About us

Design and Supply

Novafast is a global company offering cutting-edge technology in

composite pipes and materials.

“ It is estimated that the world demand for composite pipes is approxi-

mately $17 billion and rising, not including other necessities such as
installation, logistics and consultancy. Novafast is already preparing for
the present and future demands of the market.”

Novafast is an Australian company supplying composite pipes, epoxy

based treatments, waterproof chemicals, membranes to joint and grouts,
coatings and related products worldwide.

Novafast offers complete design systems for structures, plant and

equipment, where on-going costs of corrosion are not only counted in
downtime, but also in the increasing costs attributed to environmental
and safety issues.

Novafast’s expertise is the blueprint for our company to operate effectively

and consistently across our businesses worldwide.

Supply directly or through licensed contractors, our capabilities extend

across a broad range of service solutions already succesfully delivered
on-shore and off-shore, always offering innovative technologies to diverse

Production Process
Novafast pipes are made by high-strength continuous fibreglass filament winding process, with exclusively
self-retained manufacturing techniques. Our self-developed internal heating curing technique and computer
controlled winding allows quality control during the whole course of production. We are always pursuing
new techniques to improve our products, with continuous innovation as a focus to providing the best
solutions for the market.

Quality Control
Selection and Inspection of Raw Material
Before selecting raw materials, we make an overall evaluation for production, checking through our quality
control systems.

All material inspection standards are stablished according to the pipe quality requirements and each item is
examined and inspection procedures are performed accordingly.

Fully Accredited Pipe and
Composites Training Course

At Novafast we know when composite materials are

installed correctly, end users get maximum operating
benefits from their NovaFlo® or NovaLine™ piping
systems. It is proven that most composite pipeline
failures occur at the commissioning phase of a project;
it is our vision to ensure this does not happen.

We implement this by enrolling Pipe Installers and

Supervisors through to Engineers and Quality Inspectors
in our specialised courses. Each course has both a
practical and theory component. The participant is
then required to demonstrate their understanding of
NovaFlo® or NovaLine™ piping systems by completing
a closed book examination. On completion of the
nominated course, the student is issued a certificate in
accordance with:

• RIICRC208D Lay Pipes

• ISO 14692-4 D4 GRE Jointer
• ISO 14692-4 D5 GRE Supervisor
• ISO 14692-4 D6 GRE Inspector

Our courses are the first of its kind, as we simulate live

worksite with in field experiences. The course can also
be set up on site for a nominated project.

Knowing that the construction industry is the most

challenging and potencially dangerous of industries,
we believe in educating the work force before they
undertake the job.

Novafast series

Novafast 1000 is a high build coating for wear and corrosion

applications. Can be used as a protective or structural coating,
laminating resin for fibreglass or as corrosion prevention
coating in severe chemical environments.

Novafast coatings can be used across various surfaces, such as

concrete, steel, etc. Its versatility provides a wide range of wear
and corrosion protection across multiple applications from
outdoor to severe chemical applications.

Novafast coatings are recommended where surfaces have

significant wear and impact. Novafast coatings resistance to
physical and chemical damage make it ideal for a wide range
of durable surface coatings and lining applications.
Application Benefits
In plants where Sulphuric Acid, Hydrocloric Acid and Caus-
tic solutions are used, non-slip, acid proof and thermal
shock resistant floors are a necessity.

In facilities where high levels of hazardous chemicals may

pollute the ground-water, Novafast products provide
protection against spills and leakage.

Novafast Coatings are suitable for:

• Chemical processing applications

• Food and beverage industries
• Mining and mineral extraction
• Water and waste treatment plants
• Acid Plants – foundries and metal treatment
• Meat processing plants and battery farms
• Chemical storage and tank farms
