Project Details
This project involved the construction of a 30 mega litre post-tensioned concrete reservoir to service the Gold Coast Desalination Plant mixing and storage requirements as an essential part of the South East Queensland water grid.
Now that the reservoir is in full operation, it is apparent that there are absolutely no leaks, which is testament to the strict quality control and workmanship that was undertaken on the project.
Achieving the required program for this project was of paramount importance as this reservoir was a key component of the South East Queensland water grid roll out. Therefore the contract period of 32 weeks was not to be extended as a result of inclement weather. Through thorough planning and strict control of all activities on site, Alder were able to complete the project 4 weeks ahead of schedule, despite losing 2 weeks due to inclement weather.
