Construction of 9.8km of Rising Main Pipeline
Description
This project on behalf of the Moree Shire Council and was part of the Moree Artesian Spa Effluent Project – Rising Main.

The 9.8km of rising main and associated works traversed the town of Moree.

- Design and construction of collection tank and pump house
- Installation and commissioning of pumps, alarms and control panels

Our Management
Forward planning and site management ensured exceptional progress - 500 to 600m of pipe laid per day.
Weekend rosters minimising disruption to businesses. Extensive advance potholing enabled the site team to avoid incidents or delays due to poorly marked services— Telstra and water.
Value Adding
At this time Narrabri Coal Operations were planning to construct Stage 2 of the Namoi Pipeline and Pump Stations.
Their representatives inspected the site works and impressed with our methodology and work standards s invited us to tender for their project.
CivilTeam subsequently won that $2.3m contract - Project 30.
