Tesmec Australia featured in The Australian Pipeliner: trenching innovation recognised by the industry

We are pleased to share that Tesmec Australia has been featured in The Australian Pipeliner, the leading magazine for pipeline and energy infrastructure in Australia.

In its recent article titled “Calling in the big guns”, the magazine highlights our trenching expertise and the deployment of our 1150 EVO CS and 985 CS machines on a complex water pipeline project.

This mention is meaningful to us. The Australian Pipeliner is a trusted voice in the industry, read by professionals, contractors and decision-makers across Australia. Being recognised in its pages confirms the value of our contribution to some of the sector’s most demanding challenges.

A trusted voice in pipeline and civil infrastructure

The Australian Pipeliner is a benchmark publication for professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of pipeline and civil infrastructure projects. Widely read by engineers, contractors, operators and asset owners, the magazine provides valuable insights on best practices, new technologies, and standout project execution.

Being featured in its editorial coverage is a clear indicator of industry trust and professional recognition. For Tesmec Australia, it affirms our position as a key player in mechanised trenching and civil construction support.

Meeting the challenge of complex ground conditions

The pipeline project discussed in the article posed several technical challenges, including hard rock formations and varied soil profiles across the alignment. In such environments, traditional excavation methods often fall short, increasing delays and costs.

That’s where the Tesmec trenching systems come into play. The 1150 EVO CS, equipped with advanced chain technology and a powerful digging module, and the 985 CS, known for its versatility and durability, were deployed to handle the task.

Both machines are designed to optimise trenching operations with high productivity, precision depth control, and minimal environmental disruption, ideal for linear infrastructure projects such as pipelines, power corridors, and fibre optic installations.

Trenching as a strategic advantage

At Tesmec, we believe that trenching is more than excavation, it’s a strategic phase of infrastructure development that directly impacts project efficiency and cost control.

By deploying the right mechanised solution, operators can reduce manual intervention, mitigate safety risks, and maintain consistency across changing soil conditions. Our trenchers are built not only for performance, but for adaptability in real-world conditions, where no two sites are alike.

Recognition that reinforces our vision

This media recognition is important because it validates the direction we’ve taken as a company: combining engineering excellence with field-tested reliability.

It also reflects the close collaboration between our technical teams and project stakeholders, who share a commitment to delivering infrastructure that meets the needs of communities, industries and future growth.

Our commitment to innovation and service

Beyond machines, Tesmec Australia offers end-to-end trenching support, from equipment selection and configuration to on-site training, maintenance and long-term service contracts. We’re proud to be a partner of choice for contractors and project developers seeking to de-risk complex builds and improve long-term asset performance.

Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in high-performance trenching solutions and stay closely aligned with the evolving needs of the pipeline and civil works sectors.
