Australia’s Leading Sewer Vent Shaft Design, Fabrication & Installation Company
Patricia Dakanalis is your go-to for anything admin at SVSR.
Payroll, accounts receivable and accounts payable, bookkeeping, HR, recruitment, invoicing… she has an overview of the whole business.
And she has an ability to pick up details that others don’t. She calls it intuition but it’s also a very high attention to detail.
Patricia joined SVSR in 2013 and is now like part of the furniture.
“Because I’ve been here for so long, I feel that I am part of the company. If I don’t feel like I have a vested interest I can’t do my job… I have to feel connected. It gives me pride to know that I’ve done my job well. I like to see everything running smoothly and know that I’ve played a part in that.”
Prior to joining SVSR, Patricia was a stay-at-home mum running an eBay business on the side.
She also did the bookkeeping for her husband’s business… and it was that experience that led her to the job she is doing today.
“I didn’t want to go back to the travel industry that I had worked in before having kids, because it was so inflexible. I found that bookkeeping offered more flexible hours when the kids went to school. After I had tidied up my husband’s accounts I decided to see if I could find a job in the industry.”
Patricia is mum to two teenage boys who are fairly self-sufficient… as long as there is food in the house. Whenever she has time left over after work and spending time with her family she likes to work out or go for a walk on the treadmill. If she can drag her family out for the day, a hike along the Grand Canyon track in the Blue Mountains is an ideal way for her to spend a day.
While we’ve long specialised in leading sewer vent solutions for regional councils in New South Wales and Victoria, sewer vents aren’t our only service. Chris Antoun, SVSR Operations & Compliance Manager, recently oversaw a project for a Townsville sewer pump station, that involved customising our induct vent cowls to meet local council specifications. The result was a quality vent cowl solution… and a very satisfied client.

As a second-generation family business, SVSR has the capability and dedication to get the job done, even on the trickiest projects. We recently completed work on a new development in Burwood, which wasn’t always smooth sailing, but eventually successful. What we came up with was a smart solution – and a unique new design for an Odour Control Unit (OCR).
