Summer Is Here And It's Time To Prepare!

 

As we all know, Melbourne has just come through one of it's wettest Winters on record and the fact that temperatures are still not soaring is no reason to doubt the bushfire menace that is just around the corner. The rain has ensured that the level of fuel around the State is already very high and a few hot, windy days will see it dry out very quickly. Now is the time to be making preperations around your property and your home, clearing fire breaks and checking fire pumps, hoses and nozzles to be sure that should they be needed, they won't let you down. Summer is also storm season. Last February, Victoria, including metropolitan Melbourne, experienced some of the worst flooding since records began, so now it's time to prepare.

Sometimes it’s nicer to see what other people who have dealt with us have had to say about our service and results than for us to try to convince you ourselves. With that in mind here are a few thoughts from some Aquatrad customers.

Victoria State Emergency Service (Chelsea Unit)

The Chelsea Unit of the Victoria State Emergency Service has been dealing with Aquatrad Services in Dandenong since 2004 when they purchased their first 4" water pump to assist with their flood response capabilities. Since then, the Chelsea Unit has purchased a further 3 X 4" and 1 X 3" pumps which are housed in the units new flood trailer. In addition, all of the required Camlock fittings as well as discharge hoses and suction lines were purchased through Aquatrad. Recently the Chelsea area was hit by major flooding including inundation of houses as well as large scale flooding of local infrastructure and sporting facilities. All of the equipment supplied by Aquatrad was fully utilized over a number of weeks in various locations and conditions around the area and their operating reliability was faultless. During this recent flood emergency, the water condition ranged from simple storm water overflow to raw sewage and all were handled effectively. The 4” Pumps are Hi Flow engine driven transfer pumps from Tsurumi Pumps that feature Honda 8hp GX-240 petrol driven engines and the 3” is a Davey Hi Flow engine driven transfer pump run by a Honda 6.5hp GX-200 petrol driven engine. With all 5 pumps operating together, Chelsea SES is able to move almost half a million litres of water every hour. The service and professionalism shown by Aquatrad as well as their more than competitive pricing, has meant that Chelsea would have no hesitation in recommending them to any other SES unit that may be in need of this type of equipment.
