Ablution Waste Tanks
Introduction
Delivering infrastructure to remote Western Australian mine sites comes with unique challenges. ATCO Structures teamed up with Coerco to provide customized ablution waste tank solutions for Iron Bridge Magnetite and Western Turner Syncline Phase 2 (WTS2) projects—overcoming environmental setbacks and design complications with smart engineering and rapid response.
The Challenge
ATCO’s ablution blocks featured a central beam that obstructed plumbing access to Coerco’s standard tank inlets, making direct installation impractical.
Unexpected flooding at the Iron Bridge project washed away ATCO’s installed ablution blocks, threatening significant delays and risking damage to Coerco’s holding tanks.
Harsh environmental conditions at WTS2 caused an uncommon leak in one of the waste tanks, potentially disrupting project momentum.
The Solution
To solve the inlet obstruction, Coerco created a custom riser frame to elevate the entry point of the tanks. This adaptation was designed and built in-house and fitted at the factory before delivery to site, eliminating installation issues.
When flooding impacted Iron Bridge, Coerco swiftly retrieved the waste tanks for pressure and damage testing. Quick diagnostics and repairs ensured the tanks were back onsite with minimal disruption.
Following the leak at WTS2, Coerco’s team acted quickly to diagnose and repair the tank. Their immediate response kept downtime to a minimum and ensured the project stayed on track.
