Nyrstar Lead Smelter Shutdowns

Project Overview

Industrial services, labour hire and general operations at Port Pirie Nyrstar Lead Smelter.

McMahon Services provide on-going 24/7 industrial services and labour hire to the general operation of the Nyrstar Lead Smelter in Port Pirie.

Our regional office based in Port Pirie has provided these services to the local smelter for over 27 years and has gained in-depth knowledge and experience of the operational requirements and restrictions of the various smelter facilities.
