Built for Pressure: Providing WA with Trusted Safety Relief Valve Repairs and Industrial Valving Solutions

Full workshop capability delivering safer, more reliable systems across mining, oil & gas and heavy industry

Valves play a critical role behind the scenes—controlling flow, regulating pressure, and helping protect both equipment and personnel. When they fail, the impact can be immediate, costly, and potentially dangerous.

That’s why having the right support matters.

CATS WA is a trusted provider of industrial valving solutions, operating a fully equipped workshop dedicated to the repair and overhaul of safety relief valves and general valving. Supporting businesses across Western Australia, they deliver practical, compliant solutions designed to perform in harsh conditions.

From precision calibration to specialised valve servicing, their focus is simple: keeping systems safe, efficient, and reliable—while minimising unnecessary downtime.

So, what exactly sets them apart? Let’s take a closer look at what they offer.


Full Workshop Capability: Repairs and Overhaul Done Properly

Restoring safety relief valves and general valving to peak performance

At the core of CATS WA’s offering is their fully equipped workshop facility, designed to handle the repair, servicing and overhaul of safety relief valves and general valving.

This isn’t basic servicing—it’s a structured process that ensures each valve is restored to meet operational and safety requirements.

Their workshop capability allows for:

  • detailed inspection and fault diagnosis
  • disassembly and component assessment
  • repair or replacement of worn parts
  • recalibration and pressure testing
  • certification and compliance checks

This level of service is critical for industries where valves must perform under pressure—literally.

A properly overhauled valve doesn’t just function again. It performs reliably, safely, and in line with industry standards.

Safety Relief Valves: Protecting Systems When It Matters Most

The first line of defence against overpressure

Safety relief valves are one of the most important components in any pressurised system.

Their job is simple but critical—release excess pressure before it causes damage or failure.

CATS WA specialises in the repair and servicing of safety relief valves, ensuring they operate correctly when required.

These valves are commonly used in:

  • boilers
  • pressure vessels
  • pipelines
  • processing systems

When pressure exceeds safe limits, the valve activates automatically, preventing catastrophic failure.

However, for this to work, the valve must be:

  • correctly calibrated
  • free from wear or damage
  • suitable for the application

Even minor faults can affect performance, which is why regular servicing and expert overhauls are essential.


Precision Control: Pilot Operated Safety Relief Valves

Advanced systems for high-capacity and high-accuracy applications

For more complex systems, pilot-operated safety relief valves offer a higher level of precision.

These valves use a secondary control (pilot valve) to regulate the main valve, allowing for:

  • more accurate pressure control
  • reduced leakage
  • improved efficiency in high-capacity systems

CATS WA supports these specialised valves through expert servicing and maintenance, ensuring they perform as intended in demanding environments.


Flow and Measurement: Keeping Systems Balanced and Efficient

Accurate data for better operational control

Beyond safety valves, flow and measurement devices play a critical role in system performance.

CATS WA supports a range of equipment designed to monitor and maintain optimal conditions.

This includes:

  • mechanical flowmeters for simple, reliable measurement
  • digital flowmeters for real-time accuracy
  • pressure gauges to monitor system limits
  • temperature gauges to track operating conditions

These tools provide the data needed to make informed decisions, helping operators maintain efficiency while avoiding unnecessary stress on equipment.


Specialised Valves and Accessories for Complex Applications

Supporting automation, safety and system control

Modern industrial systems often rely on specialised valves and accessories to operate effectively.

CATS WA works with a wide range of these components, including:

  • solenoid valves for automated flow control
  • emergency vent valves for pressure management
  • bursting discs for fail-safe protection
  • proximity switches and positioners for monitoring valve position

Each of these plays a role in improving system performance and safety.

For example, solenoid valves allow precise control in automated systems, while bursting discs provide an additional layer of protection in high-risk environments.


Flow Control Valves: Choosing the Right Type for the Job

Matching valve design to application requirements

Not all valves are created equal.

Different applications require different valve types, and selecting the wrong one can lead to inefficiency or failure.

CATS WA supports a wide range of flow control valves, including:

  • butterfly valves for lightweight, efficient control
  • check valves to prevent backflow
  • diaphragm valves for corrosive or abrasive materials
  • knife gate valves for slurry and heavy media
  • plug valves for durable flow regulation
  • ball valves for tight shut-off
  • gate valves for isolation

Each valve type has its own strengths, and choosing the right one depends on the system’s specific needs.

This is where working with experienced specialists makes a difference.


Advanced Control Systems: Automation and Precision

Improving efficiency with actuators and control valves

As systems become more complex, automation becomes more important.

CATS WA supports advanced control solutions, including:

  • actuators for automated valve operation
  • control valves for regulating flow, pressure and temperature
  • pressure vacuum relief valves for tank protection

These systems allow for more precise control, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving overall efficiency.


Preventing Failures Before They Happen

The most common causes of valve issues—and how to avoid them

Valve failures are often preventable.

Based on industry experience, common issues include:

  • incorrect valve selection
  • lack of maintenance
  • poor installation practices
  • exposure to unsuitable conditions

Each of these can lead to reduced performance or premature failure.

CATS WA helps clients avoid these issues by providing:

  • expert advice on valve selection
  • professional servicing and maintenance
  • correct installation practices
  • guidance on material compatibility

This proactive approach helps extend the lifespan of valves and improve system reliability.


Maintenance vs Replacement: Making the Right Call

Balancing cost, performance and long-term value

When a valve fails, the question often comes down to whether to repair or replace it.

Maintenance offers clear benefits:

  • lower cost compared to replacement
  • reduced downtime through planned servicing
  • extended equipment lifespan

However, replacement may be necessary when:

  • damage is extensive
  • components are outdated
  • repairs become frequent

CATS WA works with clients to assess each situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
