Our Complete Steam Plant Services
Steam Plant Design
We design plant systems suited to the operating requirements and steam demand of each facility, including new installations and upgrades to existing plant rooms.
Steam Boiler Installation
Our team installs commercial and industrial steam boilers along with the associated equipment required for safe and reliable steam generation.
Steam Plant Commissioning
Following installation, we carry out system testing and commissioning to confirm that the steam plant and its controls are operating correctly.
Preventative Maintenance
cheduled steam plant maintenance helps identify wear, leaks, corrosion, control issues, and deteriorating components before they contribute to unexpected downtime.
Steam Boiler Repairs
We diagnose and repair faults affecting steam boilers and associated equipment, helping facilities restore safe and reliable plant operation.
Plant Upgrades and Replacement
Ageing steam plants can be assessed for equipment replacement, control upgrades, efficiency improvements, and modifications to better suit current operating requirements.
Pressure Vessel Inspection
Regular inspection of boilers and other pressure equipment helps identify deterioration and supports the safe ongoing operation of the steam plant.
Controls and Safety Systems
We inspect, maintain, repair, and upgrade boiler controls and safety equipment responsible for managing steam pressure, water levels, burner operation, and system shutdowns.
Where Are Steam Plants Used?
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
Steam plants can support sterilisation, heating, hot water, laundry services, and other processes where a consistent steam supply is required.
Councils and Government Facilities
Government buildings, aquatic centres, sporting facilities, and other council-operated sites may use central steam or boiler plants for heating and hot water requirements.
Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing facilities use industrial steam plants for process heating, cleaning, production equipment, temperature control, and other production requirements.
Food and Beverage Facilities
Steam can be used throughout food processing facilities for cooking, heating, cleaning, sanitisation, and production processes requiring controlled heat.
Schools and Universities
Larger educational campuses may operate central boiler plants to provide heating and hot water across multiple buildings and facilities.
Hotels and Accommodation
Steam and boiler plants can support high-volume hot water, laundry, kitchen, and building heating requirements within larger accommodation facilities.
Commercial Buildings
Commercial properties with centralised plant rooms may use steam boilers and associated equipment to provide heating and other building services.
Aged Care Facilities
Steam and boiler systems can provide reliable heating and hot water while supporting laundry, kitchen, and other operational requirements within larger aged care facilities.
Why Maintain Your Steam Plant?
Regular maintenance helps keep steam systems operating reliably while providing an opportunity to identify problems before they result in larger repairs or unplanned shutdowns.
A structured maintenance program can help with:
- Maintaining safe plant operation
- Reducing unexpected downtime
- Identifying leaks and component deterioration
- Maintaining steam production and system performance
- Improving equipment reliability
- Extending boiler and equipment lifespan
- Planning repairs and replacement work
- Supporting applicable inspection and maintenance requirements
Maintaining Your Steam Plant
A steam plant contains numerous components that need to work together safely and efficiently. Maintenance therefore extends beyond the steam boiler itself and can include burners, feedwater systems, pumps, valves, controls, pressure equipment, pipework, condensate systems, and safety devices.
A planned steam plant maintenance program can help facilities identify developing issues, reduce unplanned breakdowns, maintain system performance, and extend the service life of key equipment.
Maintenance can include:
- Steam boiler inspection and servicing
- Burner servicing and combustion checks
- Feedwater system inspection
- Pump and valve maintenance
- Steam and condensate pipework inspections
- Safety valve testing
- Boiler control and safety system checks
- Pressure vessel inspections
- Leak and corrosion checks
- Fault finding and steam boiler repairs
- System performance testing

Where Are Steam Plants Used?
What is included in a steam plant installation?
A steam plant installation can include the steam boiler, burner, feedwater equipment, pumps, controls, valves, safety equipment, pipework, condensate systems, and other components required for the application.
The exact configuration depends on the facility and its steam requirements.
How often should a steam plant be maintained?
Maintenance frequency depends on the type of equipment, operating hours, steam demand, manufacturer requirements, and applicable inspection requirements.
A maintenance schedule should be developed around the individual plant and its operating conditions.
Can you maintain an existing steam plant?
Yes. Existing steam plants can be inspected and serviced even where a complete replacement is not required.
This may include boiler servicing, burner maintenance, controls, valves, pumps, pipework, pressure equipment, and other associated components.
Can an older steam plant be upgraded?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the equipment, an older steam plant may be suitable for upgrades to boilers, burners, controls, pumps, pipework, or other components.
An assessment can determine which upgrades are appropriate.
What causes steam boiler breakdowns?
Steam boiler problems can result from component wear, burner faults, water treatment issues, scale, corrosion, leaking valves, pump failures, control faults, or problems with associated steam and condensate systems.
Regular maintenance can help identify many of these issues before they cause a shutdown.
