Sewage Transfer Hub
Sewage Transfer Hub
This sewage plant located in Victoria, required additional infrastructure to accommodate the growing population in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. This would include new above-ground tanks and a new sewage pump station, which would improve their capacity to collect, store and transfer sewage flows. An innovative planning and design process was undertaken that would allow this plant to grow as needed to match development, and resulted in a saving of over $100 million through this alternative solution.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the FRP odour control solution as part of this project.
Project Challenges
- Covers needed to be mounted from the top and needed to be easily removable.
- Covers needed to be high strength, durable and load bearing.
- Traditional materials would not be able to withstand the constant exposure to the surrounding highly acidic environment. The selected material needed to be resistant to corrosion, to ensure longevity.
