The Fortis Precast Concrete Pump Station is QMAX’s proprietary precast solution for sewer and stormwater applications. Developed from more than 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing precast concrete pump stations, Fortis focuses on structural strength, durability, serviceability, and long-term asset performance for development and authority-owned infrastructure.
Fortis pump stations are engineered with a 100-year design life to provide asset owners with long-term certainty. This engineered design life supports reduced whole-of-life costs, minimises future replacement requirements, and enables confident long-term infrastructure planning for councils, water authorities, and major developments.
Fortis pump stations are manufactured using 70MPa high-strength concrete, exceeding the strength of many standard precast pump stations, which typically use 40–50MPa concrete. This increased concrete strength improves structural integrity, load resistance, and long-term durability in demanding water infrastructure applications.
Balanced component weights and modular construction improve lifting stability, reducing on-site handling risks during installation.
Yes. Fortis can be configured for sites with limited space, with an integral valve chamber available in custom sizes to reduce the overall footprint where required.
Yes. Fortis is commonly specified for the development of sewer and stormwater pump stations in housing estates, subdivisions, and multi-lot projects.
MRWA approval confirms that the Fortis Precast Concrete Pump Station has been independently assessed through the Metropolitan Retail Water Agencies (MRWA) framework and is accepted for use by participating Victorian retail water authorities. This approval verifies alignment with authority requirements for quality, safety, performance, and long-term suitability in public water infrastructure.
MRWA approval simplifies specification and approval pathways, reducing compliance risk and helping projects progress more efficiently through authority review stages.
Pre-approved design acceptance, documented performance, and alignment with authority standards help reduce the likelihood of redesign, resubmission, or project delays during approval processes.
QMAX provides whole-of-life support, including engineering documentation, commissioning assistance, operator training, and long-term service and maintenance planning.
Fortis combines MRWA acceptance, high-strength precast concrete construction, engineered durability, and QMAX’s full detailed design, engineering, and construction to deliver reliable, compliant water infrastructure outcomes.
