AGNEW Gas pipeline upgrade

Overview

Protecting critical gas infrastructure.

The Agnew Gas Pipeline is a 25km transmission line transporting gas from Leinster to the Agnew mine site in remote Western Australia.

In 2019, APA initiated a large-scale upgrade and required high volumes of compliant, durable signage to ensure safe operations and clear hazard communication. With over a decade of partnership with APA, Identimark was trusted to deliver bulk signage supplies, on time, to spec, and without complication.

Challenge

What needed to be solved.

Gas transmission infrastructure like the Agnew pipeline requires precise, consistent safety communication across long distances and varied terrain.

For APA, this meant finding a supplier capable of meeting both quality standards and logistical demands. The project involved a high volume of signs, fast turnaround times, and zero tolerance for non-compliance, especially in a safety-critical asset like a gas pipeline.

Key challenges included:

Remote delivery: Materials had to be delivered to South Hedland and surrounding areas with minimal delay.

High compliance load: Signage needed to meet strict safety and visibility standards for hazardous environments.

Bulk supply coordination: 4800 signs required batching, QA checks, and consistent quality over large volumes.

Drawing on over 10 years of experience working with APA, Identimark supplied bulk orders of high-compliance signage to support the pipeline upgrade. We coordinated delivery of all materials from our Australian warehouses to remote Western Australian sites, ensuring nothing held up the critical upgrade timeline. Our non-reflective signage helped prevent glare-related hazards near live assets, while marker posts and danger signs maintained long-term legibility and compliance.

Thanks to Identimark’s supply reliability and proven field expertise, APA’s pipeline upgrade proceeded without delay. Our ongoing relationship with APA reflects the confidence placed in us to protect critical infrastructure where it matters most.

Key solutions included:

Danger High Voltage Gas Signs

Clear, compliant hazard signage for pipeline safety.

Non-Reflective Identification Labels

Optimised for readability in bright and high-glare environments.

Marker Posts
