The National Anzac Centre is one of Australia’s most important cultural pilgrimages. Located within Albany’s heritage listed Princess Royal Fortress, the centre overlooks the actual harbour from which over 41,000 men and woman departed Australia for the Great War. The project required a complete sewage system in a short amount of time. The system needed to handle minimal sewage flow but be prepared for high peak loadings. This is often hard to deliver, but our systems delivered a solution to ensure optimal operation.

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.

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.

Located on the Burswood Peninsula, the Optus Stadium is part of a large redevelopment that has become a draw card to thousands of people. However, as with all new developments there was a significant change to the existing landscape. Part of the Optus Stadium is bounded by the Swan River and river traffic, some of the retaining walls and steel piles on the water’s edge which could be seen from the water and needed to be addressed which could not be achieved using a land based planting scheme or additional construction. Allied Pumps created an environmentally sound and sustainable floating treatment wetland that can be configured in rafts of endless configurations. They can fit any existing space or water body shape and can operate in fluctuating water levels which was an essential requirement for this project. While the floating treatment wetlands are primarily a water treatment tool, they have the added bonus of being visually appealing with the use of wetland sedges, rushes and grasses providing fast and easy to install beautification options.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
