The Hydrogen Society of Australia (HSA) WA Chapter invited attendees to an exclusive industry presentation and facility tour hosted by Online Composite Engineering (OCE), a Western Australian specialist engineering company that delivered advanced carbon fibre composite repair technologies to critical industries across Australia.
Operating across the Mining & Resources, Oil & Gas, Water Utilities, Chemical Processing, and Heavy Industrial sectors, OCE provided innovative engineering solutions that enabled damaged pipelines, tanks, pressure systems, and structural assets to be rehabilitated while remaining operational. By avoiding full shutdowns and intrusive replacement works, these technologies could significantly reduce downtime, improve safety outcomes, and extend long-term asset performance.
Attendees gained insight into how advanced composite engineering systems were being applied in real-world industrial environments to support safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective asset management strategies.
The session included:
• An introduction to Online Composite Engineering and its specialist services
• Technical presentations on composite repair technologies and applications
• Discussion of operational, safety, and sustainability benefits
• A guided tour of the Baden Engineering facility
• Networking opportunities with industry professionals over refreshments and snacks
Key advantages of composite repair technologies included:
✔ Non-intrusive asset rehabilitation
✔ High strength-to-weight performance
✔ Corrosion-resistant solutions
✔ Reduced downtime and operational disruption
✔ Faster installation compared to conventional repairs
✔ Sustainable and cost-effective asset management
This event provided a valuable opportunity for professionals across the energy, hydrogen, industrial, and infrastructure sectors to explore practical engineering solutions supporting asset reliability and operational continuity.
The May 2026 Online Composite Engineering newsletter contained further information about the organisation and how they contributed to the Hydrogen space. 
Based in Western Australia, Online Composite Engineering Pty Ltd is an innovative engineering company specialising in advanced carbon fibre composite repair technologies for industrial infrastructure. The company delivers engineered solutions designed to restore and strengthen compromised pipelines, tanks, pressure systems, and critical assets — without the need for lengthy shutdowns or costly replacements.
As the sole distributor of COMP-WRAP technologies across Australia and New Zealand, the company combines engineering expertise with practical field applications to provide high-performance, corrosion-resistant repair systems used across mining, oil & gas, chemical processing, water utilities, and heavy industry sectors.
The company’s solutions are engineered to return damaged assets to their original design specifications while operating safely under demanding industrial conditions, including high pressures, elevated temperatures, and corrosive environments. Their technologies have been successfully applied in facilities such as mining operations in Western Australia and industrial projects overseas.
Composite materials are increasingly recognised across industry for their: High strength-to-weight performance; Corrosion resistance; Reduced maintenance requirements; Faster installation times; and Long-term operational efficiency. At Online Composite Engineering, these advantages are transformed into practical engineering solutions that help industries improve reliability, sustainability, and asset longevity.
HSA visitors touring the Baden Engineering facility had an engaging introduction to the world of advanced composite engineering and industrial rehabilitation technologies. The tour included:
• Live demonstrations of carbon fibre composite wrapping systems used for pipe and asset restoration.
• Exposure to engineered repair techniques that extend operational life while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
• Insights into real-world case studies involving mining operations, oil and gas pipelines, chemical plants, and water infrastructure projects both in Australia and internationally.
• Showcasing of specialised products including:
1. Carbonweave engineered composite wrap systems
2. DIY repair kits
3. Cementcrete composite blanket technologies
• Discussions with experienced engineers and technical specialists about composite materials, structural integrity, and sustainable maintenance solutions.
