Why WA Trusts Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd for Complete Building, Construction and Civil Works

 

Why WA Trusts Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd for Complete Building, Construction and Civil Works

When you’re building in Western Australia—especially in the Pilbara and the North West—you need a building and construction company that knows the local conditions, understands mine site protocols, and turns up when it says it will. That’s us. Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd is a proud Wedgefield-based team delivering rock-solid building, plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, and civil works to communities and industries right across WA. From modular building installations to leak detection on remote sites, we provide end-to-end solutions that keep projects on schedule and are built to last.

We wrote this guide to demonstrate how our integrated services operate in the real world—how we plan, coordinate, and deliver solutions for mining, industrial, commercial, defence, and residential clients. You’ll also see why our reputation for mine site refurbishments, plumbing solutions, concrete formwork, and civil construction continues to grow across the state.


Who We Are: A Local Business with Big Capabilities

We started Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd to deliver quality workmanship with a friendly, local touch. Operating out of Wedgefield, WA, we’ve built deep roots in the regions—working on mine sites, civil infrastructure, modular facilities, and industrial maintenance from the Pilbara to the Mid West and beyond. We’re not a fly-in, fly-out outfit; we’re WA locals who understand the distances, the weather, and the need to get things right the first time.

Why WA Trusts Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd

Our clients stick with us because we make their lives easier:

  • Clear, consistent communication—no surprises, no last-minute drama.
  • Safety is non-negotiable—we’ve logged 15,000+ man-hours with zero LTIs (Lost Time Injuries).
  • Fully licensed trades—specialists who know their craft and mine site requirements.
  • Attention to detail—because the small things become big costs if missed.
  • We show up and deliver—on time, every time.

What We Do: Integrated Building, Construction and Civil Works

Holdfast Contracting Pty Ltd delivers a complete service stack so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors. Our crew coordinates plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, carpentry, concrete and formwork, and civil works under one roof—streamlining approvals, sequencing trades, and accelerating handover.

Major capability areas include:

  • Complete Plumbing & Civil Services (PL 8599)
  • Electrical (EC 14523) and Refrigeration (ARC L168997)
  • Carpentry, Concrete & Formwork
  • Modular Building Installation & Complexing
  • Maintenance & Mine Site Refurbishments
  • End-to-End Project Delivery and Site Management

Complete Plumbing & Civil Services (PL 8599)

When it comes to plumbing solutions and civil works in WA, speed and accuracy are everything. We maintain and install water systems for remote communities and mine operations, run CCTV drain inspections, and perform jetting and leak detection that pinpoint issues before they snowball.

Leak Detection, Drain Inspections & Jetting

In regional WA, a minor concealed leak can become a major cost and a production headache. Our team uses non-invasive leak detection tools and high-resolution CCTV to locate defects in pipework quickly. We then jet and clear the line to restore flow and prevent repeat failures.

  • Non-destructive diagnostics for rapid identification
  • CCTV footage & reports for compliance and insurance
  • Ideal for mine camps, industrial facilities, and residential properties

WTP & WWTP: Installation and Maintenance

We install and service Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) and Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) designed for remote operations. From specification to commissioning and scheduled maintenance, we keep systems efficient and environmentally compliant.

  • Tailored for mining and industrial sites
  • Preventative maintenance to reduce outages and protect the environment
  • Robust setups for off-grid and low-infrastructure locations

Civil Works That Stand Up to WA Conditions

From trenching and backfilling to site drainage, culverts, pits, and concrete hardstands, our civil construction crews build durable assets that withstand heat, traffic, and heavy equipment. We also coordinate service corridors (water, power, comms) for modular camps and facilities, keeping layouts tidy and future-proof.


Electrical and Refrigeration (EC 14523 & ARC L168997)

You can’t hand over a facility without power that’s safe, compliant, and reliable—especially in remote WA. Our licensed electricians and refrigeration technicians deliver light and power installations, fault finding, air conditioning installations, and breakdown response that get sites back online quickly.

Electrical Services

  • Light and power installations for modular buildings, offices, and workshops
  • Testing and fault-finding with clear documentation
  • Compliance with WA standards and mine site procedures

Refrigeration & Cooling

  • Split system and ducted air-con for camps and commercial spaces
  • Preventative servicing to reduce heat-related failures
  • Licensed under ARC L168997 for assurance and traceability

What clients get: faster approvals, safer energisation, and cooler, more comfortable facilities for crews in harsh climates.


Carpentry, Concrete & Formwork: Built to Spec, Built to Last

Strong structures begin with concrete and formwork done right. Our team delivers slabs, footings, retaining walls, industrial platforms, and stair/landing solutions with millimetre accuracy. On the carpentry front, we handle:

  • Framing, doors, stairs, and decking
  • Joinery and fit-off for offices, crib rooms, amenities, and ablutions
  • Industrial and mine-ready finishes suited to heavy use

We manage the lot—from ground prep and reinforcement to pour, cure, and polish—so the final finish is something you’ll be proud to sign off.


Modular Building Installation & Complexing

Modular buildings make sense in WA: they’re fast to deploy, easy to move, and built for harsh environments. We provide full modular installation, transport coordination, and complexing services, delivering a turnkey building installation with minimal disruption.

Why Modular Works for WA

  • Rapid delivery—ideal for shutdowns or fast-growing sites
  • Lower cost and disruption—less time on site, fewer variables
  • Flexible layouts—easy to expand or relocate as operations change

Our Scope

  • Site preparation and civil enablement
  • Plumbing connections, pumps, and waste systems
  • Electrical and refrigeration fit-out
  • Commissioning, QA, and handover with clean documentation

Whether it’s a new mine camp, a remote office, or community infrastructure, we make modular simple and safe.


Maintenance & Mine Site Refurbishments

If your facilities are showing their age—or you’ve reactivated a site—our mine site refurbishment crews can overhaul kitchens, ablutions, offices, crib rooms, and amenities to current standards. We work live or staged, depending on the site’s operational constraints.

Refurbishments

  • Kitchens, bathrooms, office spaces—all refreshed to spec
  • On budget, to program, and fully compliant with mining safety standards
  • Smart materials and details that lower whole-of-life costs

Ongoing Maintenance

  • Preventative and responsive maintenance contracts
  • Ideal for operators who need a reliable local contractor
  • Reduced downtime, safer assets, fewer headaches

End-to-End Construction Support: One Team, One Plan

The reason many clients pick Holdfast is simple: we coordinate everything. You get one point of contact, tighter cost control, and shorter timelines. Our integrated model keeps trades in sequence, avoids clashes, and ensures buildability from day one.

Case Snapshots: How We Add Value

  • Mine Camp Modular Install (Pilbara)
    We completed site prep, services complexing, and AC fit-out for a multi-stage camp expansion. Early coordination with civil and electrical reduced changeovers and shortened commissioning by two weeks.

  • Leak Detection & Drain Rehabilitation (Regional WA)
    A remote facility faced high water bills and recurring blockages. Our CCTV inspections, jetting, and targeted leak repairs cut water loss and stoppages, with a simple maintenance plan to keep things flowing.

  • WWTP Upgrade & Maintenance Plan (Industrial)
    We modernised process lines, optimised aeration, and set a preventative maintenance schedule. The outcome: improved compliance, fewer alarms, and predictable operating costs.

Safety & Quality: Built Into Every Task

Our systems emphasise planning, supervision, and clean documentation:

  • Site-specific SWMS/JSA, daily pre-starts, and toolbox talks
  • Isolation and permit to work where required
  • Quality checkpoints with photo records and ITPs
  • Transparent reporting and digital handover packs

This is how we’ve delivered zero LTIs while scaling up across multiple sites.
