Allied Pumps soft starter skids are designed to support reliable pump operation by reducing mechanical and electrical stress during motor start-up.
Built for mining, these packaged systems help protect pumps, motors, pipework, valves, and site power infrastructure by controlling inrush current and providing a smoother ramp-up to operating speed.
Each soft starter skid can be configured to suit client needs, and the skid-mounted format makes transport and installation simpler.
Our client required new potable water and fire water storage tanks to be manufactured onsite. The location is particularly close to the harbour shoreline and situated in the category 5 cyclone region, which means winds can be in excess of 280 km per hr. This impacted every facet of design. We had extensive contact with suppliers to find alternative products that could withstand the aggressive environmental location. The process included a search for tank wall, nuts, and bolts all the way through to paints and roofing materials. We successfully installed all the equipment on schedule, within a 3 week period with no major disruptions or safety incidents. The tank construction was guaranteed for 25 years. The client was very satisfied with the end solution.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Soft starters help reduce electrical and mechanical stress during start-up, which can protect motors, pumps, couplings, pipework, valves, and site power infrastructure.
Yes. Allied Pumps soft starter skids are designed for harsh mining environments, with robust skid-mounted construction and mine-spec enclosure options for controls.
Yes, soft starter skids can be configured to suit motor size, pump duty, supply voltage, control requirements, instrumentation, safety features, and site conditions.
Allied Pumpsโ soft starter skids are mostly used for water transfer, standpipe systems, and pump stations.
Protection features can include overload protection, phase protection, fault alarms, dry-run protection, pressure monitoring, flow monitoring, isolators, and emergency stops.
