Sanicubic 2 VX bathroom installation

In large office buildings, one of the most common challenges during expansion or renovation is the lack of nearby drainage lines. This becomes a major hurdle when setting up essential facilities such as washrooms and cafeterias, where heavy wastewater loads are generated daily.

Efficient wastewater drainage is crucial in such commercial spaces, not only to ensure hygiene and smooth operations but also to prevent costly disruptions and infrastructure issues. Traditional plumbing solutions often require extensive civil work, which is both time-consuming and expensive.

This is where the Sanicubic 2 VX comes in. Designed to handle high volumes of wastewater, it provides a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-install solution for commercial spaces, making it the ideal choice for large office buildings.

 

The Challenge

An office complex accommodating nearly 600 employees daily aimed to improve staff comfort by introducing a new washroom facility along with a cafeteria.
While the plan appeared simple at first, the absence of a nearby drainage line quickly emerged as a critical challenge. This meant that managing wastewater disposal would become a significant challenge.

The issue was further complicated by the high volume of wastewater expected from the setup. Multiple WCs, sinks, and kitchen equipment would contribute to heavy loads of grey and black water, making traditional drainage solutions impractical and expensive.


The Solution

To overcome the drainage challenge, the ideal approach was the installation of two units of Sanicubic 2 VX lifting station, each dedicated to specific needs within the building.

Unit 1 – Cafeteria: This unit was assigned to handle wastewater drainage from the bain-marie and kitchen equipment. With peak-hour usage in mind, the Sanicubic 2 VX ensured uninterrupted and efficient wastewater disposal, keeping the cafeteria running smoothly.

Unit 2 – Washroom: The second unit was installed to manage wastewater drainage from 7 sinks and multiple WCs. This setup ensured reliable and hygienic discharge, preventing blockages or overflows despite the heavy load from daily staff use.

The Sanicubic 2 VX lifting station proved to be the perfect solution, requiring no major civil work, offering high capacity, ensuring reliable performance, and providing the advantage of easy maintenance.
