The scope and scale of this project required product adaptations to cater for the needs of residential properties and commercial businesses, with pumps and chambers sensitive to power availability and ongoing consumption, as well as operation in wet or dry conditions. This involved:

• simplex units with SGPC single-phase pumps to service the everyday needs of residential properties
• duplex units with OGP+ twin-stage centrifugal pumps to handle the daily demands of commercial properties
• triplex units manufactured on request for large-scale commercial use and public areas

All units were connected to a common line within the reticulation network for reduced operational costs.

Aquatec provided accredited training to South East Water’s preferred installation providers, ensuring every pressure unit was installed correctly and to specification. In addition, customised product manuals provided an ongoing reference for the unique design features deployed across the network.

Community consultation sessions were conducted by South East Water to inform residents of the conversion from septic tanks to residential pressure sewer systems.

As a project partner, we attended to assist with question and answer sessions. We also supplied literature to help educate residents on the benefits of sealed residential pressure sewer systems for local waterways and the surrounding environment.

As the Pressure Sewer network rolled out across Rye Coastal and Belgrave Heights areas, we commissioned regular audits across residential and commercial sites to ensure installations adhered to Aquatec’s high quality standards.

A purpose-built service trailer with a generator back-up, a pressure washer, spare parts and a WHS-approved lifting trolley provides maintenance personnel with easy access to required tools for the ongoing maintenance of pressure sewer units across the network.
