Caliber Pipelines

Caliber Pipelines is one of the largest producers of plastic pipes in the Australian market. The products manufactured are mainly for drainage and include pipes, fittings, subsoil drainage pipe, and stormwater detention systems. In addition, Caliber Pipelines also supplies the construction market with concrete column formwork.

Since 1980, when Rib Loc was first established, a strong focus on innovation and development has led the company to continually improve and introduce new products, taking pipe technologies to the next generation. In 2006 Rib Loc Pipe Products changed its name to Caliber Pipelines so that it could differentiate itself from the parent company Rib Loc Australia Pty Ltd.

As a testimony to this, several prestigious worldwide awards have been presented to Caliber in recognition of it’s achievements in innovative pipe technologies.
While its head office and main production site is located in Adelaide, Caliber also has sales and distribution centres in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to cover Australia and an international office in Germany.

Rib Loc Australia Pty Ltd employs 90 people worldwide and is now part of the global Chevalier Pipe Technologies Group.

Rib Loc Australia Pty Ltd develops, manufactures and markets innovative pipe products, pipe machinery and pipeline rehabilitation technologies worldwide. Rib Loc is the developer and worldwide manufacturer of the unique, patented technologies Rotaloc®, Expanda™ , Ribline™, and Ribsteel™. These plastic pipe products have been used all around the world for the rehabilitation of deteriorated pipelines with minimal disruption.
