Project Overview
Broomehill and Tambellup are supplied with potable drinking water through a reticulated pipeline network controlled by the Water Corporation. Broomehill is serviced from an 80 Megalitre tank on a 15 metre high elevated stand located on Lot 675 to the North-East of town.
DM Civil’s experience in pipe cut-ins, removal of asbestos pipe and shutdown planning for critical assets was crucial to this project.
Significant achievements and benefits
The existing offtake to the gravity feed section is connected to two underground pits consisting of valves and asbestos pipework which were in poor condition.
Water Corporation is planning to replace the existing tank with larger capacity units. This requires the gravity feed reticulation network to connect to the existing offtake from distribution network using pressure reducing valves.
This project involved the demolition of the two existing pits, removal of old pipework and valves and installation of new pipework and valves at Broomehill townsite.
The design required a new concrete slab and fencing around the above-ground valve site and a contractor supplied fabrication drawing for the stainless steel pipe spools.
