Infrastructure Products Australia (IPA), a CRH Company, has announced the successful completion of its second strategic acquisition in 2023. The acquisition of Burdens Australia follows the acquisition of Tri-Underground earlier this year and marks a significant milestone for IPA as it continues to strengthen its position as a key player in the infrastructure sector. Burdens Australia is known for its expertise in manufacturing and supplying specialised civil, electrical, plumbing, rail and water products in the infrastructure market, and has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality solutions and fostering lasting relationships with clients and partners.

“We are delighted to welcome Burdens Australia to the Infrastructure Products Australia family,” said Kevin Savory, Managing Director of IPA. “This strategic acquisition reflects our dedication to providing comprehensive, innovative infrastructure solutions. The expertise and capabilities of the Burdens Australia team align perfectly with our vision and commitment to delivering cutting-edge products and services that address the evolving needs of the industry.”

The addition of Burdens Australia to the IPA portfolio will drive innovation, enhance service offerings, provide clients with broader solutions in the West Australian market, and expand Burdens’ product range on the East Coast. The acquisition will enable IPA to further contribute to the growth and development of the infrastructure sector in Australia and beyond.

“We are excited to join forces with Infrastructure Products Australia,” said Paul Johnson, Founder/CEO of Burdens Australia. “This relationship opens up new opportunities for us to expand our reach on the East Coast and continue delivering excellence in the infrastructure products industry. We will create synergies that benefit our clients, employees, and stakeholders.”

The integration process is underway, with IPA and Burdens Australia working collaboratively to ensure a smooth transition for employees, clients, customers, and partners. IPA remains committed to upholding the high standards of service and innovation that both organisations are known for.

Infrastructure Products Australia (IPA), a CRH Company, is proud to announce that it has acquired Tri-Underground, a leading supplier of infrastructure solutions, including PVC connectors, conduits, pits, and lids serving the growing electrical and communication infrastructure markets. The acquisition aligns perfectly with IPA’s existing product and solutions offering and helps scale up its presence in Australia.

Residential development and major road and utility upgrades drive increased demand for infrastructure solutions across Australia. IPA will further cement its reputation as a market leader by broadening its exposure to the electrical and communication sectors. The acquisition will also increase cross-selling opportunities for both companies, particularly in the areas of transport and utility infrastructure, where Tri-Underground has long-term relationships with utilities and road specification departments across Australia.

Our TMR-approved kerb unit is produced using a semi-automated system that allows for the creation of multiple kerb units per day in a safe and efficient manner. Designed and assembled internally, IPA’s machine produces one-piece precast kerb units to our strict consistency standards.

This is a standard part for TMR and complements the Aus Pits range of Stormwater Pits.

As Technical Director, Chris Hopkins explains:

“The automation process allows us to produce Kerb Units without inducing stripping stress into the product allowing us to shorten our lead-times and increase capacity utilisation of our moulds, hence giving us a superior offer to the market. We’ll be continually improving the design and operation, and once our workflow becomes streamlined, we’ll look towards implementing further machines across Australia to produce other local kerb units.”

 “We currently provide state-specific kerb units in NSW and Victoria, we will continue to monitor the performance of these offers to understand what benefits can be achieved by automating some or all of the manufacturing processes.”

The new automated process also delivers flexibility, accommodating a variety of kerb unit sizes.
