Projects

Challenge. Inspection. Solution. Outcome.

Every project follows the same intelligence-led method: understand the asset first, then engineer the fix. A selection of recent work across Australian water infrastructure.

  • Leak detection probe held against corroded pipework underwater to trace a loss path
  • Repair patches applied to a reservoir floor around a structure base

Asset condition / Leak repairs

Leak detection & repair

Challenge
Unexplained water loss.
Method
Inspection-camera survey with the asset in service.
Outcome
Loss path located and repaired without draining.
  • Close-up of a cleaned outlet screen mesh underwater
  • Cylindrical intake screen inside a reservoir being cleaned by divers

Reservoir maintenance

Reservoir screen cleaning

Challenge
Fouled intake screens restricting flow at a raw water dam.
Method
Diver cleaning in situ.
Outcome
Full flow restored, screens intact.
  • Corroded reservoir support posts with base plates attached, stacked outside the tank after removal
  • Corroded pipework sections removed from a reservoir and laid out on site

Underwater engineering

Reservoir post replacement

Challenge
Deteriorated roof-support posts.
Method
FRP post bases installed and secured by divers.
Outcome
Structure renewed with the reservoir in service.
Replacement Aquapost standing on its concrete base underwater inside a reservoir
Underwater engineering

Aquapost replacement

Challenge
Failed internal post.
Method
Broco underwater cutting and Nemo tooling for removal and reinstallation.
Outcome
Like-for-like structural replacement, no drawdown.
Installing bird proofing on a reservoir from an inflatable boat
Water quality / Security

Reservoir bird proofing

Challenge
Bird access contaminating stored water.
Method
Proofing installed from an inflatable boat inside the asset.
Outcome
Contamination path closed.
Renovated reservoir safety platform and entry area
Infrastructure upgrade

Platform renovation

Challenge
Unsealed platform and hatch, a primary contamination risk.
Method
Platform area redesigned, fabricated and installed.
Outcome
Safe access, sealed asset.
