Products and services
- Pump Stations Structurally engineered concrete and fibreglass pump stations designed to meet individual project specifications, operational requirements, and site conditions. Includes precast concrete chambers with HDPE liners, submersible pumps, and custom configurations for sewage, stormwater, and drainage applications.
- Pressure Sewer Systems Complete pressure sewer network solutions including pump controllers, grinder pumps (OGT, OGP+), storage chambers, and reticulation components, designed for challenging terrain, high water tables, and areas where gravity sewer is not feasible.
- Storage Vessels Custom-designed fibreglass storage vessels structurally engineered to handle critical inflows. Available in various sizes with corrosion-resistant properties and up to 100+ year lifespan.
- Maintenance Holes Fibreglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) maintenance holes designed for full groundwater conditions. Features include finite element analysis engineering, lightweight construction for faster installation, and reduced construction periods.
- Odour Control Systems Comprehensive odour treatment solutions including OdoZone ozone-based dosing systems, Synergy multi-stage treatment, Bio-Trickling Filters, Biofilters, and activated carbon filters, engineered for chemical-free treatment with guaranteed performance levels.
- Water and Wastewater Reuse Systems Systems that reduce demand on potable water supplies through stormwater harvesting, treatment, and reuse. Includes raw water pump stations, packaged treatment plants, UV sterilization, and clearwater storage solutions for municipal, industrial, and private projects.
- Water Supply Systems Booster pump stations and water supply solutions that maintain consistent water pressure from mains outlets to meet water authority or council specifications, including backup generator connections and telemetry.
- Solids Handling Systems Muffin Monster grinders and solids handling systems including the 10K and 30K models with Wipes Ready cutters, designed to handle wipes, rags, and sanitary products that cause pump blockages in sewer systems.
- OdoZone Mobile Diagnostic Unit Containerised ozone-based dosing system for trial and evaluation of odour and corrosion control in wastewater networks. Generates up to ten times the ozone required for a typical pump station and achieves 99% H2S removal without chemical handling requirements.
- OmniSmart 1000 Control Panels Australian-built smart control panels for pressure sewer systems with remote monitoring, SCADA integration, real-time alarm notifications, and telemetry for 24/7 network management.
- SurePoint Technology Advanced pressure sewer network management technology enabling water authority staff to set control functions across individual properties within the network with real-time monitoring of reticulation conditions and flows.
- Design, Engineering, Construction, and Life-Cycle Management Services End-to-end services including in-house design engineering (preliminary hydraulic design, concept layouts, finite element analysis, detailed design submissions), project management, civil installation, mechanical and electrical fit-out, commissioning, and after-sales support including refresher training, technical support, ongoing maintenance, and SCADA monitoring.

Aquatec competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Sulzer: Global pump and rotating equipment manufacturer whose JWC Equipment division supplies the Muffin Monster grinders that Aquatec integrates into its pump stations. Sulzer competes head-to-head with Aquatec on submersible pumps, grinder systems, and wastewater pumping solutions for municipal customers.
- Hidrostal: Swiss pump manufacturer specializing in submersible and dry-installed pumps for sewage, stormwater, and industrial applications. Hidrostal directly competes with Aquatec on sewage and stormwater pump stations for municipal and industrial customers, particularly in challenging solids-handling environments.
- KSB Group: German pumps, valves, and related service company with a strong municipal water and wastewater portfolio. KSB directly competes with Aquatec on sewage and stormwater pump stations and pressure-boosting systems for utilities and industrial customers.
Regional players
- Interflow: Australian infrastructure services company specializing in water, wastewater, and stormwater pipeline rehabilitation and construction. Interflow is a regional competitor to Aquatec on trenchless and traditional water/sewer infrastructure projects across Australia.
- Downer EDI: ASX-listed Australian infrastructure services company with a significant water services business (Downer Water Services). Downer competes with Aquatec on water and wastewater treatment, pump stations, and maintenance services for utilities and councils across Australia and NZ.
Broad incumbents
- Grundfos: Global pump manufacturer with deep presence in water supply, wastewater, and pressure sewer applications. Grundfos competes with Aquatec's pump stations and pressure sewer offerings as a broader, modular-focused incumbent with global R&D and distribution.
- Xylem: Global water technology major offering pumps (Flygt, Wedeco), treatment, and digital water solutions (Vue platform). Xylem competes broadly with Aquatec across pump stations, pressure sewer, and digital monitoring, but at much larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
- Veolia Water Technologies: Global environmental services and water treatment major providing packaged treatment plants, odour control, and digital water solutions. Veolia overlaps with Aquatec on water reuse, odour control, and wastewater treatment infrastructure for municipal and industrial clients.
Emerging players
- Itron: Global provider of smart water metering and AMI/network solutions for utilities. Itron competes in the digital water/SCADA layer where Aquatec's OmniSmart operates, though Itron's focus is broader metering rather than pump-station control specifically.
- Badger Meter: US-based manufacturer of flow measurement, water metering, and smart water monitoring solutions. Badger Meter's smart water/monitoring product portfolio overlaps with Aquatec's OmniSmart SCADA platform for utility-grade remote monitoring and metering.
