HDPE Side Fusion: Precision Fabrication at Scale
Early 2024, GEM Industrial enhanced its workshop capabilities by commissioning the Omisa 160 SW-S Side Fusion Machine, tailored for HDPE sidewall welding.
Since then, the team has completed over 7,000 side fusion welds, including custom fittings for unique project needs across Australia.
A robust QA framework, combining in-house inspections and NATA-accredited destructive testing, ensures weld integrity and performance.
This investment has boosted fabrication agility and created local employment, with full-time roles dedicated to operations.
Side fusion is a powerful solution for engineers dealing with non-standard geometries and tight installation footprints, and GEM is proud to offer this capability in-house and at scale.
