[TH - Case study - 02] Basement Drainage Solution at Empire Tower Bangkok with Sanicubic 2 VX
Discover how Sanicubic 2 VX solved basement wastewater challenges at Empire Tower Bangkok—powerful, odor-free, and no floor cutting required.
How does a building's basement parking lot, which has to receive huge amounts of sewage from the upper floors flowing down, remain clean, odorless – when floor drilling is completely prohibited? This used to be a dilemma at Empire Tower, Bangkok, but it was finally fully solved thanks to the optimal solution!
Problem
The Empire Tower – one of the largest commercial buildings in Bangkok, Thailand – has a very large basement and parking lot. This puts strict requirements on the drainage system:
- Collect huge volumes of wastewater flowing from the upper floors by gravity.
- It is not allowed to drill and cut during construction.
- Ensure absolutely no odor in closed spaces, crowded with people.
The challenge is even greater when the distance from the basement to the septic tank is too far, making drainage by traditional methods nearly impossible.
Solution
After the survey, the SFA Pumps technical team decided to use the Sanicubic solution with the Sanicubic 2 VX surge pumping station! This is a high-capacity pumping station with 2 pump motors operating alternately, installed directly on the floor. This solution helps to collect wastewater efficiently without the need for floor drilling or complicated construction.
- Sanicubic 2 VX can pump wastewater up to a height of 2.5 meters.
- Push horizontally up to 100 meters through about 30 complex pipe bends.
- Closed operation, so it does not cause odors, meeting strict hygiene standards for high-end commercial buildings.
Sanicubic 2 VX Lifting Station
The Sanicubic 2 VX is a high-capacity twin pumping station, specially designed for buildings with high discharge flow.
- Vortex technology: collects both wastewater and solids, minimizing congestion.
- Double pump system: alternate operation and redundancy, ensuring continuous operation.
- Flooring, no need to dig holes: ideal for commercial buildings and parking lots.
- Powerful performance: suitable for environments with large drainage needs, multiple devices working simultaneously.
Result
After installing the Sanicubic 2 VX solution, the entire Empire Tower basement area has been operating stably:
- The amount of wastewater from the upper floor is collected and pumped out quickly, without congestion.
- The basement space is always clean, no unpleasant odors arise.
- The drainage system is durable and safe, meeting the needs of a large-scale commercial building.
Conclude
The project at Empire Tower Bangkok has proven the outstanding efficiency of the Sanicubic solution in collecting wastewater for the basement. With the ability to collect large volumes, no need for floor drilling, and ensure odorless operation, the Sanicubic 2 VX is an ideal choice for commercial buildings, shopping malls, railway stations or public areas with high traffic.
Sanicubic 2 VX – a powerful, clean and durable solution for basement drainage.
