Proudly Australian, Family-Owned and Operated
Fox Global has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted providers of pipe, hose, and fitting solutions. As a family-owned and Australian-operated company, we understand the critical role reliability, quality, and compliance play in keeping major projects moving forward.
Over the past 12 months, our team has manufactured and supplied large volumes of 5 inch (125mm) and 4 inch (100mm) Schedule 40 Black Steel Pipe with Weld-On Roll Grooved Ends for tunnelling projects in Sydney and Melbourne. These pipes, designed for strength and versatility, are now forming part of Australia’s most significant infrastructure developments.
The Role of Roll Grooved Pipe in Infrastructure
Roll grooved pipe systems are widely recognised as one of the most efficient, durable, and cost-effective solutions for fluid transfer and piping networks in heavy-duty environments.
By machining a precise groove onto the end of the pipe, fittings, couplings, and valves can be quickly and securely attached without the need for complex welding at every joint. For tunnelling and civil projects where speed, safety, and reliability are critical, roll grooved pipe offers a perfect balance of strength and efficiency.
Fox Global’s welded-on roll grooved pipe sections are used to connect longer pipe lengths, elbows, tees, and other fittings — providing a robust yet flexible pipeline solution that can handle the demanding conditions of tunnelling projects.
Our Fabrication Capabilities
Fox Global manufactures roll grooved pipes in a wide range of sizes and specifications to suit diverse project requirements.
Our capabilities include:
- Standard sizes – from 2 inch (50mm) up to 12 inch (300mm) diameters.
- Wall thickness options – Schedule 40 for standard applications, and Schedule 80 for heavy-duty, abrasive, or high-pressure environments.
- Custom fabrication – tailored to suit specific elbows, tees, and complex piping configurations.
- Onsite welding and preparation – ensuring pipes are project-ready and easy to install.
This versatility allows us to support projects across tunnelling, mining, water transfer, civil works, and infrastructure.
Why Choose Roll Grooved Pipe?
Roll grooved systems are a preferred choice for tunnelling and infrastructure projects because they combine strength with simplicity.
Some key benefits include:
- Faster installation – reduced reliance on time-consuming onsite welding.
- Safer worksites – fewer hot works, making projects safer underground.
- Flexibility – couplings allow for limited movement, helping reduce stress on pipe systems.
- Durability – suitable for high-pressure water, slurry, and other tough applications.
- Scalable solutions – easily adapted to a wide range of pipe diameters and wall thicknesses.
These advantages make roll grooved pipes an essential part of Australia’s growing tunnelling projects, where safety, reliability, and timeframes are always under pressure.
Supporting Sydney & Melbourne Tunnelling Projects
Over the last 12 months, Fox Global has played a hands-on role in Sydney and Melbourne’s major tunnelling works.
Our 4 inch (100mm) and 5 inch (125mm) Schedule 40 black steel roll grooved pipes have been fabricated and delivered directly to site, where they are welded to longer pipe runs, elbows, tees, and fittings.
By supplying ready-to-install, roll grooved ends, we’ve helped contractors save significant time onsite while ensuring every section of pipe maintains the strength, safety, and compliance standards expected in these projects.
Schedule 80 for Abrasive Environments
Not all projects are the same. In tunnelling and mining, some applications require even greater resistance to abrasion and pressure. That’s why Fox Global also fabricates roll grooved pipes from Schedule 80 heavy-walled steel pipe.
These pipes are designed for harsher conditions, including:
- Slurry transfer lines
- Abrasive fluid applications
- High-pressure systems
- Heavy mechanical environments
With Schedule 80 options available, Fox Global ensures that even the toughest projects can rely on long-lasting, durable pipe systems.
