Fabrication & Modification
Structural and plate fabrication, plant modifications and repairs Henderson workshop and site crews across WA.
Steel Fabrication and Plant Modifications Across Perth and Western Australia
Maintenance rarely means replacing like with like. Worn chutes need thicker liners, walkways need extending, a pump needs a new base frame, a conveyor guard needs redesigning.
IPC Maintenance’s Henderson workshop fabricates structural steel, plate work, platforms, guards, frames, chutes and brackets, and our site crews carry out the modification measure-up, fabricate, remove the old, fit the new as one scope. Every item is built to the engineer’s drawings and Australia’s structural steel standards, so it fits first time and lasts.
The Problems We Solve
Spare parts that are obsolete, on long lead times or simply not available we reverse-engineer and fabricate them reliably.
Plant that has outgrown its original design: access platforms, guards and structures that need extending or strengthening.
Worn, cracked or badly corroded components (chutes, hoppers, skirts, frames) causing unexpected downtime and holding up production.
Fabricators who build in isolation and leave unexpected, costly fit-up, alignment, access and installation problems for the site team.
Shutdown scopes where fabrication and installation are split across multiple separate contractors, causing unnecessary project delays.
What We Do / What's Included
We deliver complete fabrication solutions, from structural steel and platework to reverse engineering, installation, coatings, and quality documentation.
- Structural steel fabrication beams, columns, platforms, stairs, handrails, walkways and support frames.
- Plate work chutes, hoppers, bins, skirts, wear liners, guards and tanks.
- Reverse engineering and replacement of obsolete or damaged components.
- Site measure-up, shop drawings and engineering coordination.
- Modification projects removal, fabrication, installation and commissioning as one scope.
- Blasting and protective coating of fabricated items before delivery (via our in-house coatings team).
- Stainless steel and aluminium fabrication.
- Quality documentation material certificates, weld records and inspection test plans.
Australian Standards & Policies We Align With

Inspection test plans and documentation for every fabricated item.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about our fabrication services, including reverse engineering, installation, materials, welding, coatings, qualifications, urgent work, and quoting.
Yes - at 35 Sparks Road, Henderson, in WA's marine and industrial precinct.
Yes. We measure and reverse-engineer worn or obsolete components, produce drawings for your approval, and fabricate.
That's the preferred model-our site crews remove the old item and install the new one, with our own scaffold, rigging and welding.
Structural carbon steel, plate and wear-resistant plate as standard.
Yes - traceable mill certificates, welder qualifications, weld maps and inspection test plans are available for every job.
Fabrication is the finished item cut, formed, assembled and welded. Our Specialised Welding page covers welding as a standalone service (repairs, pipe, coded work) where no new item is being built.
We blast and coat in-house and arrange hot-dip galvanising through a local galvaniser where specified.
Yes - shutdown and breakdown fabrication is a core part of the business. Call 1300 419 757 and we'll advise a realistic turnaround.
Our boilermakers are trade-qualified and our welders are qualified to the relevant AS/NZS 1554 procedures.
