SHUTDOWNS
Mining shutdowns are essential for maintaining plant and equipment performance. They’re typically planned months in advance, lasting anywhere from a few days to several weeks — depending on the project’s scope.
At Drage Boilermaking Services, we manage shutdown works efficiently and safely, minimising downtime and ensuring all equipment is inspected, serviced, and compliant before operations resume. Our team works seamlessly with your site supervisors to meet tight schedules and deliver precision results.
Whether it’s repairs, replacements, or structural fabrication, we provide the expertise, skilled labour, and equipment to keep your site running at its best.
ON-SITE MAINTENANCE
Unexpected equipment failure can lead to costly delays. Our mobile boilermaking team is equipped to handle on-site repairs, welding, and maintenance anywhere across WA.
We work directly on your mining or processing site, bringing our tools, parts, and expertise to you. From fixing cracked structures to reinforcing load-bearing components, we ensure every repair meets the highest safety and performance standards.
Our technicians are fully trained in mine site procedures and safety compliance, meaning your work gets done properly — and without disrupting your schedule.
EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT REPAIRS
Heavy earthmoving machinery takes a beating in the harsh Australian environment. That’s why we specialise in rebuilding, welding, and reinforcing earthmoving equipment for maximum durability.
We service and repair everything from excavator arms to loader buckets and haul truck trays, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan. Using advanced welding techniques and high-grade materials, we restore your equipment to OEM strength — or better.
MINING TRUCKS
Mining trucks are the backbone of your operation — and they need to perform flawlessly under pressure. Our team handles maintenance, repair, and fabrication for all major truck models.
With our MRB Licence, we can legally and safely perform certified repair work that other operators can’t. Whether it’s a structural crack, frame damage, or tray rebuild, we deliver fast turnarounds and long-lasting results.
Our goal? To get your fleet back on the road quickly and safely — ready to handle the toughest conditions.
CRUSHING PLANT REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
Downtime in your crushing circuit can halt production entirely. Our boilermakers are skilled in crusher repair, liner replacement, and structural reinforcement to keep your plant operating smoothly.
We handle everything from frame welding to component fabrication, ensuring each part fits perfectly and performs efficiently. Our team’s attention to detail and safety-first approach make us a trusted partner for fixed and mobile crushing plants across WA.

We design, fabricate, and repair heavy-duty vehicles built to handle tough mining and transport conditions. Thanks to our MRB Licence, we can complete certified trailer and truck modifications, ensuring compliance and reliability.
