Padman Water Solutions has been a distinguished player in the agriculture industry for over 35 years and established in the Burdekin for three, employing local people to support local farmers.
Launched from a shed in Victoria, John Padman created the original ‘Padman Stop’, a precast concrete structure with a hinged watertight rubber flap door, before growing the product range with an ethos of innovation based on customer feedback.
When enquiries for the business’s unique flat bottomed arched culverts started coming in from the Burdekin, John and his son Shawn decided it would be more economical for customers if Padman Water Solutions manufactured locally.
Specialising in the manufacturing of culverts for drainage and irrigation, as well as irrigation gates and erosion control structures, Padman Water Solutions offer unique one-piece arched design culverts that are much quicker and easier to install than traditional pipes and box culverts, saving farmers time in the installation process.
The arch shape results in stronger structural design to be able to hold the weight of large cane harvesters and equipment.
The culverts won’t burn like plastic pipe and are self-cleaning as debris doesn’t get stuck on the bottom of the culvert.
“I love hearing directly from farmers the impact that the Padman products are having on their farming,” said Head of Growth and Ayr Site Manager Kirsty Heather.
As a family owned and operated business with a values-driven culture, the team have a strong emphasis on growth and teamwork, allowing local people the opportunity to grow their skill set.
“We look after our teams and our people, so they can look after our farmers,” Kirsty added.
“We operate with integrity and a genuine desire to help.”
Proudly Australian made and owned, Padman Water Solutions plans to launch the civil arm of the business in the Burdekin region in the new year, bringing design-certified products to Ayr and opening doors to a broader range of applications beyond traditional agriculture.
As Padman Water Solutions continues to innovate, local farmers will continue to reap the rewards of their game changing range of products.
