A significant area of the Charles Sturt Council stormwater collection area sits behind the sand dunes and requires an automated high volume pump station to manage the risk of localised flooding. The existing stormwater pump station on Beach Street had exce required additional capacity to meet the ongoing needs of the council. T & J Constructions was contracted to install high volume pumps and pits and link them to the existing underground detention tanks located in the road. The new pump station was 7m deep by 9m by 5m and was accompanied by an equally deep Junction box on the end of the detention tank.
