Our history
Mitchell began in 1979 when Lyell and Wayne Mitchell founded L.G Mitchell & Sons, with Wayne at the helm since 1985. Many of our people have been with Mitchell for decades. Projects are delivered by an experienced and dedicated team who understand each detail.
How we work
Mitchell projects are planned and built by engineers working on site alongside the crews, not from an office. Field personnel and engineers work as one, everyone is empowered to make safe decisions, and our goal on every project is Zero Harm.

Equipment
Mitchell owns and operates one of Australia’s largest fleets of specialised pipeline plant, including the WeldBarge, BulletPlow, KwikPipe trencher and ShakerBox, all designed and patented by Mitchell. Our fleet is maintained in-house, so it’s ready to work when a project starts.
Community
Mitchell hires from the communities we work in, sources locally and gets involved, from supporting local schools to sponsoring regional sporting events. Towns and regions grow alongside each Mitchell project, and so do our people.
