Efficient Grease Waste Solutions: Jaybro’s FRP Tanks in Brisbane & Nambour
When Woolworths needed a robust grease management solution for their West End Brisbane store, along with the Nambour RSL, Jaybro stepped in with the ideal product: our Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grease Traps. These tanks were chosen for their durability, superior installation flexibility, and compliance with strict environmental standards.
Project Overview
At Woolworths in West End, two 15,000-litre Grease traps were installed underground to handle the store’s grease waste. Similarly, the Nambour RSL required two 5,000-litre Grease traps to be installed in a tight space. Both sites presented challenges that made our FRP grease traps an ideal fit. The West End site had height restrictions and required above-ground access, while Nambour’s installation space was difficult to reach.
Why Jaybro’s FRP Grease Traps Were the Best Solution
- Superior Strength: The tanks are constructed with a 35mm thick fibreglass-reinforced plastic, ensuring durability and resistance to damage. This was crucial for supporting high surface loads and preventing fractures, especially in hard-to-access installations.
- Ideal for Restricted Sites: Jaybro’s tanks are lightweight enough to be installed by hand without the need for cranes, making them ideal for Nambour’s restricted site, where larger equipment couldn’t be used.
- Odour Control: Polyethylene, used in our injection-moulded grease traps, is inert and prevents odour leakage. This was a key benefit for Woolworths, which operates in a residential area, ensuring a pleasant environment for the surrounding community.
- Versatile Installation Options: These FRP tanks are designed for both above and below-ground installations. In Brisbane, the tanks were installed underground but still allowed for above-ground access, accommodating the site’s height restrictions.
Low Maintenance & Compliance
The polyethylene material also requires minimal maintenance. The surface is easy to clean, and with efficient waste removal access, the task of managing fats and grease is simplified for the Woolworths and Nambour teams. Additionally, Jaybro’s grease traps conform to relevant AS/NZS standards (4766.2004, 1546.1.2008, and 1546.3) and are certified by BSI Group. These certifications provide reassurance that our tanks meet stringent Australian and New Zealand regulatory requirements for safety and performance.
The Results
Both Woolworths and Nambour RSL were able to benefit from Jaybro’s efficient grease management systems. The tanks’ easy installation, combined with their superior strength and low maintenance needs, ensured the projects were completed without delays, meeting environmental and safety standards with ease.
