Pipes for pertH
2016 – ongoing
Water Corporation are undertaking a water main renewal program to improve the security and reliability of Perth’s water supply. Sections of Perth’s water main network are over 100 years old and the replacement of the old cast iron pipes is required. Civcon have been awarded several of the contracts including Roe Street, Victoria Park, Cambridge Street, Nicholson Road, Hammersley & Keightly Road, Bayswater, and Package A.
The projects are located along major roads and in residential areas. Replacing the buried pipes has to be managed with minimal disruptions to surrounding residences, businesses and local traffic. The project teams work within restricted areas and develop construction solutions to fit the challenging locations. On the Coughlan and Subiaco Road project, an innovative extraction methodology to protect existing assets was created and resulted in time and cost savings for the client.
IWSS SERPENTINE VALVE REPLACEMENT
Civcon was awarded this Water Corporation project, for the construction of a valve complex including excavation and installation of DN1200 and DN1000 pipe and connecting the new valve complex to the existing water mains.
The site was located near the intersection of Jarrah Road and Riverview Road in East Victoria Park, close to residential properties. The project team liaised directly with residents to inform them about upcoming working stages, maintained access to local roads and properties, and implemented dust and noise management plans, to minimise the impact of construction activities to the local community.
This project is another example highlighting Civcon’s capabilities in delivering complex underground infrastructure, close to residential properties and within a restricted construction site.
BEENYUP GWR STAGE2 PIPELINE
September 2018 - October 2019
Civcon were awarded another Water Corporation contract for the installation of approximately 10 km of open trench DN800 and DN710 HDPE pipeline from the Beenyup Advanced Water Recycling Plant to two new recharge bore sites in the Joondalup / Wanneroo area.
A portion of the works requires micro-tunnelling under the Mitchell Freeway / Transperth Joondalup Rail Line, the close monitoring of road and rail integrity while completing the works and managing local residents and council throughout anticipated night works.
The large pipeline progresses through residential areas, requiring a high level of community and stakeholder engagement. Local constraints included interfacing with a local school, maintaining Rotary Park access and function, school holidays, PTA bus routes and multiple residential houses in coordination with the Water Corporation community engagement team.
The project has placed high importance on the surrounding environment. Sections of the work run adjacent to Lake Joondalup Nature Reserve and through Yallagonga regional reserve, with major dewatering operations in place due to high water tables.
The project was subject to a number of external audits one of which was a detailed two-day Federal Safety Commission Audit, with no Non-Conformances issued.
ROTTNEST ISLAND WASTE WATER PUMP STATION UPGRADE
August 2018 - November 2018
Civcon was contracted to undertake the design and construction of the civil services for the upgrade of the Waste Water Pump Station located in Longreach Bay on Rottnest Island. The project required strong project and stakeholder management with Rottnest Island Authority, Sage Automation for the integration of communications work into the existing communications system (WinCC), and several subcontractors.
Civcon were responsible for the mobilisation of all plant, equipment, vehicles and materials to and from Rottnest Island with minimal disruption to the island’s day to day operations.
Civcon’s project team ensured all design elements and construction methodologies were considered within Rottnest Island’s A-Class Reserve environmental protection regulations. All service infrastructure was constructed without any environmental or safety incidents.
rokeby road combined services project & streetscape
August 2016 – March 2017
Water Corporation and other utility providers collaboratively procured for the renewal of services through Rokeby Road in Subiaco. Civcon worked together with Water Corporation to manage the requirements of all parties.
The City of Subiaco required a contractor for street upgrades including street lighting and communication conduits along Rokeby Road. Civcon were able to combine the design, service requirements and specifications of the parties into one project.
Prior to commencement of the works, Civcon conducted a survey to locate existing services and then designed a common trench for all services to best fit the existing infrastructure on Rokeby Road. After the design was accepted by all parties, works was managed in sequence and proceeded efficiently to completion.
Civcon’s proactive planning and management of all stakeholders allowed works to be completed on schedule and to the satisfaction of all parties.
hay street main renewal
October 2016 – February 2017
Following the Rokeby Road Combined Services Project, Civcon were engaged to renew utilities in a combined services project along Hay Street in West Perth.
This project, under a Water Corporation contract, involved construction of 150 metres of a new DN250 PN16 PE water main via open excavation in the southern lane of Hay Street between Milligan Street and Elder Street, including all connections to fire hydrants and domestic services.
Civcon successfully managed the needs and expectations of a large number of stakeholders, including the residents and businesses in several large buildings adjacent to the work. A traffic management plan was put in place to ensure safe access to the site and residential and business properties, as well as maximising the safety and traffic flow for both pedestrians and motorists. Hay Street had to remain open as a thoroughfare at all times.
Perth City Link Services Scheme
December 2013 - January 2017
This project involved a complex upgrade of services along Wellington Street, Kings Square, Milligan Street, King Street, Prince Lane, and Little Milligan Street to cater for the future demands of the Perth City Link Project. Works included stormwater drainage, water main installations, electrical pipe and ATCO Gas pipe installations. Civcon delivered this project successfully for the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA).
The close proximity of the project to the Perth Arena presented a major challenge with a high number of events carried out during the project life. It was imperative to ensure the safe and efficient movement of approximately 15,000 personnel within small event timeframes through the works vicinity.
Civcon developed and implemented Community and Communication Management Plans, engaged regularly with key stakeholders, and conducted early stage planning to ensure public safety and access was effectively managed throughout the life of the project, without any incidents or complaints.
