Overview
The Gold Coast, Queensland, is known for its high water table and seasonal heavy rainfall, which present significant challenges for construction, particularly for high-rise buildings.
A sheet piling company working on a luxury residential tower in the city centre encountered difficulties with dewatering the site. The elevated water table and frequent rain not only threatened to delay the project but also raised concerns about the safety and stability of the construction site.
Tsurumi's Approach
Tsurumi Australia worked closely with our customer to select the most suitable submersible pump for the project. After evaluating key factors such as the required flow rate, power output, pump dimensions, and pipe sizing, the KTZ47.5 was chosen as the ideal solution. It was determined that this model would perform optimally, operating at its best efficiency point while meeting the specific demands of the application.

Results & Benefits
The selected model, Tsurumi’s submersible pump KTZ47.5, ensured the quick and efficient removal of excess water. Its long-lasting durability minimized the need for frequent repairs or replacements, making it a cost-effective choice for any construction company.
The pump’s reliability in demanding conditions was crucial in allowing the construction team to maintain steady progress without interruptions or delays. By helping to meet deadlines and adhere to safety standards, it also played a key role in reducing risk of financial losses from potential project setbacks.
Conclusion
Tsurumi pumps played a crucial role in maintaining smooth construction operations and ensuring a stable foundation for Australia’s expanding skyline.
