Waterproofing the West – Stage 1 Project

BluBuilt was engaged to undertake all civil, pipework and concrete works for Stage 1 of the Waterproofing the West Project.

This involved construction of a system of wetlands, pumping stations and aquifer storage and retrieval (ASR) bore fields within the City of Charles Sturt (CCS) precinct. The system is designed to harvest, store and treat stormwater for subsequent distribution and reuse as a non-potable, recycled water resource for western Adelaide.

BluBuilt work for this project was carried out at 5 different locations.
