PROJECT COMMISSIONING! We recently commissioned the Habitat Sewer Pump Station, which serves 800+ lots at Mount Kynoch, a master-planned community surrounded by the natural beauty of the Toowoomba region. Working with our client, RMA Engineering, we designed, constructed, and commissioned the following components: » 3.2m diameter x 6.0m deep precast concrete pump station including civil works » Complete TRC approved Switchboard with metering, distribution, and telemetry » 1 x 2.5m diameter x 8.0m long heavy duty, filament wound fiberglass horizontal storage vessel » 1 x Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid (MHL) dosing station Our solution, which is part of a well-integrated wastewater infrastructure being built at Mount Kynoch, supports the area’s long-term growth. #WasteWater #PumpStation #WaterInfrastructure #Planning

Today we had the privilege of a visit from some of the team at Global Victoria to our Melbourne office in Southbank. We had a great discussion with Lamia Damerje MDY and Madelaine Sexton.

We welcomed representatives from the Industry Capability Network (ICN) to our Shepparton headquarters last week. Nick Foa, Chief Executive Officer, and Christian Saunders, Industry Adviser, ICN Victoria, took a tour of our facilities with Aquatec Business Development Executive, Rohan Sali

PROJECT UPDATE: Shepherds Lane, Sunbury, Victoria | Maintenance holes, storage vessels and pump stations Expanding and upgrading wastewater infrastructure is a multifaceted investment supporting growing communities' health, environment, and economy. With the Sunbury region forecast to increase from 17,000 lots to 64,000 lots in the next 50 years, Greater Western Water is investing in expanding its water and wastewater infrastructure. Watch a snippet of AQUATEC’s precast pumping station installation at the Shepherds Lane site. Aquatec partnered with YVE and Spiire to design and construct a sewer pump station, construction of approximately 60m of sewer reticulation, design and construction of sewer rising main on Shepherds Lane as part of Redstone Estate, Sunbury – developed by Villawood Properties. The precast pumping station comprises 2 x Submersible Sewerage Pumps plumbed inside a 3,200mmØ x 12,040mm deep 50mpa mould-formed heavy-duty reinforced concrete pumping chamber with sulphate-resistant cement internally lined in accordance with Greater Western Water specifications. The installation of AQUATEC’s maintenance holes (1850mmØ x 8400mm and 10200 mm deep, 2000mmØ x 10400mm deep) and fibreglass storage vessels measuring an impressive 3.5m Ø x 23m long was a key component of the project. Other components included the manufacturing, installation, and testing of a single-sided control panel with sections for power distribution, pump control, telemetry, and Power Authority Metering, conforming to the requirements of AS3600. #WaterInfrastructure #Wastewater #WaterEngineering #SewerPumpStation

We were honoured to participate and support the Victorian Bioenergy Network event in Bendigo last Friday. Our biogas specialist, Robie Mangubat, presented on the topic of biogas conditioning. We were inspired to hear about the many approaches to integrating biogas into the energy mix. Projects that convert human, agricultural, and animal waste into biomethane contribute to efficient waste management and provide a renewable energy source. We look forward to working with our clients, longstanding and new, to explore ways to maximise the potential of biogas from wastewater. #Biogas #RenewableEnergy #CircularEconomy #Bioenergy #Wastewater Pictured: Robie Mangubat (L) | Senior Odour Control Consultant with Elizabeth Lewis-Gray FTSE FAusIMM GAICD (R) | Bioenergy Network Chair

This year’s winners of the Australian Water Association’s (AWA) 2025 ACT Water Awards were celebrated at the ACT Water Leaders Dinner & Awards on 27 February at Old Parliament House. Aquatec, in collaboration with Icon Water and Diona, won the Infrastructure Project Innovation Award (METRO) for its groundbreaking odour control technology, which prioritises operator safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The Award is a tribute to AQUATEC's values of collaboration, innovation and excellence. The new approach is set to become the industry standard, revolutionising how activated carbon media replacement is conducted in the water sector. Traditionally, Activated Carbon Unit maintenance involves high-risk tasks such as confined space entry, manual handling, working at heights, and biohazard exposure. Recognising these dangers, Icon Water and Aquatec have introduced an innovative ACU design featuring modular, stainless-steel cassettes for the carbon media. These cassettes can be safely removed and replaced via forklift, eliminating hazardous manual handling and reducing downtime from days to hours. The new ACU design eliminates key safety hazards: ↳ Confined space entry – maintenance personnel no longer need to enter vessels, reducing exposure to hazardous atmospheres. ↳ Biohazard exposure – operators avoid direct contact with spent carbon media, which can contain harmful contaminants. ↳ Noise exposure – the removal of vacuuming processes significantly reduces high noise levels. ↳ Manual handling – forklift operations replace manual lifting, enhancing worker safety. ↳ Working at heights & suspended loads – eliminating crane operations and overhead lifting reduces the risk of falls and accidents. ↳ Slips and falls – the streamlined process prevents media spills, further minimising workplace hazards. Upon accepting the Award, Andrew Fleming, Aquatec’s Senior Technical Consultant, said: ❝We are truly honoured to receive this recognition from the Australian Water Association. This achievement reflects the dedication, collaboration, and expertise of many talented individuals from Icon Water and Aquatec over the past four years. Their combined technical knowledge and experience have set a new standard for odour control solutions, protecting community health and well-being.❞ #OdourControl #Wastewater #ActivatedCarbon
