PIC

What PIC does

Pacific Industrial Company (PIC) is a privately held, family-founded Western Australian steel fabrication, construction, and modularisation contractor operating from a 40,000 m2 Naval Base campus (Perth) comprising three workshops and 44 overhead cranes with lift capacity up to 100 tonnes. The company delivers projects across three core sectors — Resources (iron ore, lithium, mineral sands, LNG), Infrastructure (rail stations, public buildings), and Commercial (office towers, hotels, mixed-use) — for clients including Rio Tinto, Woodside, BHP Billiton Iron Ore, Tianqi Lithium, MZI Resources, Laing O'Rourke, AECOM, Brookfield Multiplex, Grocon, and Probuild. Its service model spans fabrication (platework, pipe spooling, storage tanks, pressure vessels, offshore and subsea structures), construction (structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation), modularisation (modules up to 300 tonnes), and industrial services (maintenance, shutdowns, tank refurbishment, hydraulics, emergency callouts), supplemented by two wholly-owned subsidiaries: DTE Pacific (tank manufacturing and fuel farm turnkey solutions, including lease/hire options) and COMO Engineers (process metallurgy and feasibility studies for minerals processing).

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through enterprise B2B project contracts and competitive tendering, with no public pricing or standard rate cards; major contract values implied by tonnage range from single-digit millions to roughly A$30–45M for the largest single project (Brookfield Multiplex Tower 2 at 11,000+ tonnes). The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by PR-driven contract announcements, an industry-award profile (multiple Master Builders WA wins including 2015 Best Project of the Year for Cloisters on Hay), and a project-case-study website. Certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, AS/NZS 5131 CC3) underpin qualification on tier-one tender lists. The facility sits within WA's high-wide-load corridor 5 km from the AMC Common User Facility, enabling direct shipping of large modules to North West Australia and offshore energy projects — a logistics position that materially shapes PIC's competitive relevance to Pilbara and offshore energy customers.

• Watpac: BESIX-owned national commercial, infrastructure and resources construction contractor that delivers the kind of large building projects (stadiums, commercial towers) where PIC supplies structural steel as subcontractor.

Direct peers

• Saunders International: Engineering and construction services firm with structural steel fabrication, tank construction and infrastructure capabilities serving similar resources and infrastructure clients across Australia.
