[TH - Case study - 01] Wastewater Solution for Bangkok’s Public Restroom with Sanicubic 1 VX
Sanicubic 1 VX collects wastewater from over 80 sanitary fixtures at a public restroom in Bangkok — odor-free and reliably durable
How can an underground public restroom serving thousands of visitors daily efficiently handle wastewater from over 80 fixtures—without odors and with stable performance? It sounds challenging, but there is a smart solution.
The Problem
The public restroom in the underground walkway in front of the Grand Palace in Bangkok serves thousands of tourists every day. The facility is equipped with more than 30 urinals and 50 toilets, creating massive and continuous wastewater pressure.
The main challenges included:
- Managing a huge volume of wastewater that needed to be collected continuously.
- A complex drainage network with multiple bends and a length exceeding 100 meters.
- Strict requirement for an odor-free environment in a confined underground space.
- Ensuring stable, uninterrupted operation even during peak usage hours.
The Solution
After a thorough site survey, the SFA Pumps technical team proposed the Sanicubic 1 VX lifting station—a high-capacity pump from the Sanicubic range designed to handle both black and grey water from multiple fixtures simultaneously.
Key implementation highlights:
- 28 Sanicubic 1 VX units were installed across the facility, ensuring complete wastewater collection and management for all 80+ sanitary fixtures.
- Powerful pumping capacity: Each unit can pump wastewater up to 3–5 meters vertically and over 100 meters horizontally, efficiently overcoming multiple pipe bends.
- Hygienic performance: The system completely eliminates odors, providing a clean and pleasant environment for thousands of daily visitors.
- Continuous operation: Stable performance meets the strict hygiene standards required for high-traffic public facilities, even during peak hours.
Results
Following the installation of 28 Sanicubic 1 VX units, the entire underground restroom at the Grand Palace now operates smoothly and efficiently. The system handles massive wastewater volumes without blockages or backflow, while keeping the space consistently clean and odor-free. Even at peak visitor times, the lifting stations deliver reliable performance—proving the durability and efficiency of Sanicubic solutions in large-scale public projects.
