Hobsons Bay main Yarra crossing duplication project
October 2 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm AEST
The Hobsons Bay Main Sewer (HBMS), constructed in the 1960s, transfers approximately 30 per cent of Melbourne’s wastewater to the Western Treatment Plan at Werribee.
The sewer alignment has a single sewer crossing under the Yarra River, which has deteriorated to a point where it requires rehabilitation and/or replacement. The Hobson Bay main Yarra crossing duplications project is the construction of a new sewer alongside the current HBMS to ensure there are no disruptions to the critical sewer network and will allow for the future uninterrupted rehabilitation of the existing crossing.
This presentation covers the design and construction of the new sewer; tunnelling and excavating shafts in difficult ground conditions, constructing shafts over the critical live sewers, completing the live connections and bringing the new sewer successfully into service.
