Global Water

What Global Water does

Global Water Group of Companies is an Adelaide-headquartered, privately held Australian water infrastructure manufacturer founded in 1977, specializing in packaged pump stations, stormwater treatment devices, and water treatment systems. Its product portfolio spans seven branded lines — EnviroLift (concrete and fibreglass municipal-grade pump stations up to 15m depth), DrainAce (polyethylene and concrete pump stations from 280L to 22,600L), EcoTreat (EN 858-1 Class 1 certified stormwater separators), e-Boost (variable-speed potable water booster systems), RainAce (rainwater re-use systems), GP Series (submersible cutter and grinder sewage pumps), Grease Muncher (grease arrestors), and MemX (reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration plants). Manufacturing is conducted at Clovelly Park, South Australia, with in-house chemical process and mechanical engineering capacity enabling custom design for residential, commercial, municipal, and remote mining applications.

The company generates revenue through project-based hardware sales (pump stations, treatment devices, filtration equipment) supplemented by professional design, engineering, installation, and commissioning services. Pricing is quote-based and varies with capacity, flow rate, and control system complexity. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales targeting councils, water authorities, developers, and main contractors (SA Water, McConnell Dowell, Fulton Hogan, OZ Minerals) with channel relationships across plumbing contractors, civil contractors, engineering consultancies (Greenhill, WGA), and builders. Marketing relies on content (case studies, blog, eBook), industry events (WA Major Projects Conference, SA BDM Network), and organic social channels.

Customer and project evidence indicates engagement across all mainland Australian states where the company actively markets: South Australia (headquarters, multiple SA Water northern Adelaide developments, Adelaide O-Bahn tunnel, Hotel Panorama), Western Australia (West Musgrave Mine with OZ Minerals), ACT (Canberra RO plant), and New South Wales. Key regulatory certifications — SA Water approval, WASA Standard, AS3735, AS/NZS1546.1, EN 858-1, and Australian Drinking Water Guidelines compliance — are central to the specification-based sales motion with engineers and municipal procurement.
