Mine Maintenance in Groote Eylandt
Structural repairs, component upgrades and hardfacing for excavators, loaders, crushers and heavy mining equipment.
Keeping heavy mining gear in the cut
Humpty Doo Welding and Fabrication delivers mine maintenance 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.
Breakdowns don't keep business hours. Our mine maintenance crews deliver structural repairs, hardfacing and component upgrades for excavators, loaders, crushers, conveyors and haul fleets — on site, around the clock, wherever the work is.
We scale to planned shutdowns and emergency callouts alike, with accredited welders, mobile rigs and a fully-equipped workshop behind them. One accountable team from first cut to sign-off.

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.
