Metal fabrication in Adelaide, SA

Since 1998, Williams Metal Fabrications has grown into one of South Australia’s established metal fabrication businesses, with a team of more than 60 specialists supporting major defence, utility, mining, marine, civil and construction projects.

Family-owned and operated, we’ve worked on many of the state’s most significant infrastructure projects, building a reputation for quality workmanship, reliability and finding practical solutions to complex challenges.

Our people are at the heart of our business. Our highly skilled team includes experienced boilermakers, welders and riggers, many with specialist qualifications and licences. We’re also proud that many of our employees have been with us for years, bringing valuable experience and knowledge to every project.

Our services extend well beyond metal fabrication. From 3D site scanning and steel detailing through to robotic welding, fabrication, installation, onsite maintenance and specialist equipment hire, we offer an extensive range of capabilities to support our clients.

But whatever the project, our approach remains the same: Going above and beyond for our clients. Whether that means developing a solution to a complex fabrication challenge, responding to an urgent request or sending our people to a remote location, we take a hands-on, practical approach to getting the job done.

We understand the importance of quality, reliability and responsiveness, particularly on complex projects where priorities can change quickly. Our clients know they can depend on us to deliver, work collaboratively and find solutions when challenges arise.

Onsite Services

BOATS

We can carry out onsite welding, repairs and maintenance – both on land and on the water – via our commercial work boats, complete with certified operator.  Our tough aluminium boats offer exceptional stability and load capacity, and can operate in extremely shallow water. At 6.2 metres and 7.3 metres, our two boats can hold scaffolding, generators and welders, and our licenced coxswain enables us to perform inspections, repairs and installation from the water.

CRANE TRUCK

A 5.8 tonne crane truck is available for clients to hire – a resource that is especially beneficial when site access and unloading is difficult.  We can also supply a dedicated driver, as many of our staff are licensed to operate the vehicle.
