Heavy Machining Expansion Takes Shape

There’s been plenty of progress at our new Heavy Machining and Nuclear Fabrication facility in Blackburn, with work moving forward as we continue to expand our capabilities.

Since our last update, the site has come a long way. Work on the foundations and preparation for our next machines has progressed, with further improvements being made across the facility as we get closer to bringing more equipment online.

Our Correa Fox M and Correa Axia, complete with its impressive 20-tonne rotary table, are already up and running, giving us even greater capacity for large-scale machining projects.

The expansion is an important investment for WEC Group, allowing us to take on larger and more demanding machining work while giving our customers access to even more advanced equipment and manufacturing capabilities.

Alongside the installation of our machinery, work has also been taking place around the wider site, helping to create a modern facility that is ready to support the next stage of our growth.

It’s great to see the expansion progressing and the new facility continuing to take shape. We’ll be sharing more updates as work moves forward and the next stages of the project are completed.

We’re looking forward to seeing the full facility come together and making the most of the additional capacity it will bring to our heavy machining operations.
