The plumber who already knows the plant.
PVS Plumbing is a Penrith-based industrial plumber that keeps manufacturing sites running. The Brickworks group’s brick plants and Yates Manufacturing have kept Peter Smith on their books for more than 20 years each, and Knauf Gypsum’s plasterboard plant for 15.
We install and maintain process water, compressed air, gas and drainage pipework in copper, stainless steel, HDPE and PVC, plan shutdown work around production, and send SWMS and certificates of currency before we arrive.
The pipework a plant runs on.
Eight systems, installed new or maintained on an account. Running a club, warehouse or strata building instead? See commercial plumbing.
Process water
Process and hygienic lines in stainless steel and pressure PVC, run to drawings, pressure tested and flushed.
Compressed air
Mains, drops and extensions in copper, stainless steel or aluminium, run to the plant’s layout.
Gas supply to kilns and burners
Supply lines to kilns, burners and plant equipment, pressure tested, with the Certificate of Compliance lodged through eCert.
Plant tie-ins and relocations
New plant connected, equipment moved and lines extended, inside the shutdown window.
Pumps and booster sets
Diagnosed, removed and refitted on site. Rebuilds go to a pump specialist, then back in and tested.
Trade waste and drainage
Trade waste lines, floor drains and pits in HDPE and PVC, jetted and filmed when they block.
Emergency showers and eyewash
Plumbed units installed, flow tested and certified, and the supply fixed when a test fails.
Backflow protection
Process connections and fire services protected by testable devices, tested every year and lodged with Sydney Water.
Drawings first, then the tools.
Plant work lives or dies on the program. The discipline is the same on every job, from a single tie-in to a full shutdown.
Drawings first.
Send the drawings, the equipment list and the window. We price from them and ask our questions before the shutdown, not during it.
Paperwork lodged.
SWMS for the scope, certificates of currency with the induction, and permits to work raised before a tool is lifted.
Isolations agreed.
Every isolation point walked with your maintenance lead, then locked out and tagged for the duration.
Inside the window.
Work runs to the agreed window. Lines are pressure tested and flushed before the plant goes back into production.
Records handed over.
Photos through the job, test results where the work calls for them, and marked-up drawings on request.
The right pipe for what it carries.
Eight pipe systems, each matched to its job. This is the map we work to.

Long-term industrial plumbing accounts: Brickworks, Yates Manufacturing and Knauf Gypsum.
Manufacturing sites keep a plumber on the call list when the plumber already knows the plant: where the isolations are, which line runs where, and what the shutdown calendar looks like.
Peter has been plumbing since 2000 and has run PVS since 2017. The accounts on the right span that whole time.
