[Case study - 38] Transforming Hotel Basements into Fully Functional, Convenient Spaces
The Sanicubic 2 Classic lifting station enables The Dream Suite Hotel to easily install a basement restroom without floor cutting, ensuring stable operation and cost savings.
Basements are often considered challenging areas to renovate, especially when adding essential amenities such as restrooms for staff. The Dream Suite Hotel in Da Nang faced this issue when converting its basement into a living and utility space. Despite significant drainage limitations, the challenge was fully solvable with the right solution designed for below-grade environments.
Challenge
The Dream Suite Hotel renovated its basement into a living and resting area for staff, making the addition of a restroom essential for convenience and smooth daily operations.
However, several technical problems quickly appeared:
-The basement sits 3 meters below the natural drainage level that connects to the building’s main septic tank, making gravity drainage impossible.
-Cutting the floor or drilling into concrete would be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to hotel activities.
-Modifying the existing drainage structure involved high technical risks and could interrupt overall building operations.
The hotel needed a solution that:
-Requires no floor cutting
-Operates reliably under high usage
-Pumps wastewater from basement level to the main drainage stack
-Installs quickly with minimal impact on the building
Solution
The technical team selected the Sanicubic 2 Classic, a high-capacity lifting station engineered for commercial wastewater applications.
Installed directly on the basement floor, it connects to all sanitary fixtures and pumps wastewater through a compact D50 discharge pipe to the main drainage line. This eliminates the need for breaking the floor and is perfectly suited for deep-basement conditions.
This solution enables:
-Efficient collection of wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers
-Reliable pumping from a low-level area to the main system
-Continuous, stable operation suitable for staff usage
Key Advantages of the Sanicubic 2 Classic
-Dual alternating motors provide durability, stable performance, and reduced load.
-Floor-mounted installation avoids structural damage and invasive construction.
-Compact D50 discharge pipe offers flexible installation in tight basement spaces.
-Powerful collection and transfer capability handles multiple fixtures at once.
-Easy maintenance, built for continuous use in commercial environments like hotels.
Results
The installation of the Sanicubic 2 Classic delivered clear, practical benefits:
-The basement restroom was completed and put into use quickly.
-No floor cutting was required, saving cost and construction time.
-The drainage system performs reliably, supporting high usage demands.
-Hotel operations were not disrupted during installation.
-Staff living and working conditions improved significantly.
The solution enabled the hotel to make full use of its basement, turning the space into a practical and comfortable area.
Conclusion
The Sanicubic 2 Classic is an effective solution for basements and other areas located below the natural drainage level. With strong pumping performance, quick installation, and no need for invasive construction, it helps commercial buildings expand and upgrade their facilities efficiently and cost-effectively.
