Collection wells
Custom-made 4,000L – 82,000L
Manufactured using premium materials, our collection wells provide Victorian developers with reliable storage that satisfies Melbourne Water’s rigorous environmental protection standards. Unlike septic tanks, Collection wells do not treat sewage; they merely store it. Once full, the collection well or holding tank is emptied and treated at another location.
Leading corrosion resistance
Zero rust or deterioration in harsh environments, outlasting competitors by decades with virtually no maintenance.
Complete leak protection
Seamless one-piece construction guarantees no groundwater infiltration or contamination leakage risk, ensuring total environmental protection for Victoria’s local ecosystems.
Mighty yet minimal
Lighter and stronger than concrete, fibreglass collection wells dramatically decrease installation costs and project completion times.
15-year industry warranty
Our industry warranty extends 15 years beyond installation, giving you unmatched confidence in your investment.
Pump chambers
Custom-made 6,800L – 82,000L
Our pump chambers integrate seamlessly with both existing infrastructure and new developments, providing Victorian builders with versatile solutions for a wide range of project sites. The purpose of a pump chamber is to distribute effluent wastewater and sewage to the main sewage system. If there is no sewage system, the waste will be pumped to a sewage treatment facility, such as a septic tank system. The pump chamber can also be used for stormwater.
Reliable wastewater management
Robust fibreglass construction prevents leaks and structural issues, ensuring dependable operation.
Versatile applications
These versatile chambers deliver dependable performance whether managing wastewater from high-density developments or handling stormwater in Melbourne’s commercial precincts.
Strength without the weight
Our pump chambers weigh less than concrete yet boast exceptional strength and durability. Due to their lighter weight, they are comparatively easy to handle and install.
15-year industry warranty
We stand by our tanks with a 15-year industry warranty, which gives you confidence that your investment will last long after installation.

Septic tanks frequently asked questions
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
A general guideline is every 3 to 5 years, but some systems may require more frequent pumping.
What should I NOT put down the drain?
Certain items can damage the septic system and should be avoided.
These include:
- Greases, oils, and fats: These can solidify and clog pipes and tanks.
- Household chemicals: Such as bleach, paint thinners, and pesticides can kill the beneficial bacteria in the system.
- Solids: Non-degradable items like diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products can block the system.
What if my septic system smells?
If you smell a strong, foul odour, it could indicate a problem with the system, such as a blockage or a buildup of harmful gases. Contact a septic system professional immediately.
Are septic tanks environmentally friendly?
Yes, septic systems use natural bacteria to break down household waste.
How do I care for my septic system?
Proper care includes:
- Avoiding flushing prohibited items: This protects the beneficial bacteria and prevents blockages.
- Regularly pumping the septic tank: This removes sludge and keeps the system functioning properly.
- Proper venting: Ensures proper gas release and prevents odours.
- Regularly inspecting and maintaining the system: This can help identify and address potential problems early on.

Well done in bringing this product to the market
Hi Rob. Just wanted to pass on how pleased I am with your tanks. You have bridged the gap with a product that addresses the problems with the light weight poly products and the heavy concrete tanks. You have a brilliant design that will not split or distort as the poly tanks do or delaminate in a corrosive or acidic environment that will destroy any concrete tank. They do not need any heavy lifting equipment to install or transport and have a riser system that can be adjusted to suit the ground level perfectly without the need to position the tank to suit this. A truly brilliant product that will give years of service. Well done in bringing this product to the market. Kind regards, Wayne

Phil Wilkinson Plumbing and Gas Fitters have been installing the septic tanks and tank riser and lids for around 10yrs
Phil Wilkinson Plumbing and Gas Fitters have been installing the septic tanks and tank riser and lids for around 10yrs. These products whether it’s 3,000 or 30,000 ltr tank you need or just the riser they can do it. The risers are fantastic, lightweight yet very strong, sturdy and well made, these can be installed at any depth. The unit is a once buy, you’ll never have to dig it up again and unlike the concrete alternative, is level with the ground and does not need 2 men to safely lift the lid. It’s a no- brainer get it done today!

The saddle and riser worked out perfectly
The saddle and riser worked out perfectly. Easy to put in place – a brilliant design in it’s simplicity. I’m very happy that I came across you online. The pump out boys (Alexandrina council) we’re seriously impressed too – I’m guessing they’re hoping a lot more people put them in place too (save their backs)!
