Recognising the need to take a more strategic approach to managing it’s road network, Hydro Tasmania has established a relationship-based contract that will see Stornoway taking responsibility for the management and maintenance of Hydro’s entire road network for up to five years.

Hydro are responsible for approximately 600 kilometres of road statewide, most of which is unsealed. As well as providing access to dams and power stations, the roads are widely used by tourists and the local community for recreational activities such as fishing and bushwalking.

The contract requires Stornoway to deliver a complete asset management package including asset inspection, road condition data analysis and risk assessment, works prioritisation and programming, as well as delivery of all required construction and maintenance works.

As a relationship-based contract, Stornoway and Hydro Tasmania worked jointly to develop the scope of works, maintenance methodology and form of contract required to ensure effective long term management of Hydro’s road network.

Stornoway Managing Director Tim Gardner said it’s a great opportunity to apply Stornoway’s extensive road maintenance experience in developing a program that fits Hydro’s road network.
“It’s not very often we get to combine our own expertise with that of the client to develop a model that is completely tailored to the roads in question”, Mr Gardner said. “Hydro have had no long term, network wide programme in place and had no preconceptions about how it should be done – they just wanted to ensure they achieve best value for money.”
Hydro Tasmania’s Manager Project Delivery, Andrew Hickman, said that this project is also about ensuring Hydro apply best practice in road network maintenance.
“Working with Stornoway is about ensuring we take a higher level view on our spending priorities to get a better longer term outcome”, Mr Hickman said. “Most importantly this will ensure we maintain our duty of care to both Hydro staff and the travelling public.”

Stornoway is Tasmania’s only locally owned provider of long term road network maintenance services and is currently contracted to maintain the State road network in north-west Tasmania.

The Stornoway AQEO treatment plants were selected by The Australian Defence Force following a recommendation by Kane Constructions and their specialist consultant firm after a thorough investigation of domestic and international companies to meet their unique technical and logistical requirements.

Stornoway Water also provided additional engineering design assistance to the client for the installation of above ground concrete tanks for the wastewater treatment plant’s process requirements. The concrete tank options provides a robust solution with a longer design life than traditional steel panel tanks or industrial grade polyethylene tanks normally installed with packaged treatment systems.

The AQEO Potable Water Treatment Plant was designed and supplied as a steel skid based system that was installed in a purpose built building at the base.

Stornoway supplied:

• AQEO 160kL/day Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane Water Treatment Plant for Potable Water to the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG)


• AQEO 130kL/day Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant that will produce Class ‘A’ recycled water to Australian EPA Guidelines.

The plants had to meet strict specifications including:

• Easily Transportable to Malaysia


• Low operating costs


• Factory tested prior to shipping and installation


• Third party accredited process design


• Easy to operate and maintain


• Proven design and performance

On-going Operations and Maintenance

In addition to the supply of the plants, Stornoway has been engaged to provide a minimum of two (2) years of Operations and Maintenance for the plants. This involved a thorough investigation by Stornoway of a number of suitably qualified local contractors.

Once selected the local contractor assisted Stornoway Technicians with installation and commissioning duties whilst participating in full training on the process design and operations and maintenance requirements for each of the plants. The local contractor will perform daily checks on the plants as per Stornoway procedures and carry our minor maintenance duties as required. Water sampling, co-ordination of laboratory analysis testing, replenishment of chemicals etc for each plant will also form part of their daily and weekly duties.

As part of the Operations and Maintenance contract, Stornoway Technicians from Australia will return to site every 3 months for a full plant service.

The former Industrial Sands and Silica site is now owned and managed through Stornoway Quarrying.

Located at Bakers Beach just outside Port Sorell, the site allows Stornoway Quarrying to offer a range of new products through the extraction and processing of high quality washed, dried and graded sands and decorative river stone (shingle).

The raw sand is extracted from a location in Birralea, Tasmania, and then processed for multiple applications including filter sand (pools, aquaculture and agriculture), building and construction (pipelaying, paving, concrete) as well blasting, sand pits, rendering and golf courses.

Due to the washing process the sand meets strict requirements of being silt and organic free leaving only the purist of pure sand. The product will be available in bulk one ton bags, by the truck and trailer and through selected garden and hardware retail outlets in 20kg bags.

The other new range the quarry will process is a selection of stone products sourced locally such as river stone which is extracted from old flood plains in Mersey Lea, northern Tasmania.

The Mersey Lea stone is available in grades from 5-10mm through to oversize 100mm and is washed to bring out the stunning natural hues of the stone. The colouring of the stone is rich deep chocolate, caramel and brown quartz which when wet provide an incredible sheen making this rock perfect for water features, concrete aggregate and landscaping purposes.

In addition to Mersey Lea, Stornoway Quarrying is also offering the Birralea range of stone which is a distinct white gold crushed stone that compacts extremely well for use in paths and driveways and is perfect for urban garden beds due to its fire retardant nature.

After the extraction of all resources, Stornoway takes particular care in replacing the mined area with the original top soil for ongoing farming use in the case of stone and rehabilitates the land with native vegetation planting for sand as part of its ongoing commitment to preserving the environment.

The acquisition of this site shows Stornoway Quarrying’s commitment to the region and investing in Tasmania to produce new and innovative products for the market.

The program aims to create a single pool of resources that supports Council’s delivery of its’ municipal works program, while giving Stornoway an enlarged pool of expertise and equipment to draw from in delivering its’ own contracts.

The agreement arose through discussions regarding the common resourcing challenges of both local government and the private sector – particularly difficulties in accessing skilled labour, underutilisation of equipment and seasonal workload variations.

According to Stornoway CEO Tim Gardner, the Agreement has had immediate benefit.

“Knowing that we can work in with Council to help deliver their works program has allowed us to employee and train up more people”, Mr Gardner said. “At the same time, we can quote work for other clients knowing we can draw upon Brighton’s capabilities and resources.”

Brighton Council General Manager, Ron Sanderson said the Agreement is about finding innovative approaches to managing resourcing levels through a time of change for local government.

“This model allows us to keep control of our maintenance works, while improving utilisation of experienced staff and specialist plant and equipment”, Mr Sanderson said.

The scope of the services in the mutual resourcing program include asset inspection and reporting, project supervision, maintenance works programming, routine maintenance works delivery, minor capital works delivery and emergency response requirements.

Successfully trialled in 2008, a new Agreement was formally put in place on the 1st July 2009.

The project will be staged over a 10 year period to ultimately accommodate 800 lots. The initial Sewage Treatment Plant will service 50 lots and has been designed to expand to accommodate 100 lots for a minimal additional capital cost outlay. The expansion capability was seen by the Developer as a major benefit to the project.

Stornoway Water worked closely with the client and their consultant to provide the optimal solution to suit the development’s forecasted expansion requirements in the first 2-3 years.

Stornoway designed and supplied a 50kL/day AQEO Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant that can be easily expanded to 100kl/day for a small percentage of the original capital cost of the plant.

The plant will service both the residential properties and the golf course clubhouse. The Class ‘A’ recycled water produced by the plant will be used for golf course and landscaped gardens irrigation.
