Steel Fabrication and Construction Done Right: The Full-Service Expertise of Metro Steel Fabrication WA

A Proud History in Steel

At Metro Steel Fabrication WA (MSFWA), we’ve spent the last three decades building a reputation as one of the most respected names in steel fabrication and construction across Western Australia. Founded in 1993 and formerly known as Metro Lintels Steel Fabrication, our company has evolved from a local steel service into a full-scale SMP fabrication leader, supporting critical infrastructure and heavy industry across the Pilbara, Gascoyne, and metro WA regions.

Whether you need structural steel fabrication, custom metal fabrication, modular construction, or mining maintenance, we’re the name businesses across WA trust for safe, innovative, and cost-effective results.


Our Core Services: From Steel Fabrication to Engineering Excellence

We’re more than a fabricator—we’re a complete project partner. Our multidisciplinary teams offer end-to-end project support from initial scanning and design right through to delivery and installation. 

Our integrated solutions span the full project lifecycle — from scanning, engineering, design, and detailing, through to fabrication, trial fit-ups, and surface treatments.

We’re proud to deliver the following service divisions:

  • Steel Fabrication
  • Mining Maintenance
  • Construction & Modularisation
  • Engineering, Design & Drafting
  • Wear System Solutions

Let’s break each of these down so you can see exactly what makes MSFWA the top choice for industrial and commercial steel projects in Western Australia.


Steel Fabrication Services

As a market leader in steel fabrication, we combine automated CNC technology with a deep well of experience to deliver efficient, high-precision results. Our workshops are equipped with automated beamlines capable of handling welded beams up to 1,200mm.

Our steel fabrication capabilities include:

  • Automated Processing – Robotic CNC machines process steel directly from NC files with pinpoint precision.
  • Fabrication & Fit-Up – From stick steel to complex modules, we assemble everything to spec.
  • Welding – We’re an SCA/CC3 compliant fabricator with accredited Cert 10 for CSWIP welding staff.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Partnering with independent NDT inspectors ensures reliable quality checks daily.
  • Surface Treatment – Long-standing partnerships with galvanisers and paint applicators across WA.
  • Trial / Mock Fit-Ups – We preassemble components before delivery for full assurance.

Need rapid steel fabrication? We can handle stick steel fabrication through to complex modules, always prioritising quality, compliance, and safety. 

Whether it’s a fast turnaround for critical shutdowns or long-term projects requiring structural steel fabrication, our clients trust us to deliver.


Mining Maintenance

The mining industry never sleeps—and neither do we when our clients need support. 

Mining operations across WA rely on us for fast and effective maintenance of essential plant structures. We offer structural and mechanical maintenance for:

  • Chutes, conveyors, ROM beams
  • Crushing and screening structures
  • Pipe spooling, platforms, handrails
  • Grating, conveyor supports, frames, and towers

From onsite structural and mechanical maintenance to full piping repairs and upgrades, we help mining operations across the Pilbara and Gascoyne regions keep their machines moving and crews safe.

We also offer 3D scanning and condition monitoring, giving you a clearer picture of asset integrity and allowing you to plan maintenance well before breakdowns happen.


Construction & Modularisation

One of the safest and most efficient ways to build today is to construct off-site and install on-site. Our modularisation services allow large structures like conveyor trusses, bins, and hoppers to be fabricated, assembled, and pre-fitted in our Bibra Lake facilities—reducing on-site risks and delays.

Modularisation services include:

  • Large Structure Fabrication – Fabrication, machining, welding, NDT, and post-weld heat treatments.
  • Surface Treatment & Rubber Lining – Galvanising, painting & rubber lining services that meet your specifications and requirements.
  • Assembly & Fit-Out – From handrails to conveyor parts and lighting detectors.
  • Mechanical & Electrical Commissioning – Centre of Gravity (COG) checks, load cell testing, fit-outs of rip detectors, and walkway lighting, etc.
  • Packaging & Logistics – Lift studies, pilot permits, traffic management, barcode tracking, and more.

We fully modularise conveyor trusses, bins, hoppers, and integrate liners, idlers, lighting poles, and walkways during fabrication to minimise on-site activity.


Engineering, Design & Drafting

We pair cutting-edge technology with expert drafting to deliver accurate models and shop drawings that streamline installation and reduce project delays.

Capabilities Include:

  • 3D Laser Scanning – Detect on-site deviations and enable condition monitoring for maintenance planning.
  • CAD Drawings & 3D Modelling – TEKLA 3D drafting software is used by our in-house team.
  • TEKLA Detailing – For structural, mechanical, and piping projects.
  • CNC Machinery – Boosts planning efficiency and just-in-time delivery.
  • BIM Compliance – Improves cross-team collaboration and design accuracy.

Our in-house drafting capacity means you’re never waiting around for outsourced drawings — everything is done under one roof.

Need to retrofit existing infrastructure? Our scanning and modelling service is ideal for brownfield sites needing real-world clarity.


Wear System Solutions (WSS)

Heavy-duty industry environments come with heavy-duty wear. That’s why we’ve partnered with Wear System Solutions (WSS), a WA-based manufacturer of ceramic liners, polymer coatings, and skirt protection designed to extend the life of your assets.

We supply and install:

  • Ceramic Liners – Made with high-density Saint-Gobain ceramics from the USA.
  • Treat & Skirt Liners – ‘Zero Tile’ design prevents premature conveyor belt damage.
  • Magma Spray – Polyurea coating that cures in seconds, perfect for ultra-high wear areas.
  • 3D Scanning & Modelling – Used to improve production efficiency and reduce downtime.
  • Fabrication & Installation – Delivered from our Bibra Lake facility with a focus on safety and shutdown scheduling.
  • Direct Bonding – Cost-effective surface protection for steel assets.

We provide WSS solutions across the entire WA region with rapid turnaround times and top-grade materials. All liners and wear systems are custom-fitted in our WA facility, ensuring faster delivery and better integration.


Investing in Technology for Better Results

One of the reasons Metro Steel Fabrication WA stands out is our commitment to investing in the latest steel fabrication and machining technology. We utilise:

  • Robotic CNC machines that eliminate human error
  • State-of-the-art welding systems, regularly revalidated by CSWIP-accredited personnel
  • Automated scanning and detailing platforms, reducing costly on-site rework
  • Environmentally conscious CNC machinery that helps cut waste and improve efficiency

From structural steel fabrication to fine mechanical fit-outs, our tools are built to handle the job—and to do it faster, safer, and more cost-effectively.


Safety, Quality & Compliance First

We operate under the principle that nothing is more important than safety and quality.

  • All projects undergo rigorous inspection and third-party NDT testing
  • Our staff are trained to the highest industry standards, including Cert 10 CSWIP
  • Welding and fabrication processes are SCA/CC3-compliant
  • Surface treatments are carried out through WA’s most trusted galvanisers and coaters

We also maintain full compliance with Building Information Modelling (BIM) protocols, providing clients with confidence across every phase of design, documentation, and delivery.
