A $10 million wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) development will form part of Lion’s upgrade of its cheese manufacturing site in Burnie, Tasmania.
Lion has been upgrading the Burnie site, called The Heritage, since 2011 and the redevelopment is expected to be completed later this year.
One of the final stages of the project will see existing buildings and associated infrastructure demolished and replaced by a new WWTP installed by global wastewater specialists, ADI Systems.
Engineering consultancy pitt&sherry says it has been awarded a contract to provide structural and mechanical design services to ADI Systems for the WWTP development.
The civil and structural design scope of works will include site landscaping and design of sealed surfaces, drainage design, fire emergency design, site perimeter containment design, and design of equipment and tank foundations, according to pitt&sherry. The mechanical design scope of works includes the WWTP’s pumps and pipes.
pitt&sherry initially provided civil and structural design expertise during ADI Systems' successful tender process for the WWTP development.
After firstly winning the civil and structural design contract for the project, pitt&sherry was then awarded the mechanical design element by ADI Systems.
Andrew Buckley, national leader, Food and Beverage at pitt&sherry said: “We intend to further develop this working relationship, which will hopefully open up more opportunities with ADI Systems in the wastewater sector in the future.”
The WWTP project contract with ADI Systems adds to pitt&sherry’s earlier involvement with Lion's redevelopment, when it was commissioned to provide all civil works and services, including project definition and all statutory approvals, design and documentation of the building and mechanical services, construction management and supervision, and contract administration.
