Our Resources

Pure Piping trade personnel are second-to-none in the field, highly qualified, experienced and committed to working along-side our clients to provide exceptional results. Our core team have Trade Certificates in Engineering (Fabrication) or Plumbing and most have attained Certificate 7in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) to AS1796.

Pure Piping employees are all entitled to the PPTEU’s enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA).

The decision for our company to sign the EBA was to ensure our employees work under the best industry agreement and entitlements for them (e.g. RDOs, holiday leave, long service leave, redundancy fund).

The best conditions ensure we have the best employees in our unique high purity industry.

We have recently doubled our factory space at 32 The Concord, Bundoora. This has increased our premises to 640sq metres. Our factory is home to additional equipment such as our forklift, brake press, band saw’s, pedestal drill, polishing grinders and a range of material stock.
