History The Aquatec Environmental Group originated as a general fabricator in 1970. The company soon developed an interest in wastewater technology, commencing development of its own range of equipment in 1972. From inception, Aquatec-Maxcon sought to manufacture equipment better suited to the relatively severe Australian conditions. It has spent over $20 million dollars on research and development of designs that have been refined using input from its workshop, field installation crews, and operations staff to ensure the production of reliable and robust equipment. The company now has the most comprehensive range of water and wastewater technology available in Australia. The general fabrication capability has been retained throughout this period. Water and wastewater projects are undertaken in all states of Australia and overseas supported from offices in Sydney, and Brisbane (Ipswich). Extensive equipment fabrication facilities are available at the Brisbane office, where its sister company, Maxcon Industries, undertakes high quality fabrication. The group employs over 150 people, and has successfully completed projects in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Singapore, India, Vietnam and China. Aquatec Operations was established in 1992 and now operates a number of water and wastewater treatment plants for municipal, government and industrial customers. In 1994 PT Aquatec-Maxcon Indonesia was established - the first Indonesian subsidiary set up by an Australian water and wastewater company. It has now completed major potable water plants (up to 2000 l/s), as well as several Build Own Operate (BOO) contracts with ongoing operations. The company also has joint venture arrangements in Thailand and plans to play a major part in the growing South East Asian water and wastewater treatment markets. The Aquatec Group is wholly Australian owned, and has a record of continuous growth and profitability which has allowed it to build up a substantial asset base. This ensures its stability, allowing it to continue its technological development and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. Past Performance Aquatec Group have over the past 30 years installed almost every type of water and wastewater equipment possible. They have delivered these contracts under various types of project delivery systems. These have varied from pure supply, supply and install, design and construct, BOOT and alliance based projects. A large proportion of these projects are still supply and install with a number of these projects being to overseas customers. Increasingly, they include an operations component. Our years of experience have given us a broad range of knowledge of the different equipment used for differing purposes. This means that the client can rely on the correct selection and sizing of equipment for their application. In addition to technical expertise we have project management and installation teams with many years of experience in delivering projects in remote areas through to projects in major capital cities. The success of our operations is shown by the ongoing arrangements and multiple sites awarded over time by customers. In some instances, even our competitors are using our operations services. |
