About Us

What We Do

Tappy’s Fitting & Maintenance supplies qualified trades labour and maintenance management to mines and sugar mills across the Mackay and Bowen Basin region. We cover both sides of fixed plant asset management: skilled people on the tools, and the supervision and coordination that keeps shutdowns and maintenance days running to schedule.

Whether you’re short on labour for a breakdown, need fitters and boilermakers for a planned shutdown, or want an experienced supervisor to run your crew, we can put the right people on site. From Mackay we work right across the Bowen Basin, handling breakdown and preventive maintenance and coordinating jobs from start to finish.
