Davis Street Rising Main

PWS has successfully completed Stage 1 of the Davis Street Rising Main project for TasWater in Smithton. Stage 1 involved:

  • The installation of a temporary DN375 PN16 bypass
  • The realignment of pump station piping and valve controls, laying the groundwork for Stage 2 of the project.

Currently, Stage 2 works are underway, which include:

  • Installation of 800 meters of DN500 PN16 pipeline
  • 150 meters of horizontal directional drilling (HDD)
  • The incorporation of air and scour valves.

The execution of Stage 2 requires meticulous planning to ensure the integrity of the existing rising main and coordination with numerous active underground services. PWS will conduct live cut-ins as part of the ongoing project progression.
