Robertson Sewerage Scheme : Robertson, NSW : 2011 - 2013
Wastewater : Robertson, NSW
A 25km underground (infill) sewerage reticulation pipe network in and around Robertson, NSW. The project required the installation of a gravity and pressure pipe network, pump station, sewerage treatment plant and storage dam. Robertson lies within the Sydney Water Catchment area, resulting in strict environmental controls. The location and heavy rainfall during the project also resulted in a high water level meaning substantial dewatering was necessary.
