FABRICATION

Built From Steel.
Built for the Work.

CBU Engineering undertakes heavy and general fabrication for mining, industrial, commercial and custom engineering applications — from structural components and machinery parts to repair sections, assemblies and purpose-built steelwork.

FABRICATION CAPABILITY

From Heavy Components to Custom Steelwork.

CBU Engineering fabricates components, assemblies and steelwork for mining, industrial, commercial and general engineering applications.

The work can range from replacement sections and heavy machinery components to structural steelwork, supports, brackets, frames and purpose-built fabricated assemblies.

01
HEAVY FABRICATION

Heavy Components

Fabricated components and assemblies for heavy machinery, equipment repairs and demanding operational environments.

  • Heavy plate components
  • Machinery structures
  • Replacement sections
  • Large fabricated assemblies
02
STRUCTURAL FABRICATION

Frames & Steelwork

Fabrication of structural frames, supports and steelwork for equipment, industrial installations and general engineering applications.

  • Frames and support structures
  • Mounting structures
  • Brackets and supports
  • Fabricated steel assemblies
03
REPAIR FABRICATION

Repair & Replacement Sections

New sections can be fabricated where damaged or worn parts of an existing structure need to be removed and replaced.

  • Plate replacement
  • Structural inserts
  • Rebuilt mounting areas
  • Replacement fabricated sections
04
CUSTOM FABRICATION

Built for the Requirement

When an off-the-shelf component does not fit the application, CBU can fabricate purpose-built steel components and assemblies around the actual requirement.

  • Custom brackets
  • Equipment modifications
  • Purpose-built assemblies
  • General engineering fabrication
THE FABRICATION PRINCIPLE
The fabrication follows the application. From replacement steelwork to completely custom assemblies, the work is built around what the equipment, structure or project actually requires.
FROM PLATE TO FINISHED ASSEMBLY

Fabrication That Becomes Part of the Machine.

Fabrication is more than cutting and joining steel. The finished component has to become a working part of the equipment, structure or project it was built for.

CBU Engineering undertakes fabrication from individual replacement sections through to substantial assemblies for mining, industrial and general engineering applications.

FABRICATION IN PROGRESS

Built Up From the Requirement.

New components and assemblies are built around the geometry, loading, fitment and practical requirements of the application. The result may be a replacement section, a structural assembly or a completely purpose-built fabricated component.

HEAVY COMPONENTS

Plate Becomes Structure.

Heavy plate, sections and fabricated details are combined into components capable of becoming part of larger machinery, structures and engineered assemblies.

FINISHED ASSEMBLIES

Built to Go Back to Work.

Fabricated work can form part of repairs, equipment rebuilds, new installations or custom projects where a robust steel solution is required.

FABRICATION PROCESS

From Requirement to Finished Fabrication.

Fabrication starts with understanding what the component, structure or assembly needs to do. From there, the work moves through preparation, fabrication, assembly and completion.

The exact sequence depends on the application, geometry and extent of the work, but the objective remains the same: build a practical steel solution around the actual requirement.

01
DEFINE

Understand the Requirement

Establish what must be fabricated, how it integrates with the surrounding equipment or structure, and what the finished component needs to achieve.

02
PREPARE

Prepare the Material

Steel plate, sections and component parts are prepared for the fabrication work required by the assembly.

03
BUILD

Fabricate the Components

Individual parts are formed, positioned and fabricated into the required structural or mechanical assembly.

04
ASSEMBLE

Build the Assembly

Fabricated sections are brought together into the complete component, structure or purpose-built assembly.

05
INTEGRATE

Fit the Requirement

Where the work forms part of a repair, rebuild or equipment modification, the fabricated component is prepared to integrate with the existing structure.

06
COMPLETE

Finish the Fabrication

The completed fabrication is prepared for installation, return to service or the next stage of the engineering project.

PRACTICAL FABRICATION
Built around the application — not around a template. The material, geometry and fabrication method follow what the finished component or structure needs to do.
INTEGRATED ENGINEERING CAPABILITY

Fabrication Does Not Work in Isolation.

Many fabrication projects form part of a larger engineering requirement. A fabricated component may also need machining, structural integration, wear protection or installation as part of a repair or rebuild.

CBU Engineering can combine these capabilities where the job requires more than fabrication alone.

01 STRUCTURAL WORK

Fabrication + Structural Repair

New steelwork can replace damaged sections, restore structural areas or form part of larger repair and reinforcement work.

Replacement sections Structural inserts Repair assemblies
02 PRECISION SUPPORT

Fabrication + Machining

Fabricated assemblies can be supported by machining where interfaces, mounts, bores or component details require additional engineering work.

Machined interfaces Mounting points Component integration
03 WEAR MANAGEMENT

Fabrication + Wear Solutions

Components operating in abrasive or high-wear environments can form part of a wider wear-management strategy where additional protection is required.

Wear areas Replaceable sections Heavy-use components
04 REBUILD SUPPORT

Fabrication + Equipment Rebuilds

New fabricated components can be incorporated into larger machinery repairs, refurbishment work and heavy equipment rebuild projects.

ONE PROJECT
Fabricate what is needed. Integrate what the job requires. CBU's broader workshop and field capability allows fabrication to form part of complete repair, modification and engineering projects.
