The Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia required a water supply system. Because of its location, this was a very unique project. The spec required the materials to be stainless steel and fibreglass to resist corrosion. The site also needed a controller to monitor and operate water supply valves to fill tanks for use at the building. The three water supplies were the result of rainwater runoff from the roof, bore pumps and mains piping. To ensure that the specs were met, the valves were programmed to operate depending on the supply availability. The competing requirements of this project as well as working in a foreign environment created a number of challenges. We were able to rise to the challenge, through our strong organisational skills and execution of work.

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.

Allied Pumps rises to the challenge. Could we produce 20 relocatable bore head works, which could last for a minimum of 20 years and be compliant with wind loading requirements AS1170.2, for a wind region A4 quickly? Being headquarted in Western Australia, with extensive stock holdings, not only do we understand harsh conditions we were able to gear up quickly and meet the clients deadline.

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.

Royal Perth Hospital is a 450-bed teaching hospital located on the north-eastern edge of the CBD of Perth in Western Australia. The project started with a site visit by us. We measured and discussed the design needs for the fire pump set refurbishment. The first step was to disable and remove the existing system. This removal was the same day as the new system’s delivery so there was no site storage required. The new system was then installed in one day. This was a quick turnaround time, and we were able to meet the timeframe to ensure minimal downtime.

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.

Canal Rocks Beachfront Resort sits waterfront at Smiths Beach in Yallingup. It offers beautiful accommodation for families, friends and couples visiting Yallingup and its surroundings. The facility required a fire pro pump set. We used the first AS2941-2013, which we designed, manufactured and installed the system, ensuring it met all standards and regulations. The project had its challenges since it was a first, however its successful completion enabled us to learn valuable information which will help in future installations. The project highlighted our ability to quickly learn on the job whilst successfully completing the project brief.

Located on Connelly Street at the Greater Sports Ground is the new built recreation & leisure centre incorporating the Kellerberrin & Districts Club. This was the site of the first concrete pump station in Western Australia. When wastewater has to get to the treatment facility and gravity is not cooperating, precast concrete pump stations do the heavy lifting. Precast concrete pump stations are designed, fabricated and installed with the highest-quality materials and equipment. We installed this system in the early 1990s. Completing a project like shows how we adopt innovation in out techniques.

A below water table mine operation in the Shire of East Pilbara sustains the Newman Hub mining operations at a Western Australian iron ore mine site. The client needed an in-pit dewatering solution to discharge excess groundwater for a new section of the pit. The solution was required within eight weeks. A bore system using equipment that would suit their requirements was designed. We provided Kwikbore bore head works systems which were trailer-mounted. This would minimise dewatering and pumping downtime during removal of the existing equipment from the mining pit during blasting and installed the head works once the blasting was completed. Overall, six mobile head works systems were used, each featuring a unique plug and play design with remote telemetry system for integration with the site SCADA system. Our experienced technicians carried out onsite commissioning to effectively integrate the pumping systems into the BHP site-wide SCADA system. The project was delivered on time and on budget and operates to the specification set out in the scope of works.

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.
