  • Mechanical work and machining for vessels and plant equipment

Certified welding and fabrication for harsh conditions

Vessels and equipment are subjected to heavy use, so certified welding and robust fabrication keep them working reliably. Only welders with current tickets handle your job, and every weld is checked before it leaves. Tickets are renewed every six months where needed, so the right skills are always on the job.

Whether it is deck frames, pipework or plant structures, everything lines up with the proper certification. That means fewer repeat fixes and your kit is always compliant. You get as standard:
  • Welds and fabrication ready for salt air, heavy knocks and pressure
  • Materials chosen for how they stand up to tough use, not just for looks
  • Every job checked and signed off for safety every time
People on the job are trained for confined spaces, heights and specialist plant, so the work meets real safety standards. Training is kept up, so there are no shortcuts.

If you also need
conveyor belting repairs or specialist fasteners, those can be sorted on site.

Round-the-clock response for breakdowns and urgent repairs

Breakdowns do not wait for working hours. Any time, day or night – weekends and public holidays included – your call gets an answer. If a vessel turns up at midnight or plant breaks down mid-shift, downtime is kept short. You keep your operation moving because:
  • Calls are answered 24-7 across Nelson and the surrounding area
  • The right person with the right tools gets sent out, not just whoever is free
  • Repairs and fabrication are arranged to fit your schedule, not the other way round
Quick repairs get you back to work without long waits.

Additional
marine provedoring services can be arranged for long trips.

  • Local know-how about what trips people up and how to keep things moving
