The company offers sole-source accountability for streamlined delivery of sustainable water infrastructure to meet community and business needs. Formed in 2008, Water Infrastructure Group combines the complementary skills of the former Earth Tech water projects group with Tyco’s Water Technology Australia and Water Services businesses.
Peter Everist, General Manager of the new group, said that Water Infrastructure Group was created to respond to the needs of customers and current developments in the water industry.
“Our business is a unique combination of design, build, operate and maintenance services for water and wastewater infrastructure. We have won Australian and international awards for our design/build projects and we are Australia’s most experienced private owner and operator of water recycling schemes that deliver over 20 GL of recycled water per year,” Mr Everist said.
“Water Infrastructure Group is an Australian leader for pipeline maintenance and renovation. We are Australia’s leading specialist for in-situ lining or replacement of existing pipelines, asset management, preventative maintenance and emergency repairs for pipeline systems. We also have specialised workshop facilities to manufacture and prefabricate components for treatment facilities and pipeline systems.”
“Our aim is to optimise buildability and operability to maximise the whole-of-life value of the infrastructure we deliver and maintain for our clients. Our real world knowledge of how to build and operate infrastructure feeds back to continually refine and improve our design, construction, manufacturing and maintenance processes,” he explained.

- Award winning innovation
