Watermain Installation - DN 600 DICL and OD660 MSCL concrete encased and SINTAKOTE Pipe laid from easement off Renton Ave to connection point at Nuwarra Road.


Reinforcement picking up additional Pile cap to restrain loads around bend - Nuwarra Road

Due to constraints from other services within the easement and the HP Gas at the proposed thrust areas, a redesign called for restraining reinforced concrete piles and additional reinforcement and encasement of the water main. Pipe laying was technical and many services were supported.
