commissioning of mechanical systems, and adherence to strict quality assurance protocols. Supports projects from single-component replacements to complete plant installations.
General Fabrication
Comprehensive fabrication capabilities for structural steelworks up to 20-tonne capacity. Utilises CNC machining, plate rolling up to 3m width, and orbital welding technologies. Produces components ranging from precision machine parts to large-scale industrial structures for mining and energy sectors.
3D CAD Design
Advanced 3D CAD modelling and 2D shop drawings for mechanical and structural components. Enables client interaction with virtual prototypes, error-free manufacturing through direct CNC integration, and production of isometric views for quality assurance documentation.
