Icon Water Mech Works

The ICON Water Alliance was the second stage in a ten-year program of works. The program of works included numerous projects all upgrades based on the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) site. This program of upgrades on ageing infrastructure along the entire process train from inlet to outlet incorporates design, procurement, construction, commissioning and process proving of multiple projects.

The second stage of the program had a total value of $150M.

ICON Water and Downer Utilities partnered to deliver the ICON Water Alliance. Downer engaged Tallai Project Group with the responsibility to complete mechanical works for the new screenings equipment -  this work involved the installation of free issued materials and equipment to complete the upgrade works to the inlet screenings and handling equipment.

The work involved lifting operations, working at heights, confined space working, welding and fabrication. The scope of these works included:

• Fabrication of pipe supports
• Fabrication of Stainless Steel Pipework
• Decommissioning and relocation of exiting pumps
• Installation of Macerators
