The Craft Street project involved 8 adjoining lots which required fire protection. To solve this problem, two (2) tanks measuring 5.12 m in diameter by 9.20 m high were assembled onsite and situated next to a fire pumpset in its own custom built enclosure. By collaborating, the owners of the 8 lots were able to share the costs and find a collective solution that worked for them. The short lead time was met and we were able to meet the client expectations in the provided timeframe.

This project was the result of a need to facilitate communication between two pump stations. One was located at Denmark High School; the other at Riverside Club. This project included supply, installation, and commission of control equipment. The objective was to pause the operation of the Riverside Club pump station when one of the pumps at the high school was operating. A dialler system was used to sync these two locations. We delivered the solution to connect these two systems which increased the efficiencies of the solutions.

It’s been 25 years, and the Bickley Booster Pump Station is still going strong. In 1992, we took on this project. This challenge began with the need to solve a low-pressure problem in the Orange Grove area. A dual pump system operating on a variable speed control was installed. This included the base, pipework, valves, control system and pressure vessel. The pump set is still functioning correctly and addressing the original issue. This project represents the quality and endurance of our pump systems.

Formed in 1905 to obtain, treat and distribute water supplies, the Bunbury Water Board has served the people of Bunbury for over 100 years. The city’s early settlers knew of water stored naturally underground and tried to use it to replace the Collie River and the Preston River, which were the only sources of water for drinking in those days. We supplied the first variable speed system to the water authority. It’s still being used today.

The Perth City Link bus port is reconnecting Northbridge with the city centre, extending from the Perth Station to the new Perth Arena. The bus port required sufficient water storage for protection against fire. Delivering water storage in an underground situation is challenging but necessary. We had several hurdles to overcome. Our ultimate solution was to recommend our dual diesel fire protection pump set. This included suction and discharge manifolds combined with dual rectangular steel liner panel tanks. We manufactured the complete fire pumps skid at our production facility, so they could be tested at our test facility. Installing the tanks onsite was then a challenge in the tight confines of the underground plant room. The successful outcome offered a sufficient amount of water that could be dumped quickly in the case of a sudden fire.

The Christmas Island International Airport serves visitors and residents of Christmas Island, a territory of Australia in the Indian Ocean. The building required a containerised system for its fire pump set. We were able to offer expert advice and help in the installation and usage of the system for the Christmas Island Airport personnel.

The Roy Hill railway is a 344km standard gauge, single line, heavy haul railway built to transport 55Mtpa of iron ore from the Roy Hill Mine to the Port stockyard facility, in the Boodarie Industrial Estate south of Port Hedland. This operation uses a lot of diesel and was in need of a large bulk diesel facility to rapidly fuel the trains to meet production and delivery demands. This would allow them to function more efficiently. Nothing of this nature had ever been accomplished. Traditionally fuel facilities have pumps for unloading, loading and other refuelling activities located around the site and are wired back to a Motor Control Centre building. Our solution was to consolidate the pumping, compressed air equipment and Motor Control Centre onto a single super skid. The skid was pre-fabricated, assembled and tested at our facility and lifted into place on site where only a single lift was required. The project was delivered on time and as requested.

Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison is an Australian prison located in Boulder, Western Australia, and opened in 1980. An upgrade to the fire pump skid and commissioning was necessary in 2014. The primary challenge was carrying out both tasks at the same time including upgrading and commissioning. We worked hard to balance both tasks resulting in a successful delivery of the project.

Allied Pumps recently provided 2 Circular Colour Finished Steel Water Storage Tanks to a client near the edge of the water at the Kwinana Bulk Jetty. This area of Cockburn Sound is of significant economic and social importance as it facilitates trade to Western Australia and the nation. It is also subjected to very high winds (almost cyclonic during bad weather events) so special design considerations had to be incorporated into the tank design and construction. The tanks were constructed to 3mm in thickness all over (instead of the normal 3mm on the bottom strake and 1.95mm on the others). The tanks were fitted with harness points on the roof and installed with 2 SWAH doors per tank (normally one). The tanks were also powder coated in colorbond Off White finish to fit in with the surroundings.

Mundella was looking to reinvent an industrial filling system and outdated production line. The brief was to provide a food grade, fully compliant solution for the careful transfer of yoghurts and dairy products from vats, while maintaining constant and sensitive flow rates and meeting specific hygiene requirements. We engineered and manufactured an innovative solution to an outdated processing line using a mobile Wilden pumping package. Read on to find out how we achieved this.
