This project comprised the design and construction of a new water treatment building and processing equipment on the Harding River Dam, 30 kilometres east of Karratha.

BG&E provided civil and structural engineering design services and construction assistance for the new facility.

The scope included

• Shop drawing reviews.
• Responding to contractor’s queries through RFI Register.
• Site attendance.
• Confirmation of design intent.

The works included bulk earthworks and drainage on a moisture reactive site, process buildings, treatment structures, administration and workshops.

The structures included the clear water tank, the flocculator tank, the clarifier tank, the chemical storage building and the water treatment building. The design included tilt-up concrete walling in a remote, cyclone prone location.

Completed in 2003, this project enables the provision of potable water to the towns of Dampier, Karratha, Cape Lambert, Point Samson, Roeburn and the neighbouring regions.
