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 …
High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes – also known as poly pipes or PE pipes – are quickly becoming known as the most environmentally friendly pipes on the market. They’re an excellent alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. HDPE pipe manufacturing began in Australia in the 1950s, but developers didn’t initially create it as a more environmentally …

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. A HDPE prefabrication success story The tank – …
Maxi stub flanges — comprising a hybrid stub flange and backing ring — are a quick and effective solution to reduce a flange size whilst keeping your HDPE pipeline internal diameter (ID) consistent. They’re particularly useful when your poly pipe system features a magnetic flow meter. That’s because maxi flange adaptors are specifically designed for …
Save time, de-risk your project, and have confidence knowing that your pipe system has been certified to NATA standards with Advanced Piping Systems.
When a large South Australian processing plant engaged Advanced Piping Systems to help increase the capacity of its saltwater intake cooling system, we knew our HDPE pipe — and prefabrication team — were up for the challenge.
At Advanced Piping Systems, we’ve been proudly supplying Australia’s mining industry for more than 20 years. In 2018, a main water line at one of Australia’s most prominent mines began to rust, causing minor leaks. Preventing a major leakage was a real challenge. Matthew Gooden, Advanced Piping Systems’ QLD Business Development Manager, was called upon …
Poly pipe electrofusion welders are often needed to fit, join, or fabricate poly pipe on-site. Welders are most often used by maintenance crews on large scale jobs such as: water treatment plants chemical process plants; and commercial irrigation systems. They can also be used on civil projects such as: water pipelines or renewals; or fire …
