Welltech Total Water Management have been successfully delivering innovative water management solutions across the mining, civil, utility and construction sectors since 1995. Our endless energy and passion constantly drive us well beyond delivering the best equipment.

Our journey and vision have been inspired by the commemorable feats of C.Y. O’Connor (11 Jan 1843- 10 Mar 1902).

Irishman, Charles Yelverton O’Connor, was appointed Engineer-in-Chief of Western Australia in 1891, he was to become responsible for the construction of Fremantle Harbor and the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme project, to which he would literally commit his life.

While at the time, many questioned his judgment and management of public works, historically C.Y. O’Connor would be revered for his technical knowledge, instincts and his commitment to success that would outlive the defamation he received from nay-sayers who held little faith in his bold aspirations.

The legacy of C.Y. O’Connor’s professional and personal triumphs in Western Australia serves as a tangible reminder of the importance of hard work, belief in your goals and most poignantly the need to stand by one’s convictions during doubt and the hardest challenges.  

With Water Management being our life blood we fully understand and reflect with empathy on the challenges faced by C.Y. O'Connor. All of Welltech are proud to carry on his legacy of committing to look beyond the conventional with complete conviction. This philosophy constantly inspires us and filters down to the end result of absolute client satisfaction.

Welltech have been sourcing, developing and introducing innovative solutions for over 25 years, our endless energy and passion constantly drive us well beyond delivering the best equipment.

At Welltech we are renowned for developing composite and quite often simple project solutions that once introduced, attract client feedback such as ”Why didn’t we think of that?”

The many years of long term client relationships are testimony that our commitment is our proven recipe for success, after all Commitment = Satisfaction.

1995

After attending ConExpo in Las Vegas, David recognised the potential for Portable Water Towers in the West Australian market. Upon his return, the first prototype was built, but it failed during testing, necessitating a redesign. Eventually, five Welltech Portable Water Towers were successfully constructed. After 12 months of perseverance and overcoming many doubts, the first unit was deployed for the Narrows Bridge Duplication Project. Thus, the journey began…

During very tough economic times, Ben and David put everything on the line, fully committing to pursue the Welltech dream.

Ultimately this was the beginning of the end for Max.
