An 18-tonne cement roof has successfully been installed at Sydney Water’s new $37 million Liverpool Wastewater Pumping Station, a major milestone for the project’s construction.
Sydney water said that once completed the station will provide essential water and wastewater services to an additional 21,000 dwellings in the rapidly expanding Liverpool CBD.
Sydney Water’s General Manager Asset Lifecycle, Paul Plowman, said it’s a significant project that will eventually help service current and future growth.
“The rezoning of the Liverpool CBD has stimulated significant investment in the area, making it an attractive and affordable place to live and work,” Mr Plowman said.
“Liverpool will no doubt continue to grow as a major CBD, so it is important that we can provide essential water and wastewater services to cater to Sydney’s expanding south-west over the next 30 years.”
Sydney Water said the existing infrastructure could not support the scale of growth forecast, therefore driving the need for Sydney Water to deliver an additional wastewater Pump Station, as well as wastewater and drinking water pipelines in Liverpool’s CBD.
This project has created jobs for more than 400 workers who predominantly deliver infrastructure on site.
The Liverpool Wastewater Pumping Station is due to be completed in November 2023.
