TEDDINGTON RAW WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE

The Teddington Weir and Water Treatment Plant provides drinking water supply for the Maryborough region and surrounds. BMD was contracted to construct a new raw water intake system, replace components in the existing station, and complete minor works to the existing structures to accommodate the new station.

It was critical that BMD kept the existing town water supply intact and operational throughout works, as well as achieve safety and environmental Zero Harm. A large portion of the project works were completed around and under water, which posed significant challenges for the project team.

A number of initiatives were implemented to ensure the works were completed without incident, including the implementation of a strict work methodology and procedures, the construction of special pontoons to accelerate installation processes and minimise construction timeframes, and the redesign of underwater structures to minimise the underwater workload. Silt curtains were also utilised to contain sediment and construction debris from entering the existing adjacent water course.

The project was completed on time, on budget, with no incidents, and the water supply remained fully operational throughout all works.

The scope of work included:

> construction of a new submerged raw water intake structure and raw water pump station

> construction of two drum screens and associated air blast cleaning system

> installation of a debris deflection screen to protect the intake structure

> installation of pipelines from the intake structure to the pump station

> construction of a dry well pump station with dry mounted submersible pump units

> installation of a vacuum priming system for priming the raw water pumps

> installation of discharge pipework to the existing intake works of the water treatment plant (WTP)

> modifications to the existing WTP aerator number 1, to replace the existing aerator section

> modifications to the existing WTP aerator number 2 internal pipework, to lower the operating water level in the unit

> installation of building to house electrical and mechanical equipment

> civil works including bulk earthworks, construction of an access road, drainage, crane pad and revegetation.

Due to a skilled and experienced project team, BMD completed the project with the following outcomes:

> completed under budget and on schedule

> zero incidents were recorded over 9639 hours worked and all audits (internal and external), received positive results

> praised for methodology, practices and high standards of construction by Queensland Urban Utilities and inspectors

> implemented a welding methodology where strings of 12 metre pipe were welded while the trench was excavated and then dropped in one movement, which accelerated the program and reduced costs for the client

> stakeholder engagement was vital to the project team’s success due to the number of residences around the project site.

BMD was awarded Stage 1 of the O’Possum Creek Trunk Sewer Duplication which includes the construction of a 2300 metre long section of GRP gravity sewer, and several live connections to existing estates and trunk mains. The scope of the project includes:

> installation of DN1000 to DN600 GRP gravity sewer mains at minimal fall

> construction of 21 custom Type X manholes

> live bypass works to enable flow switching and cut-ins to existing mains

> 623 metres of micro-tunnelling beneath live rail, roadways and pedestrian paths

> installation of two RCBC creek crossings and 100 metres of potable and recycled water main diversion.

BMD has been working collaboratively with the consultant engineers and asset authority to approve design alignments of the main to minimise impact on adjacent properties, stakeholders and projects.

BMD arranged early contractor involvement by the micro-tunneling subcontractor in order to coordinate shaft excavation and boring operations with adjacent developments.

Additional geotechnical assessments were also conducted during the procurement phase so that a suit of trench remediation measures could be developed prior to site establishment. This is intended to maximise production during construction and minimise costs for unsuitable material treatment.

HUMPTY-DOO SEWERAGE PUMP STATION

BMD delivered a new pump station and associated rising main pipeline to support growth within the Humpty Doo district centre and immediate surrounds. The successful completion of the project has allowed for continued growth of the area into the future, connection of the Humpty Doo township, and future commissioning of the current commercial sewerage pump station. The works were constructed in a staged approach to minimise disruption to the surrounding area. The project is the largest of its kind to be undertaken by BMD within the Northern Territory and its construction utilised shoring techniques which were a first for the Territory.

> construction of 13 metre deep, 4 metre diameter wet well, 1.8 metre collection chamber and the access chamber 1/1

> construction of 1025 metres of glass reinforced plastics (GRP) sewer rising main from the new pump station to the existing sewer treatment pond

> construction of Variable Speed Drive and Motor Control Centre including the generator shed

> sewer pump station compound.

The project involved excavating 13 metres into ground water, with bores sunk around the perimeter to dewater as excavation occurred. A large shoring system, imported from interstate, was used to ensure the safety and stability of the excavation. Wet well sections of four metres in diameter were precast in Darwin, transported to site, and craned into place. This ensured the excavation was exposed for the minimum amount of time possible, reducing the number of manhours required inside the excavation.

KEY OUTCOMES:

> The project was completed on time and illustrated BMD’s Zero Harm goal with no incidents or injuries occurring during construction.

> BMD worked closely with local businesses and residents to minimise disruptions during the project.

> The project’s quality of work and construction methodology was commended by the client representative.

BMD delivered a new pump station and rising main to cater for the growth to the master planned community at Pinnacle Estate.

> installation of 766 metres of 355 millimetre diameter sewer polyethylene (PE) rising main

> construction of a 3.5 metre diameter by 6.5 metre deep pump station and associated valve chambers

> construction of 428 metres of 525 millimetre glass reinforced plastic (GRP) trunk sewer

> construction of associated 1500 millimetre flat top manholes with an average depth of 4.2 metres

> excavating pump station wet well and trunk sewer through low lying ground consisting of saturated ash/sand/clay materials with water table at approximately 1.5 metres below ground level

> performed a temporary shutdown of the existing pump station and provided education to accommodate new connection of the 300 millimetre rising main.

KEY OUTCOMES

> The project was completed on time and on budget.

> There were zero incidents recorded over the 3600 hours worked on the project.

> During construction, BMD managed low lying wet swampy ground conditions via the construction of an elevated haul road (approximately 600 metres long). The haul road and associated turning bay was constructed at a height of 800 millimetres above existing ground level using reclaimed onsite rock.

BMD was engaged for major infrastructure headworks and the construction of six stages of a 74 lot subdivision in Angle Vale. The project required the fast-tracked construction of:

> 1.1 kilometres each of sewer and stormwater including both 6-metre-deep gravity fed sewer mains and pumping or rising mains leading from a sewer pump station to a future gravity discharge point

> 8-metre-deep, precast, fully automated sewerage pump station

> 850 metres of water main

> specialist detention basins containing 910m3 of gabion retaining walls.

During BMD’s procurement process of the 8-metre-deep sewerage pump station, SA Water amended the technical standards relating to pump stations. BMD had to successfully negotiate with SA Water to get outcomes that weren’t immediately redundant, and didn’t lead to cost overruns outside of the client’s budget or expectation and/or control. Construction of the structure itself was challenging due to its depth. BMD worked closely with specialist shoring contractors to ensure a suitable outcome that protected our workforce during construction.

KEY OUTCOMES

> BMD successfully negotiated road closures for the consultation of the gravity fed sewer mains, to ensure the safety of the project team. With the route used as an alternative oversize way for vehicles restricted by height, the negotiation included discussion and consultation with transport operators attempting to move wind turbine components from Port Adelaide to mid north for erection.

> BMD managed a highly successful relationship with utility provider, SA Water through close interaction over the duration of the project. This led to comments made in relation to BMD’s performance, transparency and relationship management among the best in a contractor they have worked with.

BMD constructed a new inlet works structure to manage influent wastewater and to remove solids, grit, sanitary products and other debris contained in the incoming sewage to improve treatment performance and environmental outcomes. It has improved the Northern Territory’s largest wastewater treatment facility, now treating 15 million litres of wastewater daily to protect people’s health and enhance the environment.

The pipeworks scope of the project included:

> construction of inlet pump station with three pumps

> supply and installation of lift pumps, band screens, grit system, RE water system and associated pipework

> installation of grit vortex and grit washing system

> supply and installation of valves and instruments

> supply and installation of new switch room and associated high voltage and low voltage works

> installation of designated odour control system

> commissioning.

BMD provided design optimisations which led to key savings for the client through the removal of a proposed secondary pump station in favour of overland drainage, and the comprehensive consolidation of all mechanical equipment. The inlet structure was designed for ease of future developments, with the structure elevated to provide sufficient hydraulic head capacity for future expansions.

KEY OUTCOMES:

> BMD managed multiple specialist subcontractors as well as self-performed pipework in a small compact worksite with no safety issues, and no compromise in quality

> 90% of the work was delivered locally by 15 Northern Territory contractors due to BMD’s strong focus on local industry participation

> 85% of material supplied for the project was sourced locally by 18 Northern Territory suppliers

> BMD developed a safe approach to excavate next to the existing treatment ponds to allow building and piling of a lower structure to be installed. During this operation seepage from the existing ponds was managed to maintain the safety of the excavation.

> BMD managed a workforce of 150 workers across 11 trades including engineers, plumbers, mechanical fitters and electricians

> 65,000 hours worked over the 18 month project duration with no lost time injuries.

WATER AND SEWER RETICULATION WORKS – THOMPSONS ROAD UPGRADE STAGE 2

BMD delivered the relocation of external trunk water and sewer mains to enable delivery of the Thompsons Road duplication between William Thwaites Boulevard and Wheelers Park Drive.

The scope of the project included:

> 780 metres of drinking water trunk main including 560mm PE, 502mm MSCL class 35, 355mm SDR11 PN16 PE and 150mm PVC pipes, and all associated valves, hydrants and bends

> construction of two bores (five lots of 502 millimetre MSCL class 35 water main) under the Thompsons Road duplication works

> construction of one bore (560 PE SDR11 PN16 water main) beneath Ti Tree Creek

> testing including swabbing, pressure testing, water quality and trench backfill compaction

> cutting over and connection of new 502 millimetre MSCL and 355 millimetre PE mains to existing

> cathodic protection of new 502 millimetre MSCL mains including anodes, cabling, test points, pits and markers to Energy Safe Victoria requirements

> pressure grouting of existing redundant 150 millimetre diameter, 300 millimetre diameter and 450 millimetre diameter mains

> 793 metres of sewer trunk main including 280mm GRP, and 225mm and 150mm PVC pipes, and all associated manholes, cambers and bends

> upgrade 63mm PE Rising main and pump station

> laser bore pipe jacking of sewer main under BP Service Station carpark (280mm GRP at 4.5 metres depth).

BMD’s experience in services infrastructure construction identified opportunities which provided cost savings to the client and ensured a safe and efficient project delivery. These outcomes included identification of an incorrect depth to the existing 450 millimetre ductile iron cement lined (DICL) main at the eastern connection point. An associated re-design of the eastern connection point:

> reduced the required length of 560 PE SDR11 PN16 pipe required to be constructed

> allowed construction of connection to existing 450 millimetre DICL main at a manageable depth

> met South East Water’s preferred option of water assets having no more than 1.5 metres of surface cover, where possible

> allowed a redesigned drill path which better mitigated the risk of existing services.

These works were undertaken as part of BMD’s $200 million project to duplicate Thompsons Road between Westernport Highway and Berwick-Cranbourne Road. These works are imperative to easing congestion and improving commuter times for the growing communities in Melbourne’s South East corridor.
