Sanicom 1 and Sanicom 2 installed at Oasis Bar & Terrace, Canary Wharf

Oasis Bar & Terrace is an unmissable addition to the locality. The unique curve-linear building is constructed almost entirely of glass and wood and has two stylish staircases to the upper level where a picturesque terrace bar offers open air dining and drinking space. The easily accessed venue is located directly opposite the iconic One Canada Square with its array of shops and underground station.
To ensure the efficient discharge of grey water waste from the two bars, two Sanicom lifting stations from Saniflo were installed beneath the bar areas and connected to sinks and glass washers. The units were specified following a visit to site by a technical specialist from the Saniflo sales team who was able to advise the plumbers on the optimum solution for the venue.
Petr Ivanisevic is Operations Director of the Oasis Bar & Terrace and is very happy with the pumps which have worked perfectly since installation;
"Gravity drainage wasn’t an option for the bar because we are directly above the London underground and shops, so civils work was not possible. The Canary Wharf Group also has a ‘no dig’ policy in this area, so we were always going to need a pumped solution. The plumbers on the job had previously used Saniflo and put in a call to the technical team which proved really useful in getting the right products for the job."
In the downstairs bar - the longest in Canary Wharf at 17 m – a powerful Sanicom 2 has twin pumps which can handle the large volume of water but also ensures continuity of service in the event of a failure. Whilst the pumps work alternately for even wear and tear, a single pump can also assume the work of the other if one stops working. The waste pipes run from the Sanicom underneath the floor and outside to the soil and vent pipe (SVP) within the external customer WCs. A Sanicom 1 – with single pump – is installed in the upstairs bar and pumps downwards to ground level following the same discharge path as the Sanicom 2.
"The venue was basically made possible thanks to the innovative solutions from Saniflo and the advice provided by the company. The bar has been very successful so far."
