South Australian Water Treatment Plant
South Australian Water Treatment Plant
Every year, SA Water manages and treats millions of litres of sewerage in South Australia. SA Water was proposing to substantially increase capacity at its Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant to help meet future population and industry growth in the surrounding region. As part of SA Water’s plan to upgrade the South Australia plant to increase capacity of up to 50% in certain areas, Treadwell had been tasked to aid in fulfilling the expansion of the facility. $24.6 million has been budgeted for the capacity upgrade in the 2015 period, with additional expenditure in future years to be determined through detailed design and tendering processes.
Project Challenges
- Previous plant was suffering from corrosion of concrete in a number of key portions of the plant.
- Elements to allow inlet screens and clarifiers to accommodate the new projected flows were required.
- The cost of maintenance of the facility is a concern once installed as experience with previous materials required consistent attention to upkeep the usability of the centre.
