Tyco Water continues to provide 950 Australian Jobs

While other companies continue to source products from overseas, it is refreshing to see that Tyco Water is extending, its already significant, commitment to Australian manufacturing. Included in this commitment to Australian manufacturing is the fact that Tyco Water continues to provide 950 Australian jobs. A leading supplier to the Australian water industry, Tyco Water believes that its innovative Australian workforce has enabled the company to continue setting industry standards, through the creation of world leading products, such as SINTAKOTE Steel Pipeline Systems.

Tyco Water has used its 950 strong Australian workforce to drive much of the company’s recent prosperity. “Our company’s recent prosperity has enabled growth and as a result Tyco Water has decided to increase its Australian manufacturing presence, by opening a new SINTAKOTE Steel Pipeline Systems manufacturing facility in Somerton, VIC.” states Tyco Waters Marketing Engineer, Michael Loconte. By increasing its Australian manufacturing presence, Tyco Water is effectively ensuring that the benefits associated with the creation of market leading developments such as SINATKOTE, continue to fuel the Australian economy, along with ensuring there is a fruitful creation of jobs for future generations.

As overseas competitors begin to attack, Tyco Water will not compromise quality and therefore remains committed to using the innovative talents of its 950 strong Australian workforce to help shape the future of Australia’s water industry.

SINTAJOINT put to the Test

Tyco Water is proud to announce the recent award of 160km of 813OD SINTAJOINT steel pipes and fittings for a high pressure water supply project in the United Arab Emirates.  We are also proud to advice that one of the SINTAJOINT pipes involved in the contract has successfully passed a third party verified type test of 5.31 MPa (53 Bar) as well as a vacuum test of -80 kPa.  These tests were conducted with the SINTAJOINT at maximum angular deflection (2 degrees) and maximum radial deflection (2%).

SINTAJOINT - simply one of the best water supply pipeline systems in the world. 

5 Million metres of SINTAKOTE Steel Pipe

The Brisbane steel pipe manufacturing facility recently celebrated the despatch of the final pipe for the Mt Miller water pipeline project in Gladstone.  The special significance of this pipe was that it brought the total length of SINTAKOTE pipe that has been manufactured to over 5 million metres.

SINTAKOTE has been in use since the early 1970's and has replaced all other coatings for the vast majority of steel water supply pipelines in Australia.

40 years, 10 million pipes, $40 million to the economy

Tyco Water Yennora, Australia’s only ductile iron pipe manufacturer, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and the launch of a significant development in its product portfolio, the TYTON 2100 Series*.

Celebrated by Kim Yeadon NSW Energy Minister and Minister for Western Sydney, local dignitaries, VIPs, customers and two hundred Tyco Water employees, the anniversary marks a number of significant community, environment and economic achievements of Tyco Water.

“The Tyco plant has provided jobs to more than 7,000 people since it opened its doors in 1962”, said Mr Yeadon.

“The important point for the community is that 90 per cent of these people are from the local area.

“Tyco contributes over $40 million to the state and national economy through employment, acquiring raw materials, power, gas, water and other services.

“This manufacturing facility has also recycled 2.5 million tonnes of scrap and waste steel that would otherwise have gone to landfill – enough to fill 2,000 football fields. The recycled waste has been used to produce 55,000 kilometres of iron pipe, which has been laid in more than 10 countries around the world.

“Tyco Water is using innovation to stay globally competitive and this is good for the economy of Western Sydney”, said Mr Yeadon.
