Shutdown Specialists

Dawsons Group of Companies are the remote area shutdown specialists.
The focus of the Dawsons Shutdown team is to maximise shutdown productivity whilst optimising safety performance - anywhere in Australia.

Our experience

Dawons has been providing shut down support to the mining and process industries across Australia for over 21 years.
As a fully integrated heavy engineering and labour hire company, we are unique in our ability to provide end to end services.

What makes Dawsons Shutdown so successful?

There are 5 points of differentiation:-

1. Experience – lots of it!

With clients throughout Australia and a shutdown schedule averaging 500,000 man hours per annum, Dawsons Group of Companies understands the factors critical to shutdown success.

2. Relationships – long term value partnerships

We are committed retaining and developing our current client base. Our list of long term clients is testament to this.
We tailor solutions to individual client requirements and can supply the spectrum of services from trades only crew through to a fully supervised and tooled crew.

3. Safe Crews

Safe work crews of experienced supervisors and tradesmen who regularly work together as shut down specialists.
Safety is our priority – lives depend on it.

4. End to End Solution

Dawsons can provide the complete Industrial Solution including fully integrated labour hire and heavy engineering options. There is no “third party” involvement – no subcontractors.  Our operation is seemless with crews directly employed by Dawsons.
Dawsons has the ability to provide offsite fabrication and mechanical overhaul work to support shutdown activities.  We can support the entire asset management life cycle.

5. Response Time

Dawsons are able to mobilise crews with short notice due to the size of our shut down workforce. We have staff who work exclusively on shut down operations  - they like variety and work pattern.

These five cornerstones drive our efficiency, maximise our clients shutdown productivity and help us mitigate risk.
