Custom pipe coils for complex jobs

Australian Custom Pipes can now provide a range of custom coils up to 500m in length. 

Pipeline projects are expanding in size in order to keep up with rising populations and industrial growth. At the same time, pipelines reaching the end of their lives are having to be repaired or replaced. 

Ask anyone involved in civil infrastructure and they’ll tell you that open trench work in urban environments is logistically complicated, with the cost of reinstating paved surfaces and streetscape through the roof. 

Fortunately, trenchless technology allows these transformative projects to take place without the environmental or economic downsides of open trench work. But as these projects often cover great underground distances, effective execution requires custom solutions. 

Fortunately, Australian Custom Pipes (ACP) has been delivering exactly that for the past 20 years. 

ACP managing director Dennis Jones put it best. 

“If it’s a bit out of the ordinary, we are the team to assist you with your pipe supply.” 

The independent, Australian-owned pipe manufacturer has supported countless projects around the country and has continually proven to be compatible with trenchless methods of construction.

But never one to rest on its laurels, ACP has now significantly expanded its capabilities to manufacture even larger custom length pipe coils. 

“As directional drilling projects get larger and longer, ACP has upgraded its pipe extrusion equipment, allowing us to deliver longer coils for our customer’s projects,” Jones said. 

“We have had several customers requiring longer coils for underground river crossings, with thicker walls to suit their application.”

In addition to its existing range of products, ACP can now manufacture and supply: 

  • 140mm pipe coils up to roughly 150m long
  • 63mm pipe coils up to roughly 500m long
  • pipes up to 63mm on steel or wooden drums.

ACP is able to provide coils for a range of applications, including PE gas pipes, PE water pipes, PE electrical conduits, PE communication conduits, and compressed air systems. 

This also includes plastic mouldings and custom fabrications 

ACP is recognised in the market for cost-competitive quality products and excellent customer service.

The company knows how important it is for deliveries to be on time, as nobody wants to keep their crew on standby waiting around for a truck to arrive.

ACP keeps its delivery date promises and works closely with clients to coordinate the best outcomes.

ACP prides itself on its quick turn-around times, both in customer service and manufacturing, and its products are approved to supply water authorities from Adelaide to south-east Queensland.

The company is dedicated to employing ever-increasing modern machinery and rigid inspections procedures throughout its manufacturing processes to ensure a high standard of accuracy with pipes, fittings, and fabrications.

ACP has helped enable the effective delivery of pipeline projects for over 20 years. As the industry has grown in complexity, so too has the company’s technical capabilities.
