Major Milestone at Beach Street
Early 2024, a large drill rig arrived on site to support water service relocations as part of the Swan River crossing works. In August, the first pilot hole was successfully drilled to a depth of approximately 50m.
As reaming progressed to the final diameter, lengths of 630mm SDR7.4, PN25 PE100 Polyethylene pipe was welded together using a T900 fusion machine. The result: a pair of 550m pipeline strings constructed along Podger Lane, adjacent to the rail corridor, and onto Tydeman Road westbound — with traffic management implemented to support the works.
In October 2024, the first of the dual pipelines was pulled back under the Swan River, with the second installation completed later that year.
A huge effort from all involved to deliver this milestone safely and efficiently and a shout out to our crews travelling the country👏
