Our Projects

Type of work performed:
Procurement, Logistics, Pre-fabrication, Site Welding and Construction of pipework, valves and fittings.

Service Provided: Construction supervision, McElroy 900, McElroy 500 Dixon 1200 & EF Welding, Loader & Telehandler operators, quality assurance, flange management.

Outcomes:

• Installation of 8km of piping, ranging in sizes from 63mm to 1000mm
• Completion of 300+ integrity welds with full weld traceability.
• Completion of 48 Electrofusion welds to install air breathers
• Complete on schedule and budget with no safety issues or concerns.

“Why SWIP – Responsiveness is critical in today’s business and safety is at a premium within our site. Without the help of SWIP and their highly trained professional team, who contributed and helped deliver high quality work onsite during our Water Treatment Plant relocation, the project wouldn’t have met all targets.”

Type of work performed:
Material sourcing, supply, workshop fabrication and delivery of pipe spools.

Service Provided: Fabrication, butt fusion, extrusion, and Electrofusion welding, Quality Assurance.

Outcomes:

• Fabricated and delivered ~1,300m of pipe spools on schedule and within budget.
• The team achieved a flawless record with zero weld failures.
• Completed 1,900+ manhours with a focus on safety, resulting in no Loss Time Injuries.

“This was a challenging but rewarding project for the team, we overcame multiple schedule, technical and logistical issues, to successfully deliver these complex pipe assemblies on-time and on-budget.”

Type of work performed:

A mining client approached us for a solution to redirect a 710mm water treatment plant discharge line that was going to interfere with mining operations in the near future.

Project constraints included

• A tight timeframe as the pipeline had to be moved asap before it slowed down mining operations
• A limit on the amount of time the discharge line could be out of service
• Ground conditions were challenging with uneven terrain and a significant change in elevation along the new route

Our team were reactive and through collaboration with the client and an earthworks contractor we developed & executed a robust construction plan, which included sourcing the majority of the existing materials from site & relocating the existing pipeline into its new position to keep project costs down. We coordinated the road crossing on active mine haul road to minimise downtime and through our trusted network of local suppliers we were able to source a suitable materials handling equipment at short notice plus mobilise our 1200 Dixon to execute the works.

Outcomes:

Safely & Efficiently redirected 900m of 710mm pipe in 8 days including 1 x road crossings, tie in to existing 710 and 630 pipeline and installation of tapping saddles and air breathers.

Type of work performed:

A mining client approached us to fabricate a new deflector chute.

The client provided a drawing for this one so we were able to quickly turnaround the quote to fabricate the custom 6mm PVC Deflector Chute. Once we received the PO our fabricators used precision cutting tools to cut the PVC sheets into the required shapes and sizes ready for welding. With the use of a jig to assist assembly we then commenced welding the components into the final product.

In line with our ISO 9001 accredited Quality Processes, the Deflector Chute then underwent QAQC inspection to ensure dimensions, weld integrity and appearance are as required before being safely secured to a pallet, labelled up and ready for dispatch.      

Type of work performed:

A farming client approached us to fabricate a flanged suction manifold from PE100, this complex assembly consisted of 3 x concentric reducing tee’s, 3 x 2” BSPT outlets and concentric reducers on either end, one with a 7 degree offset. After a few clarifications with the client our fabricators accurately fabricated the assembly, including the 7 degree offset on the inlet flange using our 315 wold poly fitting and fabrication machine.

The Worldpoly hydraulically operated workshop machine is for the butt-welding of pipes and fittings in PE, PP and other thermoplastic materials. Pivoting clamps allow for the fabrication of segmented bends of different radii. Optional clamps allow the production of bends from 90 to 315mm OD, 90 to 315mm 90 degree equal tees and crosses, and 45 and 60 degree branch tees 90mm to 315mm.
