Supplying Reliable Power to a Sunshine Coast Region Pumping Station

Supplying Reliable Power to a Sunshine Coast Region Pumping Station

Reliable power is essential for critical infrastructure, especially when it comes to the safe and consistent delivery of water to local communities. Recently, Genelite was engaged to supply an 800kVA prime-rated generator to support system redundancy at a major water pumping station in the Sunshine Coast region.

Keeping water flowing requires more than just reliable pumps, it needs reliable power. Genelite supplied an 800kVA prime-rated generator for a major water pumping station, ensuring continued operation in the event of grid failure or extended power interruptions.

Built for Redundancy, Ready for Continuous Operation

At essential water infrastructure sites, operations simply can’t stop. Water pumping systems need to continue running, even during grid outages or power disruptions. That’s why the site required a prime-rated generator capable of handling continuous loads during extended outages, not just short-term backup duty.

The generator supplied by Genelite combines a Cummins industrial engine with a Mecc Alte alternator, a trusted combination known for durability, fuel efficiency, and clean power delivery. The unit was housed in a silenced canopy, ensuring safe, weather-protected operation with reduced acoustic impact on the surrounding environment.

Extended Run Fuel Tank

To further enhance the system’s autonomy, the generator was installed on site with an extended-run fuel tank base, allowing for longer operation without refuelling, a key consideration for infrastructure that must remain powered for hours or even days at a time during emergencies.

Genelite supplied the complete unit, ready for site integration. Photos from the project show the generator being craned into position, highlighting the scale of the unit and the precision required for installation at an operational water facility.

Power That Supports Essential Services

Projects like this highlight the critical role of reliable, efficient generators in public utility applications. Whether it’s for water, communications, or emergency services, Genelite continues to support essential services with dependable power solutions built to perform when it matters most.
