Outcomes
BMD Constructions, as part of a joint venture with Downer, was engaged to complete the critical upgrade to increase capacity in line with population growth in the South West Sydney catchment area.
The project involves end to end delivery of all works from design to construction, process proving, commissioning, operation and maintenance. The upgrade is set to double the plant’s capacity, ensuring that population growth in the catchment is environmentally sustainable – both in volume and by producing high quality recycled water for agricultural and recreation use in the local area.
