After 42 years in business, including more than three decades in Marrickville, SECA is relocating to new, larger premises at Chipping Norton on 14 December 2009.

SECA General Manager Mark Quealy said “It is the continued and valued support of our customers that has allowed us to make this move and our new facility enables us to provide them with a better service and supply.”

A new sales office, sales counter and showroom has been included and the company has expanded the CCTV service facility to make way for a fourth CCTV technician. This new state-of-the-art CCTV workshop and the additional warehouse space will allow SECA to service CCTV equipment in the CCTV van when necessary and also allow the company to offer ‘van fit-out services’ in-house, said Mr Quealy.

“Water jetting sales are a big part of the business nowadays. We manufactured and sold our first water jetter back in 1990 and this has been on the increase ever since. The extra space will be of great benefit, not only in the manufacturing but in stocking spare parts and servicing our customers’ water jetting equipment.”

New Danish models on the way

In 2005, SECA began importing sewer cleaning trucks from Danish company J Hvidvted Larsen. SECA now has a number of machines in service throughout Australia and is currently awaiting the arrival of two demonstration units. These two trucks, one being a combination jetting/vacuum unit and the other being a recycling unit, will be on the road over the next few months doing demonstrations. The selling and servicing of these large truck units is one of the major contributing factors to the company's relocation.

Transport, handling and disposal of sludge are environmental challenges and represent significant costs for municipalities, waste management companies and related industries. The MaskoFlex unit is a mobile dewatering unit, developed and manufactured in Denmark.

This dewatering technology holds advantages for the recipient, the contractor and the environment. The MaskoFlex may be considered as a mobile treatment plant since the dewatering process is carried out onsite and the reject water is immediately returned to the source. The bacterial culture is thus kept intact at the source, which ensures an optimum function of, for instance, a septic tank system or a grease trap.

The dewatering system removes water from the sludge by means of polymer and reduces the amount of sludge significantly. Septic sludge is reduced by more than 80 per cent and the system has a proven high efficiency on bio waste and grease as well. ”The JHL dewatering technology ensures continuity throughout the work day and therefore saves time, fuel and money,” said Donal Kearney, AQS Environmental Solutions Ltd, Ireland.

Having one of these trucks at the former premises in Marrickville was a big interruption to the workshop in regards to space, but that will not be a problem at all now in the new facility.

Welcome!

SECA looks forward to welcoming everyone to visit the new premises at 5/85 Alfred Road, Chipping Norton, New South Wales.
