Gynaecology clinic

The Anglesea Gynaecology Clinic is a premium centre considered one of the best in New Zealand. The facility where the clinic was located had become too small for their demand, so the clinic needed to relocate and custom design the new space to meet their needs.

Shed to powder room conversion

Outdoor living is a big part of the summer; where coming together with family and friends for a barbecue and splash in the pool is one of life's simple pleasures

Office space to doctors clinic conversion

This new doctor’s clinic designed by Sol Atkinson of Atkinson Harwood Architecture, sits on the ground floor of a three-storey commercial building in Napier. Converting the office space into a doctor’s surgery was challenging from a plumbing perspective; while the doctors needed hand basins in each room, the existing plumbing structure did not reach most of these spaces, and cutting up the floor in order to install additional waste pipes would have affected the structural integrity of the building.

Plumbing solution for innovative wooden building

One of the most exciting developments in architecture is the resurgence of timber and the innovative construction of tall wooden buildings. Timber construction has significant advantages, particularly for the environment, as it is a strong and renewable material, and it reduces biodiversity loss. It is more sustainable in terms of embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions than concrete or steel, and provides opportunities for climate change mitigation through a process of carbon sequestration.

Dental clinic

When creating a new dental clinic in an existing office/retail space, there is often not adequate drainage access. Most of the time, there are restrictions to how many core holes a new business can place through their floor to create drainage, and in some instances they cannot make any penetrations at all. In these situations, a macerator or grey water pump is the solution.

Under house conversion

When Carla and John Giannakopoulos thought about selling their beautiful South Coogee home, the feedback that they kept receiving was that the home needed an additional, private living space.

Inground lifting station solution

Packaged pumping stations are an efficient solution where gravity reliant sewerage and storm water systems are not possible due to limited site access and site constraints such as property sloping away from the sewer or storm water infrastructure.

When a new early learning centre was being built in a commercial retail space, installing the plumbing amenities on the existing concrete slab was only possible using SFA's range of greywater pumps and macerators.
