We are contracted by Royal Wolf to complete on site repairs and maintenance all over Victoria CBD and Regional areas. This consists of installs, repairs, flooring upgrades, lockbox fitting and repairing, levelling of containers, damaged doors, repair hole punches, rust and painting. We have also done installs at Melbourne Airport, Defence force, border protection and in and around Victoria.

We have been contracted on numerous occasions to complete boom stacker repairs or replace large sections of steel that other companies cannot. We have saved our customers over $100,000’s of dollars with repairs, rather than replacing the whole boom stacker from overseas suppliers. No Job is too BIG or too SMALL at Boncon Group.

This technique is most often used on the pins and axles of large equipment such as cranes, ships and forklifts. The process is to remove seized pins with a specialized procedure. It can destroy the pin but the hole is undamaged. We can safely cut out any pin in any position, at any height.

Boncon Group can modify containers into portable café’s and canteens. As shown in the picture we fabricated a hydraulic door that can open and close for easy entry. The hydraulic system can work off 240 volt power system. The customer required air vents for complete ventilation and fitted awnings. These types of modifications can sometimes be completed on site.

Boncon Group offer a comprehensive on-site inspection and testing service covering all lifting and rigging equipment (chains, slings, winches, hoists etc). Inspections are conducted by our qualified staff and reports provided detailing current status of all equipment. Boncon will program regular inspections and tests in accordance with relevant Australian and International Standards. Click here for more information.

A structural welder is a skilled worker who creates frames or skeletons for large structures such as buildings and machinery.. A structural welder must undergo extensive training to learn how to weld materials together safely and effectively.

Welding may be performed in many different environments, including in open air, under water and small confined areas.

We use these procedures to cut steel into shapes and to gouge out cracks for re-welding. We also need to complete pre and post heating techniques to high grade steel so that welding does not affect the structure of the steel. Example: Water and Ice (There is a join though you can’t see it, this is a cracking point if steel is not pre /post heated).

TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. TIG welding is mostly used for critical weld joints, welding metals other than common steel, and where precise, small welds are needed. This process is slow but when done right it produces the highest quality weld!

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, is a process that was developed in the 1940s for welding aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. The primary advantage of MIG welding is that it allows metal to be welded much more quickly than traditional stick welding techniques.

An arc welding process uses a continuously fed consumable electrode that contains flux at its core that melts the base metals at the joint. Upon cooling, the welded joint is often stronger than the base metals.

Similar to MIG welding, SAW involves formation of an arc between a continuously-fed bare wire electrode and the workpiece. The process uses a flux to generate protective gases and slag, and to add alloying elements to the weld pool. A shielding gas is not required.

Flux-cored arc welding(FCAW) - almost identical to MIG welding except it uses a special tubular wire filled with flux; it can be used with or without shielding gas, depending on the filler.
