[WATER OUR FOCUS]

Mackay Park Sewer Augmentation Works

Delivering new sewer and water infrastructure to support future civic development in Batemans Bay.
Eurobodalla Shire Council
Batemans Bay, New South Wales

Sewer Pump Station + Network Infrastructure

[Project Background]

Infrastructure Expansion for a New Residential Community

Eurobodalla Shire Council initiated new water and wastewater infrastructure works to support future development within the Mackay Park precinct, including the construction of the Batemans Bay Exhibition Centre.

The project involved the installation of new gravity sewer pipelines, construction of a sewer pump station, and associated rising main infrastructure to transfer wastewater to the downstream treatment network.

[Scope Of Works]
Operating in Sensitive and Live environments

Design and construction of sewer and water infrastructure supporting future community development in Batemans Bay.

Construction of a new sewer pump station and associated valve chamber infrastructure
Installation of gravity sewer mains, rising mains, and trunk water infrastructure
Mechanical, electrical, and SCADA system installation and integration
Testing and commissioning of sewer and water network assets

[Outcome / Key Features]
Integrated Pump Station and Sewer Network Delivery
Outcome
  • Construction of a 3.2m diameter sewer pump station wet well
  • Installation of 750m gravity sewer mains (DN150–DN300) and associated DN1050 manholes
  • Installation of 1km HDPE OD225 sewer rising main transferring flows to downstream network
  • Installation of 800m DN450 ductile iron trunk water main upgrading existing infrastructure
  • Full mechanical, electrical, SCADA and odour control systems integrated within the new pump station
Key Features
  • 8m deep excavation in water-charged sandy ground for pump station wet well construction
  • Sheet-piled excavation supported by engineered bracing systems
  • Continuous 24/7 groundwater dewatering operations during construction
  • Micro-tunnel connection from upstream sewer network into the wet well
  • Horizontal directional drilling used to install pipelines across constrained corridors
  • Construction sequencing coordinated alongside Bateman’s Bay Exhibition Centre development
  • Laser-guided boring implemented to safely cross newly installed underground services
[Environmental Responsibility]
Managing groundwater and excavation impacts during construction
Construction works were undertaken within water-charged sandy ground conditions requiring continuous groundwater management. Controlled dewatering systems and excavation support measures ensured safe construction while protecting surrounding infrastructure and minimising environmental impact.
