Citi Industries was engaged to undertake a complete grease trap lid replacement project at a facility in Maroochydore, Queensland. The project involved removing deteriorating and unsafe old grease trap lids and installing a new, heavy-duty grease trap cover system that ensures long-term performance and full compliance with Class D load rating requirements.
Challenges Faced by the Client
The client faced several critical challenges that required immediate attention:
- The existing grease trap lids were corroding and unsafe for load-bearing operations, posing safety risks to staff and visitors accessing the area.
- Surrounding areas required continuous foot and vehicle traffic during business hours. The client required minimal downtime to keep operations running smoothly during the replacement process.
- The client needed minimal downtime while ensuring the new installation met Class D load rating requirements to improve site safety and complied with current building codes and health regulations.
- The grease trap location in a high-traffic commercial area posed logistical challenges for safe removal and installation.
