Machine Fitting and Fabrication
Machine Fitting and Fabrication
Mechanical fitting of equipment and systems by minimising downtime and implementing cost-effective strategies for maintenance.
Pipework and tubing including:
- Tube bending through to major plant rebuilds.
- Installation and maintenance of pipe and tube systems.
- Flexible conduit installation.
- Swagelok instrument tubing.
The team brings extensive experience and high-level skills in working with pipe and tube systems in:
- Stainless steel piping, seamless and welded pipe are used in all industries where corrosion resistance is required.
- PE piping, Polyethylene (PE) pipe, is a cost-effective solution for drinking water, irrigation, mining, gas lines, sewerage and drainage systems.
- PVC piping, Polyvinyl Chloride, PVC pressure pipes are manufactured from PVC resin compounded with stabilisers, lubricants and pigments, widely used for irrigation and water supply for domestic and commercial applications.
- UPVC piping, Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride Polymer or PVC-U pipes offer a range of crucial benefits for use across the water industry, including strength that ensures a long service life in water applications.
- CPVC piping, Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride, chemical resistant and superior in high-temperature ratings.
- ABS piping, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), is a thermoplastic polymer piping system suited to marine, cooling/refrigeration and many industrial applications.

Recent Machine Fitting and Fabrication Projects
Temporary Storage Water Tanks at a WTP
Scope of works was the supply and install three water tanks and associated piping for temporary storage while work was carried out on the roof on the main storage reservoir at the water treatment plant.
Membrane Loading Installation/Replacement
Metal Maintenance recently used an innovative system and methodology to replaced over 3,400 2nd pass, and over 13,300 1st pass Reverse Osmosis Membranes at the Gold Coast Desalination Plant.
Refurbishment of Intake Screen at a WPS
The refurbishment of these 2 intake screens will allow the plant to continue to meet the required performance to provide a reliable and long-term system for effectively collecting debris in the raw water intake tunnels.
Gravity Thickener Refurbishment at WWTP
Metal Maintenance were contracted by Veolia Water to dismantle and refurbish the gravity thickener, this included the servicing the drive gearbox at Luggage Point Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Water Reservoirs Roof Gutters and Stormwater
Metal Maintenance designed and constructed roof gutters and stormwater systems for 2 water reservoirs. Also included in the scope of works was flooring replacement at the adjacent water pump station.
Repair Filter Outlet Assemblies at a WTP
The filter outlet pipework assembly and isolation valve spindles at a water treatment plant required replacement. There was varying levels of corrosion and some surfaces are not coated to prevent corrosion.
