The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Melbourne project is a critical initiative aimed at enhancing the water treatment and supply infrastructure in the greater Melbourne area. As one of Australia's largest urban centres, Melbourne relies heavily on its water resources to sustain its population, industries, and ecosystems.
The WTP project is designed to meet the growing demand for high-quality drinking water while ensuring the long-term sustainability of and resilience of the city's water supply systems.
The scope of work includes the construction of five combined bioreactor-clarifier tanks and associated feed, waste activated sludge and effluent discharge pipeline connections along with ancillary buildings, pump stations and commissioning services.
The proposed works will facilitate the elimination of current high-risk maintenance works and provide the opportunity to implement lower cost, more energy efficient treatment technology through the short cut nitrogen removal process.
