A VISIT TO BOWHILL ENGINEERING Ben Mitchell (Director, Strategic Partnerships, Weld Australia) and Simon Doe (Director, Engineering) recently visited member company Bowhill Engineering. Bowhill Engineering is an innovative structural steel engineering firm with specialist capability in large complex steel structures. Founded in the early 1970s, for over 50 years Bowhill has developed an enviable track-record for project delivery. Bowhill employs a stable workforce of more than 50 highly specialised staff, which gives them the ability to deliver world class innovative solutions for their clients. The firm delivers some $12 million worth of landmark projects annually. Bowhill Engineering recently opened a massive new workshop that will expand the company’s capabilities, introduce innovative technologies and continue its dedication to sustainability. The creation of this workshop has allowed them to take on their biggest contract yet – around four times bigger than anything they’ve taken on in the past. Stay tuned for more details in the next edition of Australian Welding magazine. The new B5 workshop (which is 70m long and 23m wide) includes a 16m crane which can lift up to 100 tonnes, giving the team more flexibility to turn large components quickly and safely.
