Fire Station Washing Facilities Project

We recently had the honour of completing a critical installation project at a fire station in Oxford, providing the crew with essential new washing and clean-up facilities. This project was driven by a crucial health and safety requirement, giving the selfless firefighters who protect our communities a dedicated area to decontaminate after their duties.

The primary goal of this installation was to help reduce the crew’s long-term exposure to contaminants, residues, and particulates encountered during their daily work. By creating dedicated clean-up zones, the fire station is ensuring a safer, healthier environment for its team. It’s a privilege to support the men and women who put themselves at risk to keep our community safe every day.

The project presented a significant plumbing challenge: there was no direct gravity-run waste option available to service the new washing area. Our team engineered a robust solution to make the installation possible:

• Macerator System: We installed a powerful, reliable macerator system to handle the waste, grinding and pumping effluent upward.

• Drainage Connection: This system was then seamlessly connected to the existing drainage network located next door, ensuring efficient and compliant waste removal.

• Instantaneous Hot Water: To guarantee the crew always has access to immediate, thorough cleaning, we fitted an instantaneous hot water under-sink unit, ensuring reliable hot water on demand, precisely when they need it most.

This project showcases our ability to deliver tailored, high-performance solutions, even when faced with significant logistical constraints. The result is a system that supports a vital public service with reliability and technical excellence.
