Fire Water, Drainage & HV Power Upgrade

The Fire Water, Drainage & HV Power Upgrade Project was undertaken to improve critical site-wide infrastructure, with a primary focus on upgrading the fire water system in accordance with relevant Australian Standards. The project aimed to enhance site safety, compliance, and long-term operational reliability.

Works included the installation of upgraded fire water infrastructure, site-wide drainage and de-watering improvements to address water management issues, and a high-voltage power upgrade. The drainage works significantly improved the site’s ability to manage surface and groundwater, while the HV power upgrade provided a reliable power supply to a new underground pump station.

The successful completion of this project has strengthened site resilience, improved safety and compliance, and delivered robust infrastructure capable of supporting ongoing and future operations.
