As leading vent shaft design, fabrication, installation and maintenance specialists, so much research and analysis is required to make informed decisions on vent cowls, the different options and where to use them. SVSR is an expert in the field and shares some insights and guidance on vent cowls in sewer network planning.

As a leading provider of sewer vents, vent shaft cowls and odour filters for over 25 years, SVSR has a vast knowledge of industry standards and specific site demands for Sydney Water and regional and council projects. We are pleased therefore to now offer complete sewer ventilation design services, including bespoke design services for councils and utility and commercial clients.

SVSR specialises in comprehensive sewer vent solutions, including the safe removal of ageing sewer vent shafts, and the fabrication, supply and installation of sewer vents, vent shaft cowls and odour filters. We’ve been working with Wingecarribee Council for close to ten years, removing and replacing several concrete sewer vents that were up to 60 years old.

The CSIRO STEM Professionals in Schools program facilitates partnerships between schools and industry to bring real-world STEM into the classroom. SVSR was delighted to take part once more this year, with Duncan Reynolds working with P-TECH Leader and teacher Lee Sullivan and Year 9 students from Penola Catholic College on an innovative and sustainable bus shelter.

Like most Australian manufacturers, SVSR has faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s also provided us with a unique opportunity to harness our expertise, and redefine and strengthen our business. We’re pleased to announce that we are expanding our services to include general, sheet metal and custom metal fabrication – across all industry sectors.

SVSR has a broad knowledge of wastewater networks, sewer ventilation and changing practices across the wastewater industry. Currently, the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is in the process of updating the Sewage Pump Station Design Guidelines. Here’s our guide to help designers, constructors and asset managers (the potential changes and what they mean for our regional, council and commercial customers).
