Maryborough Water Main Replacement

2016

Project Name: Albert Street Water Main Project – Maryborough (QLD)

Client: Fraser Coast Regional Council

Value: $1.2M

Commencement: June 2016

Offaly Civil Engineering was engaged by Wide Bay Water to replace 1,820m of 300mm diameter, 81-year-old, cast-iron water main in Albert Street, Maryborough. The main was constructed as part of the original Maryborough drinking water system in the 1930s. “The replacement of the main will improve the performance of the system as well as reduce water lost through leakage and bursts,” Wide Bay Water CEO said.

Overview:

Installation of 1.8km of DN300 PVC Water Main.
Installation of 500m of DN300 DICL Water Main.
Trenchless installation of DN450 HDPE water main under Ferry Street.
Live Connections to Existing Water Main.
Road Rehabilitation
Installation of Water Main under live traffic Conditions.
Hydrostatic Testing & Commissioning.
Re-habilitation of project site.

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.
