Citi Industries has recently completed a Grease Trap installation in Acacia Ridge, QLD, for one of the busiest shopping centres. This project required external and internal plumbing works to accommodate a new commercial kitchen for the centre. Works included the underground grease trap with a 1,000L capacity; laying of trade waste and water pipe work and the management of difficult to access excavation sites with high pedestrian traffic. Kitchen performer installed internally complete with 80Lt electric hot water unit, cold and hot water rough ins, and fixing of client supplied fixtures. Citi Industries delivered a fully installed project without sacrificing oversights of public safety or regulatory standards.Â
The case study presents the challenges, solutions, and ultimate success of the project. Read on.
Challenges
All commercial plumbing jobs have site-specific requirements and this Grease Trap Installation in Acacia Ridge, QLD was certainly no different. Citi Industries had several logistical and technical obstacles that needed organized planning and flexibility on the job to be done right and in the safest way:
- Manual excavation was needed due to confined walkway space. Close access in the public walkway didn’t allow construction machinery to be brought in, with all trenching dug by hand.
- Management of multiple underground services became most necessary. The subsurface services existed to an extensive degree as the utilities and drain lines required careful excavation work and detailed site mapping.
- Need for continuous pedestrian access and safety. Given that the project was carried out in an operating shopping centre, maintaining public safety as well as clear foot flow was paramount throughout.
- Easy integration with current site plumbing and infrastructure. Connectivity to remaining pre-installed tenancy plumbing was of paramount importance for the new trade waste and water systems.
Despite challenges, the project was expertly handled by anticipating problems and sticking to safety and code requirements.

After external and internal plumbing works executed strategically, the Grease Trap Installation in Acacia Ridge, QLD was perfectly done and high volume level. The results demonstrate Citi Industries’ dedication to safety, regulation and operational excellence:
