Industrial & commercial plumbing contractors · Coburg & Campbellfield, Melbourne
Compressed air main installation, leak repairs and maintenance, plus gas supply to plant and equipment. Reliable air and gas for the tools and processes your site depends on.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a factory. A leaking air main runs the compressor longer, raises the power bill and drops pressure at the machines that need it. Poorly designed pipework causes pressure loss, moisture problems and unreliable tools.
SWR Plumbing installs, repairs and maintains compressed air systems and gas supply lines for industrial sites across Melbourne. We look at the whole system, from the compressor room to the drops at each machine, and fix the problems that cost you money.
A good compressed air system delivers clean, dry air at stable pressure with as little waste as possible. That depends on pipe sizing, layout, materials and maintenance. Undersized mains and long dead legs are common in plants that have grown over the years, and the result is pressure drop at the far end of the factory.
When we work on an air system we check pipe sizes against demand, look for unnecessary restrictions, confirm drainage points and test for leaks. Our recommendations focus on practical improvements: replacing a section of undersized main, adding a ring main to balance pressure, or fixing the leaks that account for most of the waste.
Gas work is carried out by licensed gasfitters to the relevant Australian Standards, with compliance certificates issued on completion.
We work on air and gas systems in factories and plants across Melbourne, including Campbellfield, Thomastown, Derrimut, Bayswater and Dandenong South. See our industrial plumbing page for related services.
It depends on the length of main, pipe material, number of drops and access. We measure up on site and provide a fixed quote, with options for different pipe systems where relevant.
Leaks in older systems commonly account for a significant share of compressor output. Finding and fixing them is usually one of the quickest ways to cut compressor running costs.
Modular aluminium systems are common for new installations because they are clean inside and easy to extend. Copper and steel are still used, and the right choice depends on pressure, size, environment and budget.
