Cardinia Fluoride Dosing Plant
Cardinia Fluoride Dosing Plant
A major producer of potable water, this crucial water treatment plant in Victoria disinfects water by using chlorine to kill potentially harmful micro-organisms and maintain public health. The water is also fluoridated and corrected for pH.
To ensure longevity of their internal structure, Treadwell was tasked with providing a solution that would allow for easy access to instruments as well as provide for levelled flooring.
Project Challenges
- Being in an environment that produces potable water, downtime for maintenance had to be kept to a minimum.
- The structure had to be robust, durable and able to withstand constant exposure to minerals and chemicals.
- Decking had to be elevated to facilitate ease of access to equipment.
Project Information
Project Category: Water Treatment Plant
Scope of Work: Allow elevated decking to accommodate safe access to equipment.

- EX-Series® Colossus
- RailEX® Round Handrail
- ArchitEX™ Structural Sections
Treadwell Solution
- Corrosion resistant GratEX® FRP Grating are manufactured from premium grade resin systems and was specified over traditional materials to be the decking of choice.
- EX-Series® Colossus offers flexibility in height and is able to carry heavy loads. Ideal to support the GratEX® grating panels.
- ArchitEX™ FRP Structure and RailEX® handrail, including staircases, was the solution of choice.
- FRP is simply fabricated and modified on site. This means there is no need for any hot works permit.
- Being lightweight and easy to install, FRP is very manageable during construction.
- Given the nature of FRP, any system utilizing it is virtually maintenance free, keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
