COMPANY PROFILE - WJ Pratt

COMPANY PROFILE

Capability Statement
Our company has proven itself in Australia over the last 45 years. We have successfully
completed many major projects such as Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre Stage 1 and
2, Upgrades at Homebush Aquatic Centre and the FINA 2007 World Championship pools.
We offer full design and construct services for water treatment, hydraulic services and
environmental initiatives.
Our company has full off site manufacturing facilities and in house engineering capabilities
and offer our services to all geographical locations in the Australasian and Pacific Regions.
We are completely focussed on client satisfaction and would appreciate the opportunity to
demonstrate our capability first hand.
We believe that our market advantage is the turnkey operation we provide and the level of
experience we bring to projects. The majority of our works is based on consultant or client
recommendations as we have never been subjected to liquidated damages not have we
ever had a project where the pool water treatment has failed.
We utilise qualified tradesman rather than fitters and have our own in-house controls
development and control panel manufacture business. It is clear that when a client just
wants a pool that works and is built on time with the necessary quality then we are the
contractor of choice.
Our experience with large scale pool water treatment systems is unrivalled in Australia and
we believe that we provide our clients with the assistance and experience to ensure project
we work on are a complete success. We never forget the saying “You are only as good as
your least project”.
We have no supplier agreements and this allows to consider products that best suit a
clients needs rather than putting forward products simply because we are an agent of the
manufacturer.
Please feel free to contact us for any further information in regards to ability, quality, experience
or technical capability.
