The brief

External pump room, monitoring and trace heating.

WSD delivered the electrical, control, monitoring and trace heating scope across the pump room and the wider building suppression infrastructure for this warehouse and distribution project. The work covered an external diesel-pump pump room with full electrical services, complete pump room and water-tank monitoring, internal valve set monitoring across multiple building zones, and an external trace heating system finished in aluminium cladding.
