Structural Steel Fabrication
RPM designs, fabricates, and installs structural steel components to support plant upgrades, modifications, and expansions. All fabrication work is completed to meet relevant Australian Standards and site-specific safety requirements.
Our structural capabilities include:
- Plant platforms and access walkways
- Conveyor frames and support structures
- Crusher and screening plant support frames
- Hoppers, chutes, and bins
- Safety guarding and handrails
- Structural reinforcements and plant upgrades
We can manage projects from concept and site measure through to fabrication, installation, and final commissioning support.
Custom Plant Modifications & Upgrades
Recycling and material processing plants often require modifications to improve efficiency, safety, or throughput. RPM works closely with site managers and operators to design and implement practical plant improvements.
This includes:
- Retrofitting and upgrading existing structures
- Guarding modifications to meet compliance requirements
- Strengthening of high-wear or high-stress areas
- Custom chute redesign to reduce blockages and wear
- Plant reconfiguration during shutdowns
Our goal is to deliver solutions that are not only structurally sound but operationally efficient.
