What We Do

Engineering Capability
Built Over Decades

A 2,400+ m² workshop with six overhead cranes, a registered design office, a registered electrical department and qualified trades across every discipline — all under one roof in Ottoway, SA.


Steel Fabrication

Plate, Structural & Pipe Fabrication

F. Miller & Co. fabricates in stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium and duplex stainless steel — from light structural work through to heavy-duty plate fabrication for pressure vessels, tanks and industrial plant.

Our workshop is configured for large-format work, with a long-bed layout and overhead crane coverage across the full floor. Cutting, rolling, pressing and forming are all in-house — no sub-contracting the preparation work.

Materials: 316 & 304 stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, duplex stainless
Cutting: Laser, plasma, guillotine and oxy cutting
Forming: Brake pressing and plate & section rolling
Lifting: 6 overhead gantry cranes, capacity to 35 t
Floor area: Over 2,400 m² workshop

Welding

All Processes. Certified Supervision.

F. Miller & Co. maintains a full welding capability across all common processes, with a full-time welding supervisor certified to AS1796 and AS2214 — and the ISO 9001 quality system to back it.

TIG Welding

Precision tungsten-inert-gas for stainless steel and light alloys where quality surface finish matters.

MIG & Pulse MIG

High-deposition MIG and pulse MIG for structural and heavy-plate fabrication.

Arc & Electrode

Shielded metal arc welding for structural applications and site repair work.

Pressure Vessel Welding

Certified welding for AS1210 pressure vessels and boilers. Full documentation and test records.

Welding Supervisor — AS1796 Certified
Welding Procedure — AS2214 Compliant
Pressure Vessels to AS1210
ISO 9001 Quality System

Pressure Equipment

Registered Pressure Vessels & Class-1 Pipework

F. Miller & Co. holds registration for the design and fabrication of pressure vessels to AS1210, and for Class-1 pipework. Our design office works to ASME and API 650 standards as required by project specifications.

Pressure Vessels

Fabricated and registered to AS1210. Full material traceability, weld documentation, hydro-testing and inspection records.

Class-1 Pipework

Registered Class-1 pipework for process, chemical and high-pressure services. All materials and welds fully documented.

Storage Tanks

Above-ground storage tanks and vessels to API 650 and ASME standards. Carbon steel, stainless and duplex.

Ottoway, South Australia

The work speaks for itself.

Machining

CNC Machining & Precision Work

Our machine shop handles turning, milling, drilling and precision work — with bed lengths to 4,000 mm and swing to 900 mm diameter.

Assembly of conveying systems, pneumatic lines and hydraulic circuits is carried out in-house alongside the machined components, allowing complete sub-assemblies to be delivered and installed as finished units.

Turning

  • Bed length to 4,000 mm
  • Swing to 900 mm diameter

Milling & Drilling

  • CNC milling centre
  • Radial arm and precision drilling

Assembly

  • Conveyor & machinery assembly
  • Pneumatic & hydraulic circuits

Electrical & Controls

Registered Electrical Contractor

F. Miller & Co. operates a registered electrical department within the workshop — meaning electrical work is completed alongside fabrication, not after it. Switchboards, control systems, PLC programming and industrial wiring are all handled in-house.

Switchboard Building

Main and sub switchboards designed, built and certified in-house. All compliant with current Australian Standards.

PLC & Control Systems

Programmable logic controllers, HMI interfaces and control system integration for automated plant.

Industrial Wiring & Maintenance

Plant wiring, cable laying, test & tag and ongoing electrical maintenance for industrial facilities.

Design Engineering

In-House Design Office

Our drafting team has collectively accumulated over 50 years of experience within F. Miller & Co. — designing to ASME, API 650 and AS1210 in AutoCAD, Inventor and SolidWorks.

3D Modelling & Drafting

Inventor and SolidWorks for complex assemblies. AutoCAD for fabrication and structural drawings. Full as-built documentation.

Codes & Standards

Design to ASME, API 650, AS1210 and Australian Standards as required. Pressure vessel and pipework design registers maintained.

Project Management

Design, procurement and fabrication co-ordinated through our project management team. Single point of contact from enquiry to delivery.

Site Installation

From Our Workshop to Your Site

F. Miller & Co. provides site installation services — structural steel erection, bins, silos, conveyors, stairs and platforms. A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is prepared for all site work. We take the project all the way.

Steel Erection

Structural steel and fabricated assemblies erected on site by our own crew.

Bins & Silos

Design, fabrication and site installation of storage bins, hoppers and silos.

Conveyors

Belt, screw and pneumatic conveying systems — fabricated and commissioned on site.

Stairs & Platforms

Access platforms, stairways and handrail systems. Fabricated to spec, installed to standard.
