600L Pump Station Installed with Zero Disruption at Melbourne Shopping Centre
East Plumbing Co. installed a 600-litre Graf Sapphire pump station with complete underground infrastructure to manage condensate drainage from a Melbourne shopping centre’s cooling system. The project included concrete cutting, excavation, tank installation, discharge pipework, sewer connections, and comprehensive commissioning — all completed without disruption to retail operations.
Working in an operational shopping centre required careful planning and phasing. The team began at 5:00 AM to avoid retail disruption, conducting pre-installation slab scanning to identify embedded services before any concrete cutting commenced.
The project was systematically phased: concrete cutting → excavation → tank installation → pipework → concrete restoration → commissioning. A CCTV inspection of the existing sewer line before connection revealed and prevented an imminent sewer blockage failure — an added outcome beyond the project scope.
Key Outcomes: Complete installation to all specifications with zero disruption to shopping centre operations, 600L capacity pump station with 3L/sec flow operational, high-level alarm system active, and full Victorian plumbing code compliance achieved.
This project demonstrates East Plumbing Co’s commitment to delivering commercial and industrial plumbing solutions that protect business continuity across Melbourne. Learn more about our Commercial Plumbing.
