DWA Industrial Resources is fully equipped to support a large number of Qualified Trade Persons in the Field, Supplying Vehicles, Hiab Trucks, Franna Cranes, Mobile Workshops and all tooling associated within the Mining Industry.
DWA Industrial Resources was established in 1996 by Paul Bickerton. Since then, the business has grown with the mining industry in the NorthWest including a fully equipped engineering workshop in Derby, and the opening of the Perth engineering workshop early 2012. It employs a number of different trades to provide services, including mine maintenance, mine construction, electrical, logistics, transporting goods, engineering, aluminium fabrication, abrasive blasting, industrial coatings, belt splicing & rubber lining, equipment repairs and radiator repairs. The company also hires out equipment to the mine companies on a daily basis such as mine inspected 4WD vehicles, Franna cranes, hiab trucks, mobile workshops, diesel welding units and hot belt splicing presses. DWA has established a Drill Bit Refurbishment Training program in place for Traditional Land Owners. This has created further depth to the commitment DWA makes in offering Training and Employment for Indigenous residents.
