Exmouth Eco-Friendly Underground Septic Tanks for Efficient Wastewater Management

Introduction

Delivering Large-Scale Septic Solutions for WA’s Solar Eclipse Event

Ahead of the total solar eclipse event in Exmouth, the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions (DBCA) partnered with Coerco to supply and install high-capacity, compliant septic tanks at Giralia Station and Nyinggulu Coastal Reserve to support increased camping activity.

The Challenge

Urgent Need for Durable Septic Infrastructure for Remote Event Sites

To accommodate a surge in visitor numbers during the eclipse, DBCA needed lightweight, large-capacity septic tanks that could be quickly delivered, installed, and perform reliably in remote, environmentally sensitive areas.

Event-Driven Infrastructure Demand

The temporary influx of campers at Giralia Station and Nyinggulu Coastal Reserve created an urgent requirement for large-scale septic capacity to prevent environmental and public health issues.

Strict Functional and Compliance Requirements

Tanks had to meet specific features such as dump point compatibility, ease of pumping, weather resistance, and AS/NZS1546 certification—within a tight delivery window.

Remote Access and Delivery Challenges

Reaching and installing the tanks at remote coastal sites involved navigating unsealed roads and required precise coordination across multiple delivery dates.

The Solution

Custom-Engineered Septic Systems Delivered On Time to Remote WA Campsites

High-Capacity, Certified Septic Tanks

Coerco delivered tanks ranging from 27,000 to 31,000 litres, all certified to AS/NZS1546 standards and backed by a 15-year warranty.

Enhanced Functional Design

Each tank included flapper-style dump point connections, carbon vent filters, and multiple inspection manholes for improved hygiene, function, and ease of use.

Reliable Delivery and Installation Execution

Coerco navigated remote access routes and coordinated phased deliveries in March and April, ensuring tanks were in place ahead of the event with no disruption to DBCA’s schedule.
