Six ways we deliver for our clients.
Dawsons has the ability to manage a project from design through to fabrication and installation. In over 30 years of operation, we have been involved in projects as diverse as structural refurbishments of mine processing plants, fabrication of pressure vessels in SAF2507; design and construction of mine camps and process plants; to the installation of an underground crusher. We understand that our clients operate in a 24/7 environment and we manage projects between our workshops to ensure that even the tightest deadlines are met. We don't rely on third parties for supplementary labour – all of our projects are resourced internally. We also own our fleet of trucks, cranes and site tooling so that we maximise control of deadlines and quality at every stage of a project.
