Industrial & commercial plumbing contractors · Coburg & Campbellfield, Melbourne
Maintenance specialists for recycling facilities and manufacturing plants. We keep process water, wash down, drainage and pipework systems running so production does not stop.
Recycling and manufacturing plants are hard on plumbing. Abrasive slurries, fibre, chemicals, high wash down volumes and constant vibration wear out pipework, pumps, valves and drains much faster than in a normal commercial building.
SWR Plumbing specialises in maintenance for these environments. We work inside large recycling and paper processing facilities and manufacturing sites in Melbourne, maintaining the water, drainage and process systems that production depends on.
Our focus is simple: fewer unplanned stoppages, faster repairs when something does fail, and equipment that lasts longer because it is maintained properly.
The biggest maintenance cost in a recycling or manufacturing plant is usually lost production. We plan work around that. Where a repair needs an isolation, we work with your maintenance planner to schedule it at a change of shift, a planned stop or a shutdown.
We also look for repeat failures. If the same drain blocks every month or the same section of pipe keeps wearing through, we report the cause and recommend a fix, such as a change in pipe material, a better cleanout location, additional supports or a different valve type.
For sustainability targets, we can reduce water and energy waste by fixing leaks on water and air systems, upgrading wash down equipment and improving how process water is reused where the site allows it.
Maintenance work often sits alongside planned programs and project work. See our industrial plant maintenance page for scheduled maintenance programs, and our industrial plumbing Melbourne page for the full range of services. We service plants across Melbourne, including Campbellfield, Thomastown and Laverton North.
Reactive work is charged on labour and materials. For regular maintenance we can agree a scheduled visit program with set rates, which makes budgeting easier and usually reduces breakdown costs over a year.

Yes. We clear, repair and replace process drainage, pits and trade waste lines, and use jetting and CCTV inspection to find the cause of repeat blockages.
Yes. Our crews complete site inductions and work to each site’s safety rules, permits and lockout procedures. We can supply SWMS, insurance and licence details for contractor onboarding.
No. We work on large recycling and manufacturing facilities and on smaller factories and workshops. The approach is the same: plan around production and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
