Mining technology company Weir has expanded its Western Australian operations with the opening of a new purpose-built Minerals Division facility in Hazelmere, significantly boosting its service and engineering capabilities in the state.
The 14,500-square-metre site increases Weir’s capacity to service and rebuild critical mining equipment, enabling faster turnaround times and strengthening support for mining customers across Western Australia.
Strategically located in Hazelmere, the facility improves connectivity with key mining regions, transport networks and customers throughout the state. The site was officially opened on May 28 by Western Australia Minister for Mines and Petroleum David Michael.

At the heart of the new operation is a 4500-square-metre heavy-duty workshop equipped with 80-tonne and 50-tonne overhead cranes, allowing the company to handle large-scale equipment and undertake complex maintenance and rebuild projects more efficiently.
The facility also features dedicated blast, paint and cleaning rooms, as well as a provisioned area for future excitor testing. A modern office fit-out includes contemporary workstations, meeting rooms and breakout spaces designed to support collaboration and productivity.
The Hazelmere site provides comprehensive support across Weir’s minerals processing portfolio, including parts and spares supply, service, repair and rebuild capabilities. Equipment supported includes WARMAN slurry pumps, GEHO positive displacement pumps, Isogate valves, CAVEX hydrocyclones and the ENDURON comminution range, including screens and crushers.
Specialist wear solutions and LINATEX premium rubber lining are also backed by in-house engineering expertise and technical services.
Weir said the investment reflects sustained demand from mining customers across Western Australia and reinforces its long-term commitment to the region.
