DORIC ENGINEERING SECURES FIRST WATER PROJECT
Perth based Construction & Engineering Contractor, DORIC, was recently awarded a $3 million contract by the Water Corporation to increase pump performance at the Tamworth Hill Pump Station in Baldivis, Western Australia.
Group Chief Executive Officer, Peter Iancov said, "This is an exciting opportunity for DORIC as we continue to expand our business into the engineering construction sector. We look forward to demonstrating our capability, commitment and delivery model but also building and strengthening our relationship with Water Corporation by delivering a successful project".
Due to increased flows from water sources south of Perth, including the future Southern Seawater Desalination Plant, the existing pump station is to be upgraded to increase its performance and improve its reliability. This brownfield project involves installation of new larger capacity pump impellors, motors, drives and transformers, modifications to existing buildings and construction of a new High Voltage switch room to house electrical components.
Project challenges include short timeframe, multidisciplinary brownfield works, and no interruption to normal operations of the pump station which can only be taken offline for a short period to allow commissioning of the new works. The project is surrounded by a Bush Forever site and DORIC's aim will be to minimize environmental disturbance to existing vegetation.
On site work is expected to commence in December 2009 and be completed by June 2010.
