To support future
growth in the Bannockburn area, the current water supply pipeline requires
increased capacity. A new watermain has been designed to address this need,
extending from the northern side of the Bannockburn Bridge to the existing
reservoir site on Hall Road.
In addition to the
new pipeline, a second water reservoir will be constructed at the Hall Road
site. The new 500m³ bolted steel tank will operate in parallel with the
existing concrete reservoir, maintaining the same maximum and minimum operating
levels to ensure consistent water supply and system efficiency.
The project has been
divided into two separate contracts and awarded to the following:
- Water Main Capacity
Upgrade:
A new, larger capacity water main will be installed from the
northern side of the Bannockburn Bridge to the Hall Road reservoir site.
Construction Update: Excavations began mid-February. This work involves the installation of new pipework from the intersection of Bannockburn Road and Hall Road, progressing up Hall Road towards the reservoir site. Works along Hall Road are now completed.
Works will start at the Felton Road / Bannockburn Road intersection and progress toward Hall Road from 20 May. This stage is expected to take approximately 3–4 weeks.
Residents are advised that pipeline installation work has now begun as part of the Bannockburn Pipeline Project.
Access to properties will be maintained where possible, however brief delays may occur. Please follow directions from onsite traffic management staff and allow extra travel time.
- Reservoir Expansion: A
new 500m3 bolted steel reservoir will be constructed at the Hall Road
site. This will operate alongside the existing reservoir, doubling storage
capacity and improving system efficiency.
- Contractor: Reliant
