10,000+ hours of fabrication. 18 process vessels. ASSDA Member A&G Engineering has entered Project Bluebird in the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical category of the 2026 ASSDA Fabricator Awards. 🏆
Undertaken for Mauri in Ballarat, Project Bluebird is a $200+ million state-of-the-art flour milling facility, capable of processing around 180,000 tonnes of wheat each year.
A&G designed, manufactured and delivered 18 stainless steel process vessels and six discharge hoppers, ranging from 3m³ to 230m³, across its Griffith and Mildura facilities.
The project involved more than 10,000 hours of in-house engineering and fabrication, with meticulous planning required for vessels installed through multiple levels of the facility with tolerances of just 45–50mm.
A&G also successfully advocated for stainless steel over the originally considered mild steel, recognising its benefits for hygiene, cleanability, corrosion resistance and long-term performance in a food manufacturing environment.
A fantastic example of Australian stainless steel fabrication delivering at scale.
