GAS AND INDUSTRIAL PLUMBERS AUSTRALIA | JAMES GILES PLUMBING
James Giles Plumbing is a Queensland-Based team of Industrial Plumbers delivering Type B Gas, Industrial Plumbing, Gas Safety and Compliance and wider Industrial Contracting Solutions for Industrial and Commercial Sites. We work with operators across food and beverage, petrochemical, mining and manufacturing who need systems that are safe, compliant and built to last, backed by a team that combines trade-level skill with formal compliance authority.
WE'RE INDUSTRIAL PLUMBERS AND TYPE B GAS SPECIALISTS
At James Giles Plumbing, our team of Industrial Plumbers and Type B Gas Specialists are trusted by operation managers, maintenance managers, engineers and CEO's who need dependable technical delivery, not quick fixes. That dual capability matters because most Industrial Sites that run Plumbing and Gas Systems, have an network of systems interconnected, and problems at the boundary between multiple trades are where things usually going wrong. Having multi trade teams under one roof means one team designs, installs, problem solves and signs off the whole system, rather than juggling handoffs between separate contractors.

OUR APPROACH:
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL SITES
Industrial problems rarely respect trade boundaries. We assess the full picture, site conditions, compliance obligations, and where a business is headed, before recommending a fix, so it holds up in five years, not five months.
That includes looking at where a system could also cut energy use, reduce waste or recover value from a by-product already on site. Clean energy, sustainability and energy recovery aren't treated as a separate add-on; they're a lens we apply across every project, from a Type B Gas fuel-source conversion to an Industrial Plumbing upgrade. Where a client needs formal green accreditation for that work, we can connect them with the right certification partners to get it documented properly.
OUR SERVICES
We have four areas of specialist capability, each backed by its own dedicated team, and each shaped by the same focus on safety, compliance and long-term performance:
Type B Gas
High-output gas appliances above 10MJ/h fall outside standard certification and need individual design, approval and certification before they can operate. We manage Type B Gas systems for boilers, furnaces, dryers and other critical equipment from concept through to installation, commissioning and compliance sign-off, working across natural gas, LPG, biogas, hydrogen and blended fuel sources.
Industrial Plumbing
Domestic pipe sizing and fittings won't hold up on an industrial site. Incorrect sizing or a fitting rated for household use rather than continuous Industrial load is a common cause of failure on sites that were never assessed by someone with industrial experience. Our Industrial Plumbers design and install water, wastewater, stainless steel and hot water plant systems built for continuous production, with future planning, system monitoring and integration considered from the start, not bolted on afterwards.
Gas Safety and Compliance
From safety audits to un-odourised gas risk assessments, our compliance team keeps gas systems safe, documented and audit ready. This covers Type B Gas safety and approvals, hazardous gas installations, and the ongoing assessments that keep a site compliant as regulations and equipment change over time.
Industrial Contracting Services
Electrical, fabrication and welding, boilers and steam systems, clean energy upgrades, maintenance and shutdown support, plus equipment hire for generators, scissor lifts and boilers, all under one roof, so nothing falls between trades during a shutdown or a build. We also handle complex, specialist drain cleaning for sites that run continuously, like meat and food processing plants, scheduling work around production rather than the other way round.
THE DEDICATED TEAM BEHIND OUR WORK
Every project is backed by a team of licensed Industrial Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Technical Specialists who bring both trade skill and compliance authority to the table. That includes authorised Type B Gas Appliance Approval capability, so that the team on the same page can work together to design, install and sign off and can seamlessly work with third parties to make the process easier for you. Meet the team on our About Us and Team Profiles pages.

OUR INDUSTRY COMMITMENT
We're committed to raising the standard our Industrial Plumbers and Gas Fitters work to, through ongoing training, leadership development and a genuine focus on safety, compliance and innovation. That commitment extends to sustainability: we invest in understanding clean energy and energy recovery options so we can bring them into everyday project decisions, not just when a client specifically asks.
It's a commitment to our people as much as our industry. We support apprentices through to qualification, back mental health and community initiatives, and stay involved with the professional associations that set the standards our trade is measured against.
