Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment Brisbane branch set out to design and deliver an effective Water Truck Filling Station capable of reducing downtime onsite via a more robust and reliable pumping and storage tank arrangement.
This new system has considerably improved BORAL’s turnaround time for filling trucks onsite. The existing Water Truck Filling Station took approximately 15 mins to fill each of the smaller trucks. The Dowdens system now fills the largest truck in Boral’s fleet (with a 36,000 L capacity) in under 2 minutes, pumping water at 220 L/second.
The driver operates the Water Truck Filling Station remotely from within the truck cabin. Dowdens Brisbane fabricated all of the steel in-house, poly welded all pipework onsite and commissioned the system. The existing infrastructure was utilised in the new system to keep project costs down as per the client’s request.
