Full Service Capabilities

Our construction, shutdown & maintenance capability

01

Civil construction

D&S Resources delivers civil construction works across mining, water, energy and industrial projects — from site preparation and earthworks through to concrete, foundations and civil infrastructure.

  • Site preparation, clearing and earthworks
  • Excavation and trenching
  • Concrete formwork, placement and finishing
  • Foundation design and construction
  • Drainage, stormwater and civil services
  • Road and hardstand construction and maintenance
  • Civil works in support of structural and mechanical scopes
02

Structural & mechanical construction

We deliver structural and mechanical installation works as standalone scopes or integrated within a broader SMP delivery — including steel erection, equipment setting and mechanical fit-out across mining processing facilities, energy infrastructure and industrial plants.

  • Structural steel erection and installation
  • Equipment setting, alignment and grouting
  • Mechanical equipment installation and commissioning
  • Conveyor, chute and materials handling installation
  • Vessel and tank installation
  • Modifications and tie-ins on operational plant
  • Pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover support
03

Shutdown & turnaround services

Planned shutdowns are among the highest-risk, highest-cost windows in any mining or processing operation. D&S Resources approaches shutdown delivery with the planning discipline and mobilisation speed that tight windows demand — getting in, completing scope safely, and returning plant to production on time.

  • Shutdown planning and scope development support
  • Rapid mobilisation of trades and supervision
  • Structural, mechanical and piping shutdown works
  • Equipment inspection, repair and replacement
  • Refractory and lining works coordination
  • Leak repair and integrity management
  • Weld repairs and on-site fabrication
  • Post-shutdown inspection and documentation

We work within your shutdown window — not around it. Our teams are experienced in working extended hours, rotating shifts and compressed schedules to meet production restart deadlines.

04

Ongoing maintenance

Beyond shutdown windows, D&S Resources provides ongoing maintenance services across structural, mechanical and piping assets — helping clients manage asset integrity, minimise unplanned downtime and extend the operating life of critical plant.

  • Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programmes
  • Corrective and breakdown maintenance response
  • Piping integrity inspections and repairs
  • Structural inspections and remediation works
  • Mechanical equipment servicing and overhaul
  • Maintenance reporting and asset management support
  • Long-term maintenance contracts and service level agreements
05

Piping & plumbing maintenance

Maintenance of piping systems — particularly in corrosive, high-pressure or remote environments — requires specialist capability and the right materials expertise. D&S’s piping trades are experienced in maintenance, repair and modification of carbon steel, stainless, HDPE and poly piping systems across live operating environments.

  • Piping inspections and integrity assessments
  • Leak detection and repair
  • Hot and cold bolting and joint maintenance
  • Valve maintenance, repair and replacement
  • HDPE and poly pipe repair and modification
  • Pressure testing and system integrity verification
06

Electrical & instrumentation

D&S Resources coordinates electrical and instrumentation works as part of integrated construction and maintenance scopes — working with qualified E&I subcontractors or alongside client-nominated electrical contractors to deliver complete project packages.

  • E&I installation in support of mechanical and piping scopes
  • Instrumentation installation and loop checking
  • MCC and switchgear installation coordination
  • Commissioning support and pre-start assistance
