Large Scale Precision Machining
We have invested in extensive large-scale machining equipment across our Brisbane and Gladstone facilities. Equipped with advanced CNC vertical and horizontal borers, multi-axis machining centres, and high-capacity lathes, we can handle components up to 50 tonnes, 3 metres in diameter and 6 metres in length.
Our precision equipment – such as the Titan SC 40/50 CNC Vertical Turret Lathe, Mazak and Okuma multi-axis machining centres, and Kearns Richard horizontal borers – enables the production and refurbishment of complex, heavy-duty parts with exceptional accuracy. This combination of technology, scale, and expertise positions us as a leader in large-component manufacturing for APAC’s heavy industrial sectors.
SPECIALISED WELDING
Specialised welding is at the core of our manufacturing excellence. Our team of qualified welders and inspectors deliver high-integrity welding solutions across a range of materials, including titanium, carbon steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.
With significant investment in advanced welding technologies, automated systems, and certified procedures, we consistently achieves superior strength, accuracy, and repeatability. All welding operations are carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 1554, ASME IX, and ISO 3834 standards, supported by a rigorous quality assurance framework.
From critical pressure components and structural assemblies to complex, custom-engineered fabrications, we provide fully traceable, compliant, and high-performance welding solutions.

Plasma Transferred Arc Hardfacing
Setting Berg apart from our competitors is our capability to undertake Plasma Transferred Arc welding to achieve diverse properties such as mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance and creep on relatively low-cost surfaces. Use of this technology has enabled our clients to achieve a number of significant cost and longevity benefits.
