Caldersafe Mobile uses Bluetooth technology to collect weld data for all electrofusion joints and transmits this directly to your email inbox, providing real-time tracking.

Clients can now identify non-conforming joints by images and rectify, saving costs on projects and improving quality.

Sales, repairs and calibrations of HDPE welding equipment

Caldertech offers full support services at its facilities in Perth or through one of its service agents located across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

The company’s in-house technicians and service agents are trained to high standards to carry out diagnostic tests, repairs and calibrations of your butt fusion and electrofusion welding units using specific test equipment with the latest service information supplied by the manufacturer. This reduces ownership costs and ensures products have a long service-life.
