Services
Engineered for Critical Systems
Water and wastewater systems demand more than off-the-shelf components. Pipestone Equipment provides engineered solutions that balance performance, reliability, and cost. From valves and gates to surge protection, vault systems, and custom packages, our services are designed to reduce risk, simplify installation, and ensure long-term system success.
Valves & Gates
We stock rugged and reliable water and wastewater valves; from air release to buried service butterfly and in between. We can offer slide/sluice gates or specialty fabricated valves.
Flow Control
Whether diaphragm operated hydraulic control or valves with pneumatic or electric actuators, we determine which features make economic sense for you, and test at our shop. Don’t worry, it’s under control.
Surge Protection
Keep your investment and your community safe! We can perform transient analysis and provide equipment to minimize potential damage in case of water hammer.
Education & Support
Empowering and sharing our expertise is important to us. Come visit our classroom, spend time in our flow lab, or request a technical presentation at your location.
Vault Systems
Save time and hassle by getting a pre-assembled vault delivered to the job-site. At our Annex facility, we build systems specific to your project requirements.
Custom Solutions
As engineers, we love a good puzzle. Ask us how we can help solve today's challenge for you!

Services & Capabilities
What types of valves and gates does Pipestone Equipment provide?
We supply a wide range of rugged, reliable water and wastewater valves and gates, including air release valves, buried service butterfly valves, slide and sluice gates, and specialty fabricated valves. Each selection is based on system requirements, operating conditions, and long-term performance goals.
How does Pipestone Equipment approach flow control?
Flow control is about more than selecting a valve. We evaluate whether diaphragm-operated hydraulic control, pneumatic actuation, or electric actuation makes the most economic and operational sense for the application. When needed, equipment is tested in our shop to confirm performance before it reaches the field.
What is surge protection and why is it important?
Surge protection helps prevent damage caused by transient events such as water hammer. Pipestone Equipment performs transient analysis and provides surge control equipment designed to protect pipelines, pumping systems, and communities from sudden pressure changes and system failures.
What education and support services are available?
Education is a core part of our mission. We offer classroom training, access to our flow lab, and on-site technical presentations. By sharing knowledge and experience, Pipestone Equipment helps teams make better decisions and operate systems with confidence.
What are vault systems and custom solutions?
Vault systems are pre-assembled, project-specific packages built at our Annex facility and delivered ready for installation, saving time and reducing field labor. For unique challenges, we also design custom solutions that address specific system constraints, operating conditions, or performance goals.
Brands & Manufacturers
Why does Pipestone Equipment represent specific manufacturers?
We carefully select manufacturers whose products meet our standards for quality, reliability, and performance in water infrastructure applications. The brands we represent allow Pipestone Equipment to offer proven components as well as integrated, custom-designed systems.
What types of valve manufacturers does Pipestone Equipment work with?
We represent manufacturers covering a wide range of valve technologies, including double and triple offset valves, control valves, knife gate valves, butterfly valves, axial flow valves, and specialty fabricated valves. This breadth allows us to match the right valve to the right application.
Does Pipestone Equipment provide actuation and controls?
Can Pipestone Equipment support pumping and packaged systems?
We work with manufacturers like Dakota Pump and PumpTech TES to supply packaged pump stations, booster systems, wet wells, and control systems. These solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into larger water management systems.
How does Pipestone Equipment help customers choose among different brands?
Rather than pushing a single product, we evaluate system needs, operating conditions, and long-term goals. Pipestone Equipment uses its engineering expertise and product knowledge to guide customers toward the most effective solution using the brands we represent.
