Water treatment for retail centres

A retail centre needs to connect its water source with tenant demand and the existing property infrastructure. The assessment should identify the required uses, available flow, storage and how supply is prioritised across the site.

Plan around the site

Set the operating brief.

  • Understand demand across tenants and shared property services.
  • Assess incoming water quality, available yield and the existing supply network.
  • Integrate treatment, tanks, level controls and pumping with the centre.

Carletonville and Ferndale provide historical examples of borehole-water treatment and storage for retail sites. The recorded capacities describe their documented scopes.

Useful answers

Questions for the project brief.

What information helps plan a shopping-centre supply?

Bring source analysis, demand information, tenant-use requirements and details of the existing tanks, pumps and distribution. Identify critical services and supply priorities.

Can the existing tanks and pipework be used?

Their condition, usable capacity, pressure and compatibility with the proposed supply arrangement need to be assessed as part of the site design.
