The AWRC produces large volumes of high quality water suitable for a wide range of non-drinking uses in homes and businesses, for various industrial and agricultural uses, and for watering public open spaces.
Given its high quality, treated water is also transferred via a new water pipeline and released to the Nepean River to help sustain important river ecosystems. The remaining waste from the AWRC is transferred via a new brine pipeline to the existing wastewater network at Lansdowne.
The project’s scope includes:
- New advanced water recycling centre in Kemps Creek
- Pipeline to release high quality treated water to the Nepean River at Wallacia
- Pipeline to take the plant’s saline by-product (brine) to the existing wastewater network at Landsdowne
- Associated ancillary infrastructure.
Alliance has been working on the project for over 18 months and assisted with:
- Geotechnical investigations
- Lime Demand testing including test pit investigation and lime stabilisation treatments
- Compaction testing, proof rolls and foundation inspections for the pavements
- Providing remedial treatment when proof rolls fail (e.g. reworking subgrade, stabilising material)
- Laboratory Testing including compaction testing and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing.
