Background
Sydney Airport Corporation needed a pump station and storage system that could take the weight of an Airbus A380 parked above it, with installation time and construction traffic on the airfield kept to a minimum.
The solution
A Mullaly FRP combo packaged pump station combined the wet well, macerator and valve pit in one unit, which reduced delivery and installation risk. The whole system arrived on three semi-trailers. Once excavation was complete the units were lifted into place, ballasted and backfilled.
The durable, low-maintenance FRP units reduce the cost and risk of waste management for the airport.
Products and scope
Products: FRP combo packaged pump station (wet well, macerator and valve pit in one unit) and two 85,000L FRP overflow storage tanks.
Our scope: design for an A380 parked overhead, manufacture, and delivery on three semi-trailers.
