Eastern Treatment Plant is a major metropolitan treatment facility located in Bangholme, Victoria and is operated by Melbourne Water.
About the Project
The project was a combination of green-field and brown-field works. Green-field works consisted of fitting out of a recuperative sludge thickening facility complete with chemical mixing and dosing and a digested sludge pumping station.
Tankweld also successfully de-commissioned long sections of tightly constrained piping winding through underground tunnels. We fabricated and installed new stainless steel piping, connecting the new facility to the existing pipework.
Project Challenges
Installation and fit up of this new piping within the already crowded pipe racks of the underground tunnels provided an opportunity for Tankweld to demonstrate its capabilities to tackle difficult piping routes, providing flexible technical solutions, drafting and practical experience from design concept through to installation and testing. Tankweld also installed sections of uPVC above-ground piping as part of the same project.
