Comprehensive Engineering and Fabrication Services Across Tasmania
Complete Engineering Solutions for Fabrication, Machining and Construction Projects
The Engineering Company operates from workshops in Somerset and Hobart and provides complete engineering solutions across all of Tasmania. We offer heavy industrial steel fabrication, large-capacity machining, specialised welding and on-site installation for clients in the mining, power, water and processing industries. With more than 40 years of experience and ISO-accredited systems, we deliver safe, traceable and timely outcomes for complex engineering projects.
Complete Engineering Capabilities for Heavy Industry
The Engineering Company has large, well-equipped workshops in the north and south of Tasmania, so we can manufacture, test and despatch complex items at scale. We combine in-house design, 3D modelling, CNC profile cutting and heavy machining to deliver fabricate-then-machine accuracy that reduces site risk and rework. Our team manages projects from scope, methodology and budget through to commissioning with one accountable lead for clarity and safety. We support interstate deliveries and provide on-site installation and commissioning where required.
Heavy Steel and Structural Fabrication
We manufacture pressure vessels, tanks, crane girders, hoppers, platforms and pipework to client specifications and Australian standards.
Specialised Welding and Repairs
Our qualified welders use approved procedures and NDT coordination to repair and fabricate critical components for high-risk environments.
Large Capacity Machining
Large horizontal and vertical borers, lathes and multi-head CNC centres let us machine heavy components to tight tolerances.
Asset Maintenance and Industrial Services
We plan, resource and execute planned shutdowns and emergency repairs with multidisciplinary crews and documented project packs.
Heat Exchanger Manufacture and Repairs
We manufacture and re-tube shell and tube exchangers, perform hydrotesting and provide full traceability for pressure items.
Mobile Crane Hire Services
Our crane fleet includes all-terrain and slewing cranes and comes with experienced operators and engineered lift plans.
Surface Treatment and Industrial Coatings
In-house abrasive blasting and temperature-assisted spray booths reduce cure times and improve coating quality.
3D Modelling, Design and Project Management
We use Leica RTC360-LT scanning and Autodesk Inventor to create accurate models, DXF outputs and clash-checked fabrication drawings.
Industries We Work With Across Tasmania
The Engineering Company supports a wide range of heavy industry sectors across Tasmania and beyond. Our experience includes mining processing plants, hydropower stations, petroleum and refinery work, water treatment projects and smelter infrastructure. We also deliver specialised fabrication and coating for aquaculture and food processing facilities, and we work with government-owned agencies on critical assets. Our team understands the regulatory, safety and quality demands of each sector and tailors solutions to suit operating environments.
Why Choose The Engineering Company for Industrial Projects
Clients choose The Engineering Company for a single accountable delivery partner that reduces complexity and improves outcomes. We offer CAPEX budget support, methodology development and Microsoft Project-based scheduling to give confidence during planning and procurement phases. Our ISO-certified systems, documented QA and certified welding procedures provide traceability and compliance for regulated work. With strategic locations in Somerset and Hobart, we provide statewide coverage and can coordinate interstate transport and logistics for oversize items.
Featured Projects Demonstrating Heavy Industrial Capability
Our recent projects show the scale and variety of work we can deliver for Tasmanian industry. These include multi-tonne stainless steel heat exchangers for acid plants, hydropower station refurbishments, complex pipework and pressure vessel fabrication for processing plants, and long-length conveyor and ship-loading structures. We also manage plant shutdowns with full supervision, specialist crews and rapid spare manufacture where required. Each project is documented with inspection reports, testing certificates and as-built records to support client handover.
What Our Clients Say About Our Engineering Work
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
On behalf of BPE I'd like to thank you for your assistance on this project, we couldn't have done it without you.

I wanted to let you know that we successfully installed the chutes yesterday, and the flanges fit perfectly. The fabrication was done very well. Now, we'll see how the chutes handle the thermal effects from the furnace. We might need to make a few design tweaks for the next batch. Thanks again for the excellent work!
