Across Australia, large-scale operations rely on high-quality water storage, transfer, and pipeline assets.

From process water pipelines on mines and irrigation systems in agriculture, to civil water reticulation and remote community assets for local councils, performance, resilience and compliance are non-negotiable.

Store and direct this precious resource for decades with Stripes. Ready to mobilise on regional sites, we engineer, fabricate and install durable water infrastructure for diverse industries. Handling all welding, civil works, and installation elements in-house, our end-to-end approach maximises safety, efficiency and reliability.

Get In Touch Our Projects

Polywelding & fabrication

We deliver in-house polyethylene (PE) pipe welding and fabrication for water management infrastructure. Our crews perform on-site butt welding and electrofusion welding for a wide range of pipe diameters, ensuring high-strength, leak-free joints. Every weld is fully logged and traceable, with QA documentation supplied as standard.

Pipeline installation support

Gain a safe pipeline system built to last. Our installation services cover end-to-end construction, from trenching and bedding to pipe laying, backfilling and reinstatement. Large-diameter pipe runs, valves and fittings are handled with precision to maintain alignment, asset protection and compliance with project specs.

Civil water structures

We build robust, future-ready concrete infrastructure to protect and control water flows, including drainage systems, culverts, and dam and channel maintenance works. Each civil water structure is designed and constructed to suit specific site conditions, hydraulic requirements and Australian Standards.

Testing, commissioning & QA

All water infrastructure works are rigorously tested and commissioned before handover. This includes pressure testing, weld logging and full material and weld traceability. With a complete QA pack provided upon completion, you can be confident in compliance with project, regulatory and safety criteria.

An excellent and well led team. Stripes focuses on solutions and keeping momentum on the project – resulting in an on time and on budget outcome.

FAQs

We have extensive experience working across a range of water infrastructure projects in mining, civil and agriculture. This includes dewatering and process water pipelines for mining operations, irrigation systems and dam upgrades for agricultural sites, and water reticulation and mains for subdivisions and local councils.

From a standalone wastewater pipeline to vast stormwater infrastructure, we can scale our approach to suit the demands of each project.

Yes. We can take care of your entire project from start to finish. This includes civil earthworks, trenching and bedding, polyethylene pipe welding, pipeline installation, concrete structures, and final testing and commissioning.

By keeping these services under one roof, our water infrastructure company can streamline coordination, avoid unnecessary delays, and provide greater cost certainty.

At Stripes, all welding is completed by certified polywelders using approved procedures in line with Australian and ISO standards. More specifically, each weld is logged and traceable, with pressure testing carried out to confirm joint integrity.

We will also equip you with a full QA pack upon completion, providing peace of mind in the strength and reliability of your pipeline.

Yes. We carry out dam and channel maintenance, upgrades and reconstruction for existing water infrastructure across Australia.

These services play an important role in reducing the risk of failure, minimising water loss and ensuring systems continue to operate as intended.

If you are responsible for irrigation, flood mitigation and water supply infrastructure, contact our team today for practical maintenance solutions.

Water infrastructure projects tend to be delivered under lump-sum, schedule-of-rates or subcontract arrangements, depending on the scope and requirements.
