What our compressed air projects include

Most compressed air projects follow the same steps: design from the air demand, supply of the compressors and air treatment, pipework installation, then pressure testing and commissioning. We deliver compressed air projects for site owners directly and as a subcontractor to builders and mechanical services contractors.

Planning compressed air projects early in a build saves money, because pipe routes and plant room space can be agreed before other services go in. Our compressed air projects cover aviation, logistics, mining, manufacturing, education and automotive sites across NSW and interstate.
