Agricultural Plumbing and Water
Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the world, with around 70 per cent of the land either arid or semi-arid.
Despite this, Australia’s agricultural sector plays an important role in our society, contributing a gross value of over $67 billion to the Australian economy in 2019-2020 and employing around 3 per cent of the total workforce (source).
So, how does an incredibly dry country have such a significant and profitable agricultural industry?
Effective agricultural plumbing and water practices.
Plumbing and water is a crucial part of any farm, feedlot and saleyards facility.
Agricultural businesses rely on effective water management and plumbing solutions.
While our initial focus at PF Install Solutions was fencing and concreting, we quickly identified a need to adopt high quality agricultural plumbing and water installation into our service offering.
There are a lot of interfaces between plumbing, fencing and concreting, so it was a natural progression for us to offer all three services to our clients. We have found that our installation projects run smoother if we are providing all three trades.
Our guys have poly welding and onsite training provided to ensure they have the skills they need to provide high quality plumbing services on projects. Our supervisors have a wealth of experience to manage the job and carry out our QA process. We have recently completed our ISO accreditation which has helped us streamline and implement our QA procedures on a constant basis.
Our team have the capability and qualifications to perform a wide range of agricultural plumbing projects.
PF Install Solutions provides the following agricultural plumbing and water services:
Manifolds
We manufacture, supply and install tank, pump and turkeys nest manifolds in poly of all sizes. To achieve a custom result, we measure onsite or work from drawings and then fabricate the manifolds to suit the customers site specific requirements.
Header lines and poly lines
We supply and install header/feeder lines from supply tank to the troughs or other outlets, the lines are then plumbed into the relevant outlet.
