Station street markets were historic markets located in Subiaco that closed in 2015 after 30 years. In 2017, the site became part of a $96M redevelopment plan. We are currently working on this project constructing custom 4.70 diameter by 9.20 high fire water tanks (holding 150 kL each). These are custom specifications to meet the site’s needs. Creating custom length panels highlights our ingenuity and abilities to accommodate clients.

Allied Pumps creates insulated circular steel panel liner tank for the Karratha Health Campus to meet clients cold water requirements. We were able to meet the client’s stringent requirements to produce a cost effective, potable water tank that could withstand the extreme weather conditions. Rising to the challenge, this project was Allied Pumps first insulated circular steel panel liner tank complete with a cold water circulating program.

Allied Pumps has a long history with Busselton, and in particular the famous Busselton Jetty. In 2000 we supplied a sewage pump station – designed to hang underneath the jetty under the centre. 18 years later the system is still in good condition and is testament to the high quality product working as hard today as it was when it was installed. In addition to this sewage pump station, we also supplied a concrete pump station and sewage pump station at the Underwater Observatory. More recently we supplied pump stations for the on-shore discovery centre.

A residential complex in Perth required an innovative way to pump water to reduce power consumption and improve sustainability. In many new buildings, there is a push to use a single basement tank with basement pumps pressuring all the way to the top of the apartment block. However, Allied Pumps had a better solution. A small pump and tank at the basement of the apartment block transfers water to the rooftop tanks at a low flow, keeping the rooftop tank full. A smaller, variable speed pump supplies the top few floors, whilst the levels below are fed by gravity. With a roof top tank full of water at all times, even during a power outage, the system can still supply the residents with water. Smaller pumps, simpler control logic, and reduced tank capacities all kept initial costs low and provided huge benefits for the complex.

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.

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.

The City of Subiaco had an initiative to improve water quality. The focus was on reducing pollutants in Lake Mabel Talbot. The lake is in the conservation category wetland under the Environment Protection policy and functions as a Water Corporation compensating basin. The lake collects rainfall runoff from four sub-catchments, totaling 300 ha. A Gross Pollutant Trap needed to treat the entire flow prior to entering the system, and our Baffle Box was the only system to appropriately meet the design criteria. The Baffle Box was able to catch leaves and other pollutants before they could enter the lake. The result of this project was cleaner water and an improvement in the water quality.

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.

Blockages occur fairly regularly at Graylands Hospital, Western Australia’s largest mental health facility. Objects and clothing were often being introduced into the plumbing system. With 1,053 fixtures, the system needed help breaking up these foreign objects. Two of their grinder pumps were not properly handling foreign objects. After much investigation, the most practical option was to install a channel grinder in the existing mechanical screening pit. We designed specialised guiderails from 316 stainless steel. They were built in-house to suit the existing concrete structure. This solved the issue and eliminated peak flow blockages. The system has now been up and running for 24 months with no issues.

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.
