Bluechip Industrial Services on the Water Corporation Critical Services Panel

As one of only a handful of contractors on the Water Corporation Critical Services Panel, Bluechip Industrial Services plays a key role in supporting infrastructure that services more than 2 million people across Perth and regional Western Australia.

The Water Corporation is the principal supplier of water, wastewater and drainage services across the state, and its Critical Supplier Panel is reserved for organisations trusted to deliver work where reliability, safety and compliance are non-negotiable.

Panel membership reflects the environments Bluechip operates in and the standards consistently delivered across projects. It represents long-term performance in situations where execution needs to be precise, safe, and dependable every time and where failure can impact essential services and the communities that rely on them.

Managing Director Brian Mangan said:

“It really comes back to how the business operates day to day. Being part of that panel reflects the standard that’s expected and maintained across every project - doing things safely, consistently, and properly, especially when the stakes are high.”

In practical terms, it places Bluechip alongside a small group of contractors trusted to support one of Western Australia’s most critical infrastructure networks, spanning water, wastewater and drainage services.

This technical capability is delivered through Water Corporations Critical Services Panel - Metal Fabrication and Welding Works, where we maintain and construct new critical water infrastructure assets.

At its core, this work is built on a few non-negotiables:

  • Safety - working within strict compliance frameworks in high-risk environments
  • Quality - ensuring every project meets and exceeds standard
  • Reliability - delivering consistent outcomes across maintenance, shutdowns, and new projects

More broadly, it reinforces Bluechip’s role in essential services and industrial delivery across the state, where long-term relationships are built on reliability and performance on the ground.
