At A&G Price Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering precision-engineered solutions through our robust capabilities in heavy industrial steel and aluminium fabrication. Our expansive 1600m² fabrication workshop, boasting a 20-tonne lifting capacity, is perfectly designed to tackle complex, large-scale projects with both accuracy and efficiency. Whether it’s a challenging refurbishment or a brand-new fabrication, we’re here to support demanding industrial sectors with results that are both reliable and durable.
Our workshop is well-equipped for a variety of processes, including MIG, TIG, Subarc, and Flux Cored welding, along with rolling, guillotining, bending, and precision cutting of both mild and stainless steel. We handle everything from plasma cutting 30mm plates to gas cutting plates that are up to 125mm thick. Additionally, our in-house services encompass stress relieving, wet-spec paint application, and certified non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure that every job meets the highest standards.
But we don’t stop at the workshop. A&G Price also offers responsive on-site services throughout Australia. Our skilled design engineers and mechanical fitters are ready to provide equipment inspections, repairs, and shutdown maintenance for industries like mining, energy, and cement production. We’re frequently called upon for major shutdown work and have earned the trust of leading names across various sectors.
Our mechanical fitting division is backed by over 140 years of industrial expertise. With heavy-duty workshop equipment, including 200-tonne presses and dual 10-tonne overhead cranes, we meticulously rebuild and repair mechanical systems. From rail and marine components to bearings and process plant equipment, we deliver customised solutions supported by a comprehensive archive of engineering drawings.
What Is Heavy Steel Fabrication?
Heavy steel fabrication involves the cutting, forming, welding, assembly, and manufacturing of large steel structures and industrial components used across heavy industries. Heavy fabrication services commonly support:
-
Mining operations
-
Rail infrastructure
-
Industrial processing facilities
-
Energy generation projects
-
Marine engineering applications
-
Large-scale industrial construction
Recent Work
A&G Price's fabrication and heavy engineering capabilities support demanding rail and mining projects across Australia. Our work is in service on passenger rail networks and mine sites today. Here are two projects that show the kind of work we take on and who we do it for.
A&G Price manufactured high-tech railway brake castings for Downer EDI Rail's Sydney PPP project, a 624-carriage rolling stock program, delivering to the precision and reliability standards a major passenger rail contract demands.
Locomotives operating in the Australian mining industry run on six-wheel bogies and matching bolsters manufactured by A&G Price, built to handle the demanding, continuous conditions of mining operations.
