Jaydo was engaged for the construction of a total of 2,414m of large diameter drainage pipeline to future proof the Beveridge community providing improved drainage and road surfaces. The scope of Melbourne Water drains pipeline included:
- Twin DN2100
- Twin DN1800
- Single DN2100 splay pipe
- Single DN1800 splay pipe
- Single DN1500 splay pipe
key challenges
- Constructing large diameter drainage amongst built-up estates along roadways. Staging plans were formulated in conjuction with Mitchel Shire Council and other contractors in the area to ensure
minimal disruptions to the residents and other stakeholders. - Works were planned around the local farm land south of the project to avoid disruption to farming activites (eg. seeding and harvesting) and to ensure stormwater run off was contained within the preagreed drainage channels
- Working alongside multiple other contractors delivering various other works along the alignment
- Delivered drainage trenching and crossing alongside multiple high value underground service assets, including water, power, optic fibre, gas, without any service shut downs and maintaining serviceability to the neighbouring estates
key innovations
- Service crossings required collaboration with all the relevant service authorities including Ausnet, APA, Telstra and the local water authority Yarra Valley Water
- Each service crossing had asset specific temporary works and protection designs. Temporary works designs were formalised in consultation with third party designers and relevant authorities to ensure
favourable and safe outcomes to the asset owner, and with no disruptions to the end user of these assets - Trench shields associated with the pit structures were custom engineered due to size of the structures (pictured below)
