Mining & Resources Supporting an innovative and sustainable mining industry.

Partner with Australia’s most complete pipeline infrastructure provider.

Clover offers holistic design-led packages that go beyond simple supply and delivery. Our approach completely bridges the gap between the planning, source, and supply of sophisticated future-facing pipeline infrastructure systems for the mining sector.

Plan

Every mining and resource extraction project is unique. Regardless of commodity—whether coal, iron ore, precious metals, lithium, or CSG—Clover combines specialist technical knowledge, creative thinking, and extensive experience to assist you with detailed planning and consultation services.

Source

Total-package capability means we source a wide range of standard and custom products: rapidly, and as needs evolve on site. We offer a wide range of products spanning fit-for-purpose Polyethylene, Steel, Ductile Iron, PVC, and GRP pipe products to suit a range of mining applications. Clover products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and certified to relevant Australian and international standards, including ISO9001 and ISO45001.

Supply

In the face of hard deadlines and shifting priorities, Clover is perfectly suited to deliver over the long haul: both in time and distance. With multiple distribution centres strategically located across Australia and a proven ability to supply large scale remote mining projects—like Fortescue’s joint venture Iron Bridge magnetite mine—we’ve got the capability to support ongoing site operation.
