Construction of a new 28 ML Clear Water Storage basin at the Moe Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to offer an improved water supply to the Moe, Trafalgar, Yarragon and Moe low level systems.
The basin construction involved excavation of 45,000m3 of insitu material and placement of 15,000m3 of selected fill material under full time Level 1 supervision. Once constructed, the basin was lined with Haogenplast 1.1mm lining material, supplied by a specialist lining contractor engaged directly by Jaydo.
Works also included the construction of 400 lm of DN600 MSCL inlet and outlet pipe works and 120m of DN600 PE pipeline. A twin 90kW filter backwash pump station was also constructed as part of the project, along with new switchboard to power the pumps.
key challenges
- Constructing the basin with 1:2 batter
- Wet weater conditions caused programme disruptions
- Delivering works inside the existing treatment plant
- The presence of excessive sand lenses
value for money
With natural springs located inside the construction footprint, the Jaydo team successfully managed works alongside these without disruption to the springs.
