for duty.
Why Milcon
Built for
hard conditions.
Mining and industrial sites are tough on steelwork. We fabricate to your drawings and specifications, with experienced welders and fabricators who know that parts need to fit first time and keep working under load, vibration and abrasion.
Laser cutting, fabrication, sandblasting and powder coating all happen in our facility, so your job stays with one team from the first cut to the final coat. That means fewer hand-offs, tighter control over quality and less time lost between suppliers.
- Built to your drawings
- Once-off & repeat runs
- Repairs & modifications
- Cut, blast & coat in-house

Do you do work for mines and plants?
Yes. We fabricate chutes, guards, platforms, brackets, frames and replacement steelwork for mining, industrial and manufacturing clients.
Can you repair or modify existing steelwork?
Yes. Send us photos and a description of the problem and we'll advise whether to repair, modify or replace.
Can you finish fabricated items?
Yes. Sandblasting and powder coating are done in our facility, and our 5 m oven lets us coat long frames and beams in one piece.
Do you take once-off and batch orders?
Yes. We build once-off items and prototypes as well as repeat and batch orders.
How long does fabrication take?
