Leighton Contractors – Goonyella Rail Link Project

Queensland Rail (QR) engaged the CoalConnect project alliance agreement – an alliance comprising QR, Leighton Contractors, GHD and KBR. Together, these partners will undertake the civil works of the Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project, including the Northern Missing Link and the Buckley to Newlands Upgrade. This is a $1 billion expansion of the export coal rail network – the biggest rail project in Queensland in three decades.

Stornoway Water were enagaged by ATCO Structures to supply Leighton Contractors a Sewage Treatment Plant and Water Treatment Plant for the initial construction crew of 250, with plans to expand to expand to 400 persons in the first quarter of 2009.

Challenge

ATCO Structures required transportable package treatment plants to facilitate the 250 person camp that they were contracted to provide to Leighton Contractors.

A potable water supply to Australian Drinking Water Guidelines was required for the camp using source water from the Eungella pipeline and a sewage treatment plant was required to produce Class ‘A’ recycled water to Queensland EPA Guidelines for re-use as dust suppression and irrigation.

Solution

Stornoway Water supplied packaged AQEO water and wastewater treatment plants capable of meeting the potable and recycled water requirements with the capability for the plants to be easily transported to future construction camp locations.
