Shield your building’s drainage system from costly damage with Steelmark’s industrial-grade downpipe protectors, designed to safeguard stormwater pipes and infrastructure in busy environments. Built tough for Australian conditions, our protectors provide a physical barrier that prevents vehicles, trolleys, and equipment from colliding with exposed downpipes and wall-mounted services.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised or powder-coated steel, Steelmark downpipe guards are suitable for warehouses, car parks, shopping centres, and loading docks. Each protector is surface-mounted or anchored securely to concrete, offering high-impact resistance with minimal maintenance.
Protect your stormwater systems, reduce repair costs, and comply with workplace safety standards with a proven solution trusted by builders, facility managers, and commercial property owners across Australia.
Generally, no. Steelmark’s downpipe protectors are made from corrosion-resistant materials like hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated steel, requiring minimal upkeep. Periodic inspections are recommended to ensure bolts are secure and there is no physical damage from impacts.
Installing downpipe protectors is the most effective method. These are steel barriers that wrap around or stand in front of the downpipe, absorbing impact and deflecting trolleys, forklifts, and vehicles before they reach the pipe. Surface mounting makes them quick to install and highly effective.
The primary purpose is to:
Prevent impact damage to stormwater and plumbing infrastructure
Reduce maintenance and repair costs
Enhance safety in areas where services are exposed to vehicle traffic
They’re essential in loading zones, warehouses, car parks, and anywhere downpipes are vulnerable.
High-impact protection for stormwater systems
Durable construction suitable for indoor and outdoor environments
Easy installation on most hard surfaces
Reduces costly plumbing and building repairs
Improves safety compliance in commercial and industrial sites
