Whitsunday Gardens Estate, situated in Proserpine, QLD, is a new land release subdivision located just 25 minutes from the iconic Airlie Beach. Relag Group Pty Ltd is responsible for this new urban housing development and subsequently engaged Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment Proserpine branch to design, supply and install a Precast Concrete Pump Station for use in Stage 3 of the Whitsunday Gardens Estate subdivision development.
Stage 3 of the subdivision development required a standalone sewage pump station to be installed capable of handling the residential wastewater and sewage borne from 20 subdivided lots. The land was used to farm sugarcane before the development began in 2013.
During the initial project scoping, Relag Group Pty Ltd reviewed three options for their sewage pump station system: prefabricated fibreglass, mould formed precast concrete, and concrete pour in situ. The Dowdens source Concrete Pump Station won the selection process due to the following product benefits:
The timeframe of delivery and installation was tight due to the region’s high water table (water present only 1.5m beneath the surface). The precast concrete system enabled Dowdens to place all components 5.5m below the surface quickly, build and then backfill the trench within one day.
The Project engineering consultant utilised the dedicated Selection Software to match the correct system layout to the site specifications. The Selection software allows registered members to generate an integrated design solution to select an appropriate chamber, pumps and mechanical components for specific applications.
The Project Engineer designed the system and submitted that to the Whitsunday Regional Council for approval. The Precast Concrete Pump Station was installed, commissioned and the whole project managed by Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment’s Proserpine branch.
