Client: Watercorp
Location: Wickham, WA
Date: May 2015 - ongoing
Project Description: This project involved the building of new piers under existing watermain while protecting existing supports, without any harm to above ground water main. The new piers had to be excavated carefully under extising main as the DN 600 MSCL was live. These foundations had to be compacted and tested so as to support new piers.
The project then required reo steel to be placed around the existing watermain. Once this was in place neoprene was then placed aroundThis was then signed off and inspected ready for concrete pour.
The existing piers had to be removed with caution as not to damage live pipeline. Once concrete was cured and stripped Firedam had to place rock protection around each pier, so any future flooding of the area would not underline new piers .
