Featured project
Underground 1850 Pump
Wilshaw delivered integrated engineering solutions covering the pumping system, electrical and mechanical infrastructure, piping, structural elements and civil works at the Chirano Gold Mine Underground 1850 Pump Station.
Custom escapeways, platforms, walkways, access infrastructure and ventilation systems engineered to improve safety, accessibility and long-term performance in demanding underground environments.
Structural Steel Infrastructure
Engineered frames, supports, shaft steelwork and service infrastructure designed to withstand heavy operational loads while integrating seamlessly with existing mine infrastructure.
Custom Engineered Solutions
From concept sketches to site-specific engineering challenges, we design, certify and supply bespoke steel infrastructure tailored to your operational requirements.
Built for Underground Conditions
Designed to Australian Standards and engineered for demanding underground environments to deliver reliable long-term performance.
Every solution is engineered to suit your site’s layout, operational requirements and existing infrastructure, eliminating the compromises of standard off-the-shelf products.
Our team of mechanical and structural engineers understand the complexities of the mining environment. Backed by over 35 years of experience, when others say it can’t be done, chances are we’ve already done it.
Every solution is developed with installation, maintenance and future operational requirements in mind, helping maximise reliability while reducing future modifications.
Wilshaw continues to support your equipment through inspections, engineering assessments, life-extension recommendations and replacement planning as operational requirements evolve.
Our Promise
Australian made. Engineered for underground mining.
