Case Study
PFi was brought in to evaluate the current stacks, which had begun showing signs of degradation. After thorough scanning, the decision was made to condemn all three of the 28-metre-high stacks.
We proceeded to remove the stacks in sections, utilising a range of large mobile plant equipment such as cranes and booms to ensure a safe and efficient process. Once the old stacks were taken down, we manufactured new stacks in-house at our 1100m² facility in Darra, QLD. With the new stacks ready, our team re-installed them from the ground up, restoring the site to full functionality.
If you have any questions or would like more details about the process, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your ongoing support and collaboration.

Trevor Onion
PFi Project Manager
PFi was engaged to repurpose and install an automated sheet handling system for James Hardie’s Carole Park facility in Queensland. The system, originally built for US operations that never proceeded, was shipped from overseas and adapted for a new purpose — automating the “Breakout” process at the end of James Hardie’s finishing line.
The scope covered the full installation and commissioning of a complex robotic handling system including conveyors, robots, vision systems, safety fencing, printing capability and a full control system overhaul.

Dan Duncan
PFi Electrical lead
The client came to PFi wishing to automate their cattle forcing pen. At that point in time they were having to manually herd groups of livestock through the pen with the aid of manually driven gates. They came to us with a design that PFi tailored and manufactured according to their needs.
After building and testing the product in the factory, we carried out the installation over three weekends, a tight timeframe with little room for error. Fortunately the install went well without any major issues, a great effort from management, mechanical and electrical teams alike.
Considering the improvement in rate of production and the decreased risk of harm to staff and livestock, the job was a success. The client expressed how happy they were with the results upon initial stages of production.

Case Study
Chetan Sharma
PFi Project Manager
The client operates a warehouse identified a significant structural safety concern: a total of sixteen steel columns within the operational warehouse had sustained damage from repeated forklift impacts. The damage affected the lower portions of (UC) sections,
compromising the structural integrity of the warehouse frame. Of these sixteen columns, eight were classified as requiring partial replacement, two required repairs through cold hydraulic pressing and six required full replacement.
The client’s core challenge was that they needed a remediation solution that could be executed safely within a live warehouse, with minimal disruption to operations, and that would restore each column to its original structural capacity.
