Event Synopsis
The Quinns Main Sewer Extension & Associated Works recently earned the 2024 CCF WA Earth Award for projects valued between $30-75 million.
This design and construct initiative included 1.8 kilometers of tunneling, featuring a particularly challenging 500-meter curved drive beneath both a freeway and a railway. The project also involved shafts reaching depths of up to 27 meters and the integration of two vortex structures, showcasing exceptional engineering precision.
Effective stakeholder management was essential, requiring coordination with schools, residents, and multiple government bodies to minimize impact and foster positive community relations.
Prioritizing safety and environmental stewardship, the project consistently managed risks for the team, the public, and the national park.
