Capability Highlights in Steel Fabrication
Our fabrication capabilities cover every stage of a project, making us a trusted partner for clients in mining, hydropower, processing and water treatment. We provide in-house 3D modelling and drafting, ensuring workshop drawings are precise and practical. Our CNC profile cutting of plates, machine shop services and development of welding procedure qualifications are all carried out in compliance with Australian standards. Beyond fabrication, we manage trial assembly, QA documentation, transport logistics and site erection, providing an integrated service that reduces delays and risks. This end-to-end delivery means fewer contractors, streamlined project management and accountability from start to finish.
Heavy and Structural Steel Fabrications for Industrial Projects
The Engineering Company has extensive experience in producing heavy and structural steel fabrications for a wide range of industries. For the water treatment sector, we manufacture robust piping, tanks and steel modules to withstand demanding conditions. Our work in hydropower generation includes precision fabrication of turbine housings, supporting structures and large-scale pressure vessels. In the mining and smelting industries, we build structural steel, conveyors, bins, hoppers and processing equipment that are built to last in harsh environments. We also fabricate bridges and marine and industrial structures, demonstrating our versatility across multiple applications. Each project is backed by certified welding procedures, inspection records and strict QA/QC systems.
Our Fabrication Workshop and Equipment
Our workshops in Somerset and Hobart are designed to handle projects of every scale, from smaller precision components to oversized industrial modules. We operate several machining centres with capacities of 8 tonnes, 10 tonnes and 12 tonnes, as well as horizontal and vertical borers capable of handling up to 10 tonnes. Our facilities also include lathes, milling machines, slotting machines and CNC profile cutters, which allow us to produce highly accurate components for complex assemblies. The combination of fabrication and machining under one roof enables us to fabricate, then machine for accuracy, reducing rework and ensuring better fit during installation. This integration not only improves quality but also shortens delivery schedules for our clients.

Steel Fabrication FAQs
Can you scan existing structures and model proposals?
Yes. We provide 3D scanning and modelling services to create accurate workshop drawings, ensuring new fabrications integrate seamlessly with existing structures.
What maximum sizes and weights can you fabricate?
We have delivered oversized modules such as tanks, hoppers, conveyors and crane girders. Our workshops and equipment allow us to handle heavy and overlength components with ease.
Do you provide on-site erection and installation?
Yes. We provide cranage, rigging and site crews to install steel structures safely and efficiently on client sites.
What standards do you work to?
We work to AS/NZS structural and pressure codes or adapt to specific client requirements where needed.
Do you recommend trial assembly?
Yes. Trial assembly is recommended for complex structures, as it reduces site risks and ensures components fit as intended.
What surface finishes do you provide?
We offer abrasive blasting, priming and multi-coat industrial paint systems in-house, with galvanising and powder coating available through trusted partners.
What are typical lead times?
Lead times depend on project scope, material availability and workshop workload. We work closely with clients to meet agreed deadlines and offer transparent scheduling.
