$ 1.2m

Jaydo was engaged by Yarra Valley Water for the construction of a new Ferrous Chloride Dosing Facility. The scope of works included:

  • 2x 27kl storage tanks
  • Chemical storage bund
  • GRP secondary floor over chemical storage bund
  • Chemical delivery bund
  • Dosing skid
  • Building over storage bund
  • Dosing switchboard and weatherproof canopy

The new facility was constructed within an operational facility and completed without any disruption. Yarra Valley Water still had continual access to the existing pump station throughout the project also. 

key challenges

  • The project was delivered through the COVID-19 pandemic, with works paused at one point due to the Victorian Government’s industry shutdown guidelines
  • Various supplies were also delayed through this time, Jaydo sourced materials elsewhere to ensure the project was not delayed

Value for money

There were many efficiency savings for the client as Jaydo and subcontractor, Aquatec, utilised their in-house design teams to develop various design elements that in turn reduced costs including an FRP elevated platform, mechanical pipework, dosing skid, electrical works and the chemical dosing building enclosure.
