PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL COMPANY: A WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SUCCESS STORY PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL COMPANY (PIC) IS A WONDERFUL WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SUCCESS STORY OF VISION, HARD WORK AND COURAGE. FOUNDED IN 1969 BY ERASMO MOSOLE AND HIS PARTNERS, MUCH OF THE COMPANY’S GROWTH OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS HAS BEEN IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO DEVELOPMENTS IN THE OVERALL DOMESTIC STATE ECONOMY. FROM EARLY DAYS AS A PARTNER OF THOSE SERVICING THE WHEATBELT’S PRIMARY PRODUCERS, THROUGH YEARS OF RAPID EXPANSION IN THE RESOURCES AND ENERGY SECTORS TO THE LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF CURRENT TIMES, PIC HAS POSITIONED ITSELF AS A LEADING STEEL FABRICATION, MAINTENANCE, CONSTRUCTION AND MODULARISATION ORGANISATION.
PIC provides full design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning to the commercial, infrastructure and resources sectors Australia wide. Located in the Kwinana heavy industrial area, PIC’s workshops are equipped for all types of fabrication, construction and modularisation services. Their main Naval Base facility is situated just 5km from the Australian Marine Complex (AMC) Common User Facility and boasts over 43,000m2 of undercover fabrication facilities, as well as 120,000m2 of laydown area. Their facilities are equipped with over 45 overhead cranes with capacities up to 100 tonnes, and a vast array of plant that ranges from a robotic profiling line and a band sawing line, through to plate punching and plasma pipe profiling lines. OFFSITE MODULARISATION
With increasing reliance on modularised assembly, PIC offers extensive offsite modularisation capabilities. PIC’s extensive Naval Base workshops are key to the delivery of these services. It is here that steelworks are assembled
into shippable packages to be installed economically and effectively at site. Large modules of up to 300 tonnes are fabricated in controlled environments, where all trades have access to the full range of specialised equipment together with extensive overhead and mobile crane support. The workshop location benefits from the existence of the high wide load corridor along Patterson Road to the AMC, meaning that assemblies can be freighted from the workshops to Jervoise Bay, and from there loaded onto ships for transfer to the North West or beyond. According to Marco Mosole (Managing Director, PIC), modularisation affords clients a range of benefits. "Modularisation offers higher productivity and an improved quality of work executed in a controlled and fully equipped fabrication yard. It all but eliminates inclement weather issues on-site, and it can reduce overall project delivery schedule through parallel schedule management." "Modularisation helps PIC undertake complex multi-disciplinary engineering and construction services for resource,
energy and infrastructure sectors, comprising structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation," said Mosole. VALUES BASED DRIVERS
Mosole explains that PIC's values have been essential to the company's ongoing success over the last 50 years. "At PIC, our values are integral to the organisation and act as internal drivers. They shape how we conduct our business on a daily basis and ultimately drive our success," said Mosole. "PIC's values include quality, safety, integrity, collaboration and innovation.
