Design & Construct Replacement Water Main Crossing Ross River
Project Overview / Description
As part of the upgrade to the Townsville water system, CivilPlus Constructions was contracted to design and construct a new main waterline underneath the Ross River. The new waterline connected the potable water running beside Riverway Drive to the mains next to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant.
CivilPlus used a horizontal piling rig and under-bore technique to tunnel the new water main underneath the Ross River without disturbing the water flow.
CivilPlus managed the design process, aligning the plan with construction feasibility and critical outcomes for the client.
Project Features:
- 360m underbore from Condon to Douglas
- Driving pipe liners under one of Townsville's busiest roads, without disrupting traffic
- 360m of HDPE pipe will be welded together at Condon and then pulled under the river in one string
