News and Stories

As a leader in sewer vent shaft design, fabrication and installation, SVSR knows vent shafts – and cowls – implicitly. And while we are experts in the sewer industry, we can also manufacture customised vent shafts and cowls for a range of other sectors… just as we did recently for Viva Energy Australia’s Geelong Refinery.

SVSR designs, fabricates and installs sewer vents across NSW, with many existing shafts situated on residential property. Given the need to traverse homes, backyards and farms, there can be some special circumstances to navigate… as we discovered on a recent trip to Grenfell in the NSW central west.

With longstanding expertise for councils and asset managers across NSW, SVSR provides comprehensive sewer vent shaft solutions, including design, fabrication, installation… and sometimes demolition. And this is what we’ve recently been working on for Orange City Council.

SVSR has been servicing councils around NSW for decades with end to end project management that includes sewer vent shaft design, fabrication, installation, maintenance – and removal. Our services are flexible and responsive. And that’s just what Snowy Valley Council needed recently for an emergency sewer vent removal.

Last year we brought you news that SVSR had been accepted into the ANSTO deep technology hub at Lucas Heights in Sydney. As part of this exciting collaboration, we’re now looking to expand our expert team with the help of the ANSTO Graduate Institute. This will help us move forward with our key research focus: sustainable odour control.

SVSR knows sewer vents. We design, fabricate and install vent shafts and vent cowls. We’ve worked with Sydney water and regional councils for years, to check and maintain sewer vent condition. As part of our work we commonly encounter sewer vents in a critical state – and this was the case recently in Lithgow. Here’s what we discovered, how we helped – and why now is the perfect time to check your own ageing vent shafts.
