Automation and centralization of water treatment plant

The client wished to raise the current level of automation, reduce the need for operator intervention on site, allow remote monitoring and operator control, and enhance site security. GHD’s involvement on this AUD$34 million project included preliminary and engineering design, followed by detailed design and construction phase services as part of the A+C’tion Alliance (GHD, Water Corporation and Leicon Notley ).

The project included the automation and centralised control of five metropolitan water treatment plants (WTPs), two regional water treatment plants and numerous minor sites (such as chlorinators and bores). There were challenges as the age of the treatment plants varied and the requirements at each site needed to be tailored to account for site variations.

Liverpool to Ashfield

Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd commissioned GHD as its design consultant for the design and construction of a 24km-long pipeline between Liverpool and Ashfield and other related sewer works. Sydney Water awarded the AUD$131 million contract to Leighton in July 2006.

The Liverpool to Ashfield Pipeline (LAP) is 1050mm in diameter and runs from the Liverpool Sewage Treatment Plant to the Western Branch Main Sewer at Ashfield. The idea was to transfer wastewater flows from the Liverpool STP and the Fairfield SSTP while the Northern Georges River Submain (NGRS) is rehabilitated. The pipeline has been constructed by open cut trenching, under boring and slip lining inside a disused 1225mm water main.
