What We Supply

What We Supply to Mining

DM Plastics & Steel supplies polyethylene (PE) piping systems and accessories for mine water, dewatering, tailings services, fire protection, gas, sewer and site utilities across Australia. Our approach – Producing Solutions – means we combine poly pipe and fittings with in-house R&D to engineer practical, made-for-site answers when standard options don’t quite fit. We back this with ISO 9001 Quality Assurance, in-house testing and a delivery mindset focused on on-time and in-full delivery.

Why Choose DM Plastics

Our Point of Difference

Producing Solutions, not just products When a standard SKU won’t do, we’ll co-engineer the answer—alternate colour jackets, identification stripes, special lengths, handling/installation guidance and on-site weld QA support.

 

Local accountability, delivered on time and in full Short decision chains from factory floor to leadership, pragmatic logistics planning and a proven “delivered ON TIME and IN FULL” focus keep programs moving.

 

Breadth with buildability From potable water and fire mains to gas, sewer, recycled water, slurry and site conduits, we supply a complete, compatible system with fittings you can actually build with—fast.

Mining FAQs

What sizes and pressure classes are available?
Up to and including DN630 in pressures rated to SDR41 – SDR7.4 (PN4 – PN25).
Yes – pipe diameter and pressure rating (wall thickness) must be considered to allow for de-rating. White co-ex is recommended for above ground applications to manage heat gain and thermal control.
We supply electrofusion and fabricated/moulded fittings, plus compression fitting options for pipe joining.

Yes – our in-house R&D and production teams can produce alternative colours/stripes, print and custom lengths subject to feasibility and minimum order quantities. Speak with our team for made-for-site answers when standard options don’t quite fit.

HDPE is widely used for mine water, tailings and slurry transfer. We can confirm suitability per duty.
