Oura Water Treatment Plant - Stage 2, Reservoir & Aerator Construction

Overview

Goldenfields Water have engaged Quay Civil Pty Ltd to undertake the $12.6 million detailed design and construction of new water infrastructure at the Oura Water Treatment Plant.

The design and construction of the reservoirs and aerators forms Stage 2 of the Oura Water Treatment Plant Upgrade.

Works for Stage 2 will include:

  • the finalisation of the preliminary designs for the construction of the proposed multi tray aeration unit and structural tower
  • transfer pipeline
  • two reservoirs (4ML each)
  • associated civil and electrical infrastructure along with instrumentation for the operation and monitoring of the system

Timing

  • Site mobilisation was completed mid September 2023
  • The base of the two reservoirs were poured in January/February 2024
  • The DN750 stainless steel inlet and outlet pipes that the GWCC Mechanical team fabricated specifically for the project have been installed
  • A total of 48 individual panels will be required to make up the walls of the reservoirs. Each panel will be poured individually then lifted into place via a crane

Stage 2 is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

Project Benefits

  • Increased water storage capacity for growth in towns supplied from our Oura Scheme
  • Reduced potential for disruption to supply when maintenance works are carried out on reservoirs
  • Increased treatment time to improve water quality
