TPE delivered end-to-end plumbing and hospitality services for the Australian Open 2026 across Melbourne Park. Our teams installed misters, toilets and water stations in and around the precinct, covering 17 distinct areas, and completed connections for 26 food vendors — ensuring venue comfort, sanitation and uninterrupted service throughout the tournament. On-court and around Melbourne Park our fleet of meetpat units provided chilled, filtered water to players, officials and patrons, strategically deployed to keep everyone refreshed and performing at their best.
For Tennis Australia we installed misters, toilets and water stations across 17 areas and completed connections for 26 food vendors, supporting player and patron comfort throughout the precinct.
Working closely with Levy, we commissioned and supported multiple high-profile kitchens and hospitality spaces including the Rolex kitchen, RLA Workforce Hub, Broadcast Kitchen and Media Café; we also completed the Ralph Lauren internal bar fit-out, Supaa and Ball Kids catering areas, plus connections for Riverside Social and Courtside Bar.
In partnership with The Big Group we completed kitchen installations and full-service connections for Chubb, Marriott, Ralph Lauren, Emirates, ANZ, Riverside Social, Kia, Mastercard and Tennis HQ.
Throughout the site our meetpat units were a standout — on court, in player entrances and player gyms, and around Melbourne Park they provided hygienic, chilled and filtered hydration points that ensured players and teams were never without water. Our meetpat installations also tracked water usage, delivering essential data for consumption monitoring and operational planning.
Our teams completed full kitchen connections covering fresh water, waste systems and LPG supply, commissioning and maintaining these critical services so caterers and kitchens could operate without interruption. We remained on standby throughout the entire event to ensure any issues were rectified in a timely manner.
Our delivery upheld strict safety and quality standards, with on-site teams conducting continuous monitoring, testing and maintenance to ensure compliance and peak performance throughout the tournament. We prioritised efficiency and sustainability— optimising water use across meetpat units and kitchen systems, managing waste responsibly, and minimising downtime with rapid-response support.
Thank you to our partners Tennis Australia, Levy and The Big Group for the close collaboration that made Australian Open 2026 a smooth, successful event.
