They provide robust, sustainable solutions to serve the community’s growing needs for generations.

From metropolitan water authorities to small local councils, the company works closely with its customers to develop tailored solutions that work for its customers and the community.
Effective and efficient pipeline infrastructure management
Interflow demonstrated a proclivity for innovation early on. This was exemplified in the 1990s when the business pioneered trenchless pipeline rehabilitation.
By saving them time and costs associated with excavation, trenchless technologies have quickly become the preferred construction methods for local councils and water authorities across Australia and New Zealand.
The company recognises that asset owners have moved towards ‘trenchless tech’. Dig and replace methods, particularly in urban areas, can be disruptive. It can impact residents, commuters and the environment with dust, noise, and a hefty site footprint.
Trenchless technology can minimise these impacts. It reduces environmental disruption to a single point of entry and minimising project time and costs.
It presents valuable cost savings to local councils, who often look for the most efficient and effective ways to preserve critical pipeline infrastructure without compromising on quality.
Creating a healthy environment
As councils expect quality solutions that will support the community for years to come, there is also a demand for environmentally responsible solutions.
Throughout its history, Interflow’s people have worked in some of the most sensitive areas. They have always gone above and beyond to preserve and protect the working environment.
Trenchless technology enables service providers to remain customer-focused and environmentally savvy by reducing excavation emissions and environmental risks.
It is well established that trenchless pipeline construction methods also reduce air and noise pollution. It benefits the surrounding ecosystems of wildlife and residents.
Bringing the community along on the journey of updated pipeline infrastructure
Beyond the delivery of projects and environmental management, Interflow can manage all community engagement aspects of a project with expertise.
Open communication with residents is fundamental to keeping the community connected and informed. This includes providing regular updates, seeking permission to enter private property, and responding to residents’ concerns where appropriate.
Interflow strives to complete every project on time, within budget and without incident. This enables residents to go about their daily lives while knowing the water infrastructure beneath their neighbourhoods is operating reliably.
