We collaborated with SA Water and subcontractor Concept Environmental Services (Concept) to construct a 10-megalitre water storage solution in Port Lincoln, on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Remarkably, the project was completed in just 25% of the time typically required for a traditional water tank.
This rapid and efficient delivery was crucial for maintaining a reliable drinking water supply in the region ahead of a hot South Australian summer.
The Concept design utilised a tilt-up method with six-metre tall pre-cast concrete panels that were manufactured off site, allowing for extensive quality assurance testing on each panel. The panels were then transported to site and craned into place, in a process that is significantly quicker and safer for workers compared to cast-in-situ construction.
SA Water established the 'Water Frameworks' model to create a high performing collaborative environment, enabling each major framework partner to work closely with SA Water, and each other, to continuously improve the planning, management and delivery of water infrastructure projects across South Australia.
