Municipal Water Piping Systems:An Engineer’s Guide to Material Selection Municipal water piping systems are the backbone of our urban infrastructure, ensuring that potable water is delivered efficiently to Australian households and businesses. For civil engineers and project managers, selecting the right piping material is no longer just about pressure ratings; it’s about Total Cost of …
In 2022, Advanced Piping Systems supplied HDPE spooling and pipe for an A$100 million water management upgrade project. The project was at an iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project aimed to increase the mine’s reverse osmosis (RO) plant capacity from 10 to 40 mega litres. This was achieved in …
The Crucial Role of Inside Diameter (Episode 2) Debottlenecking Episode 2 is now available! When making a pipe or fitting selection with performance in mind, deciding on the role of Inside Diameter (ID) in piping systems is a crucial part of the decision-making process. ID refers to the inner diameter of the pipe or fitting, …

HDPE, carbon steel or stainless steel? As budgets get tighter and the expectation to reduce costs continues to rise, all businesses are on the lookout for ways to save. While some of the more obvious costs are quickly considered, reducing energy usage and the associated costs is a critical item to consider. While carbon steel …
With excellent chemical resistance, HDPE (or poly pipe) can be used in a wide range of chemical processes and applications. Recognising this, in late 2022, our specialist Fabrication team was selected to design, fabricate, and test a Hydrochloric Acid Unloading Priming Tank for a large multinational organisation. An HDPE prefabrication success story The tank – …
Water contamination is a common and widespread health risk throughout South-East Asia. To purify drinking water in many countries across this region, a process called ‘reverse osmosis’ is used to make water safe for human consumption. It’s considered one of the most effective forms of water filtration. It works by pushing water through a microscopically …
Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right. But for many communities around the world — particularly those in remote, island locations — it remains a challenge, with logistical, environmental, and technical obstacles to overcome to deliver safe and reliable drinking water. The best material for chemical dosing systems Recently, the team at …
When it comes to selecting materials for various applications, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) often emerge as popular choices. Each material’s unique benefits and features make it suitable for specific applications. In this article, we will explore the advantages of both GRP and HDPE, compare their key features, and provide examples of …
The Importance of Desalination Solutions and HDPE As the demand for fresh water continues to rise, desalination solutions have become essential for converting seawater into potable water. When selecting materials for desalination plants, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the preferred choice due to its durability, chemical resistance, and ease of installation. Compared to glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), …
