The Kenya Water Treatment Plant is a new water treatment plant constructed as a part of the Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) project of QGC. The QCLNG project is the world’s first to convert natural gas from coal seams into liquefied natural gas and began exporting in 2014.

The water treatment plant is required for the purification process of the water that is drawn up as part coal seam gas extraction process.

BG&E was appointed as a sub consultant to Laing O’ Rourke’s in-house design office to assist in the structural design of several large reinforced concrete tanks that will house the various water treatment processes.

Services delivered by BG&E included

• Structural design of the primary precast water tank.
• Structural design and review of ancillary buildings.
• Developing sophisticated finite element models will allow for a detailed investigation of the various temperature, shrinkage, and loading conditions.
