Across Australia and New Zealand, councils are facing the challenge of maintaining wastewater networks that are not only efficient but safe, compliant and sustainable.
As the infrastructure landscape evolves, so too must the tools and partnerships that support it. For more than 55 years, the Sewer Equipment Company (Aust.) – or SECA – has been helping local authorities and contractors achieve this balance, providing smarter equipment, safer networks and stronger partnerships built on trust, technology and operational product training as well as nationally recognised courses through the SECA Academy provided by Asset Training (RTO No.91255).
Partners, not just products
Founded in 1967, SECA has grown from a small Sydney operation into a leading supplier of equipment for the cleaning, testing, inspection and rehabilitation of pipes, sewers and drains. SECA’s difference lies in its approach. Rather than simply supplying products, SECA partners with councils to help them plan, operate and sustain assets for long-term value. With offices and service centres in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, SECA delivers local expertise supported by international technology partnerships.
From procurement through to operation, the company focuses on practical outcomes. Its service technicians, spare parts network and training programs ensure every customer receives responsive, Australian-based support designed to keep essential assets running safely and efficiently.
Smarter tools that simplify the work
SECA’s partnerships with trusted European manufacturers bring the latest innovations to Australian operators.
A standout example is the Rioned Multijet, a compact but powerful drain and sewer cleaning unit that has become a favourite among councils. The Multijet features a robust Kubota diesel engine, a 180-degree pivoting hose reel and intuitive remote-control operation, making it both efficient and safe to use.
These features help field crews work more quickly while reducing physical strain and jobsite risks. For asset managers, the result is less downtime, fewer callouts and more consistent performance across maintenance teams. Through technology that simplifies daily operations, SECA supports councils in delivering reliable public services to their communities.
Safety and compliance at the core
Safety is integral to SECA’s equipment design and operating philosophy. Each product is engineered for stability, visibility and operator protection, helping councils and contractors meet Work Health and Safety and ISO compliance targets. SECA also backs every system with training, maintenance and documentation that simplify procurement and reporting obligations. By embedding safety into both design and service, SECA ensures that compliance is an outcome of good practice, not an administrative burden.
From CCTV inspection systems and pipe testing units, to drain cleaning and rehabilitation tools, SECA provides a complete suite of solutions that allow councils to modernise and manage networks across the entire asset lifecycle. This integration supports smarter planning, more accurate data collection and significant lifecycle cost savings. Instead of short-term repairs, SECA’s approach promotes proactive asset management grounded in quality equipment and reliable support.
Across Australia and New Zealand, SECA’s customers are shifting from reactive maintenance to data-driven management. By combining rugged, field-tested technology with advanced digital reporting tools, SECA helps operators predict and prevent network failures before they occur. The company shares case studies that demonstrate measurable improvements in uptime, labour efficiency and compliance outcomes, showing that credibility is built through results, not rhetoric.
Local support
Behind SECA’s equipment is a national support network that councils can depend on. Australian technicians, comprehensive spare parts supply and ongoing training ensure that every purchase is backed by lasting service. When maintenance teams work safely and efficiently, networks run better and communities benefit.
As Australia’s infrastructure continues to age and adapt to new environmental challenges, SECA remains committed to its founding vision: to deliver smarter equipment, safer networks and stronger partnerships that keep essential services operating for generations to come.
