What PCM GROUP does

PCM GROUP PTY LTD is a privately held Australian industrial maintenance services company specialising in asset refurbishment and corrosion protection for oil & gas, mining, marine, defence, power, water, ports, and grain-handling infrastructure. Founded and headquartered in Darwin, Northern Territory, the company operates from five physical sites across Darwin, Perth, Karratha, Wattleup, and Paget (Queensland), with project delivery extending into Tasmania. Its service portfolio spans ten integrated lines: abrasive blasting, access solutions (scaffolding and 3D scaffold design), insulation and cladding, passive fire protection, polyurea coating systems, specialised coating systems, specialised wrapping systems, thermal spray aluminium, ultra-high-pressure water jetting, and vacuum loading and waste recovery. Delivery is turnkey, meaning PCM acts as a single contractor combining access, blasting, coating, wrapping, and fabrication disciplines rather than sub-contracting interfaces to other trades.

Revenue is generated through project-based industrial maintenance contracts awarded via competitive tender and direct negotiation with enterprise resource and infrastructure operators. Disclosed contract values reach at least $5.4 million for a single berth refurbishment engagement, with multi-million dollar frameworks across Pilbara Ports Authority, Rio Tinto, INPEX (via Trace JV), Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, Civmec/Chevron, Mineral Resources, Fremantle Port Authority, Austal Ships, Nyrstar, CBH Group, and APA Group. The company monetises through professional services on multi-year frameworks and one-off refurbishment programs, with pricing determined by project scope, complexity, equipment deployment, and workforce sizing.

Underlying technology is industrial rather than digital: NACE 1-3 and CINI-certified inspection teams, hydroblasting equipment up to 40,000 PSI, Wire Arc and Flame thermal spray systems, King Vac 11000 vacuum loading (10,000-litre capacity, 27-inch HG suction at 6,500 CFM), Layher and Kwikstage modular scaffolding with in-house 3D temporary works design, and approved-installer access to Benarx and Aerogel passive fire protection products. The company is led by Director Gemma Mackett and Chairman Nicholas Thake, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.
