Australian-Made Fabrication for the Oil and Gas Industry
At Weld East Fabricators, we’ve spent over 40 years delivering specialised steel fabrication solutions to operators, contractors, and maintenance teams across WA’s LNG plants, onshore terminals, and offshore platforms.
Our workshops provide complete oil and gas fabrication capabilities, from pressure vessels and modular skid packages to structural steel platforms and pipeline spools. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium to meet the specific requirements of drilling rigs, processing plants, and storage facilities throughout the Pilbara, Browse Basin, and Northwest Shelf.
Comprehensive Range of Fabrication Services for Oil & Gas Projects
Modular Fabrication and Skid Packages
We design and manufacture complete modular systems that arrive at site ready for installation. Our CNC plasma cutting capabilities handle plate up to 32mm thick, whilst our certified welding procedures ensure every joint meets Industry standards and any class requirements . Shop-built modules reduce on-site construction time by approximately 20 percent compared to field fabrication.
Structural Steel and Platforms
From pipe racks to operator platforms, we fabricate structural steel components that provide safe access and support for your equipment. Our general fabrication services include design assistance, CAD-driven manufacturing, and complete finishing to your specifications.
Pipeline Spools
We manufacture pipeline components to Australian and International standards , with full material traceability and weld documentation. Whether you need pressure piping spools for LNG projects or custom pipeline assemblies, our welding services deliver certified quality.
Storage Tanks and ISO Tank Repairs
Our capabilities extend to storage tank fabrication and the repair of ISO tanks used in chemical and petroleum transport. We assess structural integrity, reinforce wear points, and restore tanks to service at a fraction of replacement cost.
Why Specialised Steel Fabrication Matters to the Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry operates under conditions that few other sectors face. Equipment must withstand extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, and constant vibration whilst maintaining absolute structural integrity. Faulty equipment isn’t just an inconvenience; it creates safety hazards and causes costly downtime that can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars per day.
Meeting safety and quality standards is only half the battle. The rest lies in delivery speed and fabrication accuracy. When your operations depend on custom components arriving on time and fitting perfectly the first time, you need a fabrication partner with proven capabilities and local presence.
Our proximity to Fremantle Port means we can deliver oversize skids and modules to remote gas fields efficiently. We understand that time spent waiting for replacement parts represents an extremely costly inconvenience, which is why we maintain stock of certified plate and prioritise rapid turnaround times.
Meeting Stringent Safety and Quality Standards
Compliance with Australian Standards and international codes isn’t optional in oil and gas fabrication. We maintain welding procedures that meet AS/NZS 1554., ISO and other requirements and can provide quality documentation when specified. Our internal quality assurance processes ensure every component leaves our workshop in specification.
But technical compliance alone doesn’t solve your operational challenges. Natural gas processing requires components that arrive on schedule, fit precisely, and perform reliably in harsh conditions. Our 40-year track record demonstrates our ability to deliver both compliance and practical reliability.
We provide equipment certification services for lifting equipment, access platforms, and other safety-critical components. This one-stop capability eliminates coordination delays between fabricators and certifiers.
Applications Across the Project Life-Cycle
Our oil and gas fabrication services support operations from exploration through to refined products distribution:
- Upstream Operations: Wellhead equipment, separator frames, drill rig components, and structural supports for underground reservoir access equipment.
- Midstream Infrastructure: Pipeline supports, compressor skids, metering stations, and valve assemblies for natural gas transmission systems.
- Downstream Processing: Heat exchanger frames, reactor vessel supports, distillation column platforms, and auxiliary equipment for processing plants.
- Storage and Distribution: Tank farms, loading rack structures, bund walls, and transport equipment for crude oil and refined products.
How Weld East Accelerates Very Rapid Construction and Fast Delivery
Our vertically integrated operations give us better control over timeframes than fabricators who outsource cutting, welding, or finishing. We design, cut, weld, finish, and certify components in our own workshops. This eliminates handover delays and communication gaps.
We’ve built relationships with skilled tradespersons who understand oil and gas requirements. Our team’s experience with complex structures and high safety standards means fewer revisions and faster approvals.
When you need new equipment or replacement components, contact our team to discuss your specifications and timeline. We provide comprehensive quotes that outline deliverables, materials, and schedules clearly.

FAQs
What materials do you use for oil and gas fabrication?
We work with mild steel, structural steel, high-tensile steel, stainless steel (grades 304 and 316), and aluminium. Material selection depends on your application, with corrosion-resistant options for coastal installations and wear-resistant grades for high-abrasion environments.
Can you handle urgent fabrication requirements?
Yes. We maintain stock of certified plate and prioritise urgent projects when needed. Our local presence means we can respond faster than suppliers who rely on interstate or overseas manufacturing.
What certifications do your welders hold?
Our welding team holds current qualifications for the processes and materials we work with, including certifications to AS/NZS 1554 standards, ISO and any other standards as required. We maintain detailed welder qualification records and procedure specifications.
