Cleanflow Environmental Solutions

What Cleanflow Environmental Solutions does

Cleanflow Environmental Solutions is a privately held Australian company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Canning Vale, Western Australia, that specialises in inspecting, maintaining and repairing underground pipeline infrastructure using trenchless ("no-dig") technology. It serves government agencies, water utilities, municipal councils, civil construction firms and industrial clients in the mining and oil and gas sectors. Its service portfolio spans CCTV pipeline inspection (using WinCan VX software supporting pipes from 80mm to 2500mm diameter), high-pressure water jetting, UV-cured CIPP relining with German-manufactured GRP liners rated to a 100-year design life, non-destructive hydro-excavation, the proprietary ClearRoot root-intrusion treatment (a Dichlobenil-based foam with 20+ years of proven use), Smart Lock point repair (a 316 stainless-steel expandable system installed in approximately 10 minutes), and hazardous and non-hazardous liquid waste management. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for non-invasive pipe rehabilitation, supported by an in-house R&D function and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications.

The business operates a project-based quotation model with multi-year maintenance contracts and a 24-hour reactive service capability, deploying specialised equipment fleets (pressure jet units, combo vacuum/jetting units, CCTV units, relining equipment) directly to customer sites. Customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise field sales, government tender submissions and referrals. Active geographies include metropolitan and regional Western Australia, a New South Wales joint venture with Monadelphous for Sydney Water's largest CES project, and an international contract with the Vietnamese Government for CCTV and welding inspection work on a major infrastructure project. With six employees and no disclosed funding, the company is founder/owner-operated, privately financed, and management describes it as one of the few authentically West Australian-owned enterprises and a preferred supplier to government agencies and significant corporations.

Others

• Rädlinger primus GmbH: German manufacturer of CIPP and UV-cured lining systems, the supplier of Cleanflow's pre-impregnated GRP UV liner. Comparable as the upstream technology provider whose product portfolio underpins Cleanflow's relining offering; competes indirectly via its own installation services in some markets.
