⚒️ Milestone Achievements – Castle Hill Water Resource Recovery Facility Compliance project ⚒️ We're excited to share an update on the significant progress made on the Castle Hill Water Resource Recovery Facility Compliance project for Sydney Water. The team has completed the concrete structures for both the inlet works and the anoxic tank, with hydrostatic testing passing without issue. Demolition of the redundant lime facility is complete to make way for the new sucrose chemical storage and dosing facility. The first of 4 bioreactors has been dewatered for retrofitting with a mixed liquor return system and the rehabilitation of the 50-year-old tanks. Construction continues on the HV and LV switchrooms and underground yard pipework, including 145m of DN900 GRP bypass pipeline, micro-tunnelling of effluent discharge pipework, a 62m extension of the Glenhaven Carrier to the new inlet works (DN750 GRP), and threading multiple process pipework through existing live services. Congratulations to everyone involved in these impressive achievements on this complex infrastructure project. We look forward to sharing an update on our progress in the new year as we undertake the mechanical fit-out of the inlet structure and Anoxic Tank and continued work on the underground pipework and structures. #utilitiesinfrastructure #waterrecyclingplant #buildingbettercommunities #bestplanning #CastleHill #SydneyWater #Abergeldie

Congratulations to everyone involved in the successful completion of the T-Way Stages 1 and 2 Cycleway project at Constitution Hill, a project co-funded by City of Parramatta and Transport for NSW which provides the community with safer active transport options. In just 12 months, the team delivered a 3-span Super T bridge over Toongabbie Creek, with 25m approach ramps on either side. The project also included the installation of 2 raised FRP boardwalks, handrails, new street lighting, shared pathways and an 800m-long cycleway along Ferndale Close. The team expertly navigated several challenges along the way, including the tight access and proximity to an Aboriginal heritage zone and heritage-listed trees. They also engaged the local community to minimise neighbouring properties. The innovative use of pre-cast kerb units, designed with hidden wedge shapes were used as a habitat for microbats. Well done to all involved! #cycleway #bridges #boardwalks #bestpeople #bestplanning #bestdelivery #buildingbettercommunities #CityofParramatta #TfNSW #Abergeldie

Over the weekend, our Dubbo team participated in the Dubbo Toy Run for the second consecutive year, an event organised by The Salvation Army Australia and Nick Smith. Thanks to the generosity of our team, subcontractors and suppliers, a collection of toys was delivered to help brighten Christmas for local families. The rain held off, and the event saw a fantastic turnout as participants drove through the heart of town, spreading holiday cheer. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed. Meanwhile, our teams across offices and sites are proudly supporting The Smith Family Giving Tree initiative, raising funds and awareness to help the 1 in 6 Australian children living in poverty. This support provides the school essentials they need to succeed and break the cycle of disadvantage. So far, we have raised over $1,600. If you’d like to contribute, you can do so here. https://bit.ly/4imdbYB #Christmas #bestpeople #buildingbettercommunities #Abergeldie

Today, the Ghella Abergeldie Joint Venture (GAJV) celebrated Santa Barbara, the patron saint of tunnellers and miners. At each of the 18 shafts on the Central Interceptor project, a small statue of Santa Barbara is placed at the entrance, offering protection and guidance to those working in the tunnels and ensuring their safety throughout construction.

The Ghella Abergeldie Joint Venture (GAJV) recently held a dawn blessing at their newest site in Point Erin Park, Herne Bay, ahead of excavation works. This blessing acknowledged the disruption to the earth and honoured the people working below. Led by mana whenua, the ceremony recognised the cultural significance of Te Ōka - Point Erin to the local iwi. It was a meaningful moment for the team, coming together to respect the land, its history, and the communities connected to it. We are so grateful to be part of this joint venture, delivering New Zealand’s largest wastewater tunnel project for the community. #CentralInterceptor #buildingbettercommunities #Watercare #GAJV #Abergeldie
