Richmond Water Main Project

2014 Queensland

Project Name: Richmond Water Main Augmentation – Richmond (QLD)
Client: Richmond Shire Council
Value: $1.1M
Commencement: August 2014

Overview:
Due to the reactive nature of the soils in the region the existing asbestos cement main is becoming too brittle to cope with the high level of ground movement. Subsequently Offaly Civil Engineering were engaged to replace these mains to address this issue & cope with higher demand placed on the system once a new water treatment plant has been installed.

– Installation of 7.0 km of DN150 PVC water main.
– Live connections to existing council Water mains
– Saw cutting & road rehabilitation
– Domestic & Commercial water service connections
– Community liaison to mitigate effects of water outages when commissioning new services.
– Installation of associated hydrants & isolation valves.
– Testing and commissioning to local standards.

I’d like to take this opportunity to explain that in my experience over the last four years as a Project Engineer/Manager within the Central Highlands Regional Council I have very rarely come across a Contractor with the level of professional service delivered by Offaly Civil. It is a testament not only to the management of the company but also to their ground staff and personnel within their ranks as they each take their role within the organisation quite seriously and responsibly. The staff quite simply understand and are well versed in the knowledge required for the project installation, the type of operation and the expectation in all facets of project delivery, final outcome and aims of a project, which is clearly demonstrated from the top down and is a credit to the organisation as a whole.
