To minimise disruption to the community, the new bypass and valve chamber were prefabricated off-site, reducing construction time to eight weeks. Dewatering pumps and tanks were also used to safely manage groundwater during construction.
The upgrade included:
- Constructing a new switchboard building to house new electrical components.
- Installing a larger inlet pipe to improve the pump station's hydraulic capacity.
- Constructing a new bypass connection point to the existing rising main.
- Relining the maintenance hole to accommodate the new valve chamber and provide a durable internal surface.
- Replacing corroded pipes within the pump well.
