Marine repair that gets vessels back in the water
Humpty Doo Welding and Fabrication delivers marine fabrication & repair across Groote Eylandt and the Northern Territory. Groote Eylandt's GEMCO manganese operation and port logistics rely on mobilised crews for structural and marine repairs. We mobilise from our Humpty Doo base with fully-equipped rigs, bringing the same coded welding and fabrication standards to Groote Eylandt that we are known for Territory-wide.
Steel and aluminium hull repairs, pontoon work and structural welding for commercial vessels, barges and marine infrastructure. We work afloat, on the slipway and in dry dock, with 24/7 breakdown response when you’re down.
Keel, skeg, rudder, deck and plate work, plus corrosion-resistant treatments built for saltwater service. Accredited welders and one accountable team from haul-out to handover.

Welding & fabrication in Groote Eylandt, NT
Groote Eylandt, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is home to one of the world's largest manganese operations, along with its port and barge fleet. Island logistics mean structural, marine and wear work has to be planned and executed without the usual mainland support.
We bring crews and rigs across for manganese-plant structural maintenance, hardfacing and marine repair, scheduled around barge and shutdown windows. Durable, documented work that survives both the trip and the service life is the whole point.
