What is a Riser Pipe?

A Riser Pipe is manufactured for the transportation of liquid, grout, and other substances from one level to another. A traditional application of riser pipes is in construction, where they enable vertical transportation of various substances. In our local pipe machining facility, we have the capabilities to machine threaded ends onto all sorts of pipes and tubes at whatever length our customers require.

What are Riser Pipes used for?

In one application, our Riser Pipes have been used to bypass a concrete footing in the execution of ‘upstage grouting’, a process that uses our Multiple Pass Sleeve Port (MPSP) Pipe. Pipes can be machined with internal and external threads to enable a very secure pipe join. In this example the pipes were threaded, however pipe ends can be weld or solder fitted as per customer specification.

What materials are used for Riser Pipes?

Our commonly used pipe material is PVC due to its cost effectiveness and availability. Alternatively, stainless steel, bronze, or extruded thermoplastics can also be manufactured to suit. Pipes can be supplied in lengths up to 6m or cut to specification.

What industries are Riser Pipes used in?

Riser Pipes are used primarily in construction and earthworks, agriculture, oil and gas, mining, drilling and exploration. All manufacturing of Riser Pipes is completed at one of AE’s machining centres in Western Australia, providing a local and cost-effective solution for our customers.
