HWE Mining has the unique capacity to provide specialist maintenance services to mine owners through our Maintenance Services division.

Following the acquisition of Portside Fabrication and Australian Mine Services, HWE Maintenance Services is now able to provide a complete range of in-house expertise in steel fabrication and engineering work as well as shutdown management services, complete conveyor belt management, plant upgrades and modifications, and project work - all under one roof.

With operations based in Newman, Karratha and Paraburdoo, HWE Maintenance Services is the leading provider of maintenance services to the mining industry, particularly in Western Australia's Pilbara region.

Working alongside mine owners, HWE Maintenance Services can project manage planned shutdown maintenance, providing line planners and supervisors with cost-effective, multi-site solutions for shutdown maintenance. This expertise extends to the management of planned and routine maintenance outages, upgrading of existing plant, capital replacement, and conveyor belt splicing, inspection and repair.

In addition, HWE Maintenance Services excels in providing heavy earthmoving equipment fabrication, engineering and welding services to the mining industry, with special emphasis on bucket and tray rebuilding and repairs.

Understanding that the provision of skilled personnel familiar with mining operations and expected standards is a key contributor for optimised plant availability and productivity, the HWE Maintenance Services workforce comes complete with supervision and tools. Wherever possible, the same maintenance personnel return to site, helping to reduce lost time and optimise efficiencies.
