PROFLE
Founded in 1983 as a steel fabrication
company, Vulcan Engineering has become a highly experienced
and diversified construction company specialising in
three main disciplines:
With a strong background in the construction
industry, Vulcan Engineering’s management team
combine the above three disciplines to provide clients
with a one-stop shop facility, eliminating the interfacing
that causes expensive down time periods on projects.
Alternatively, these departments are
willing to carry out project works within their own
departments. Therefore Vulcan Engineering will take
on fabrication only packages or erection only packages.
The three department profiles and
previous project experience is detailed on the link
pages.

OPERATIONS
Vulcan Engineering first established
a Perth based presence in a small 1000m2 workshop located
at Egmont Road – Henderson during 1983.
Due to rapid business growth, a new
facility was constructed at Possner Way – Henderson.
This facility has 2600m2 under cover and is situated
on 5 acres of land, servicing the needs of this organisation
for several years.
In the early 90’s the directors
realised the potential of the Jervoise Bay Development
(Australian Marine Complex) and purchased 10 acres of
prime real estate on Cockburn Road (now Quill Way) in
Henderson, overlooking the planned marine park.
By late 1998 a sufficient infrastructure
had been established at the Cockburn Road site to allow
relocation of the operation to our current address.
With over 20,000 m2 of land overlooking
the Australian Marine Complex, there is considerable
opportunity for purpose designed expansion to meet the
ever-changing requirements of our clients. A 2400 m2
workshop is currently under construction behind our
main fabrication building, this building set to become
the Vulcan Engineering Blast & Paint Facility.
Vulcan Engineering still retains ownership
of all the above mentioned property’s which if
required, allows for considerable expansion. The use
of one building as a separate stainless steel fabrication
shop is one option now being considered by senior management.
