In partnership with City of Sydney Council, we’ve started to build a large 2km underground stormwater drain from Epsom Road, Zetland to the existing stormwater system at Alexandra Canal, Alexandria.
This work is part of the plan to provide stormwater services to accommodate growth and development in the Green Square area.
It’s a key part of our commitment to urban renewal and our Liveable Cities strategy.
The new storm water drain will significantly reduce flooding in and around the Green Square Town Centre during torrential rain -particularly at Joynton Avenue and on Botany Road.
Armourcon was contracted on this project working night and day in order to meet the demanding project restraints and in order toinstall the 6m deep,750mm trunk water main and associated civil works.
The excavation works for the new Sydney Water assets has been very challenging with existing utilities,redundanttram track infrastructure,tree roots and sandstone.
Many of the unknown cable and pipes discovered are not shown on any Dial Before You Dig plans, but the same positive identification excavation permit process is followed to prevent incident.
