Achieving an average daily pipe-laying rate of 1.25 km (peaking at 3.1 km), we constructed this 217 km long, large diameter water pipeline on a fast-track program for Sunwater.
The pipeline delivers 16,800 ML of water per annum to a terminal storage at Moranbah to be used predominately by industry. The new water supply ensures the continued prosperity of the Bowen Basin Region.
The pipeline route begins at Gorge Weir, downstream of the Burdekin Falls Dam, and joins the Enertrade Gas Pipeline route, before cutting east to join the existing Eungella Pipeline to Moranbah.
Mobilising a fleet of twenty, 30 tonne excavators, our team met all schedule milestones and achieved all key performance objectives for safety, environment, quality and stakeholder management.
A 220 person capacity camp was constructed 10 km away from Collinsville to house the majority of the workforce. To ensure minimal impact on the environment, the previous construction camp site used during the North Queensland Gas Pipeline Project was selected.
In excess of 4 million kilometres were safely driven, including a fleet of truck and trailers necessary to haul in the 350,000 m3 of sand extracted from nearby rivers.
A fauna capture, record and relocation program was successfully delivered.
