Workshop Repairs & Rebuilds

Our Broken Hill mechanical workshops handle everything from a single repair through to a complete machine overhaul.

Working off site gives our trades clean conditions, lifting equipment and time to do the job properly, which usually means a longer-lasting repair.

What we take on

  • Individual mechanical repairs
  • Progressive repairs across a fleet
  • Full machine overhauls and rebuilds
  • Repairs to underground and surface mobile plant
  • Repairs for local business and heavy industry equipment

How a workshop job runs

Assessment

The machine is inspected and the required work identified, including anything found beyond the original complaint.

Agreed scope

You approve the scope and cost before work starts, and we report back if the scope changes.

Repair and return

Mechanical, hydraulic and electrical work is completed in house. Major units can be sent through our Component Rebuild Centre as part of the same job.

One provider for the whole repair

Most machine repairs cross trades. Having fitters, auto electricians and boilermakers under one roof avoids handovers between contractors.

Who we work with

Mines, contractors, transport operators and local businesses in Broken Hill, Silverton, Menindee, Wilcannia, Cobar, Nyngan and across Far West NSW.

Workshop repair questions

Do you only work on mining equipment?

No. We support local businesses and heavy industry as well as mine sites.

Can you do the work on our site instead?

Yes, where the job suits field service. Our site maintenance crews can carry out the work in place.

How do you handle unexpected findings?

We stop, report and get your approval before continuing, so the cost stays under your control.
