Project Overview

Remove and upgrade the existing compensation scour turbine pipework located within the turbine house at DAER reservoir.

Improve and increase flow control through the installation of new pipework and valves.

Ensure the new system integrates seamlessly with the existing infrastructure.

Works Detail

Integration with Existing Turbine Connections: The integration of new pipework with the existing turbine connections posed a significant challenge. This was resolved using advanced 3D modelling techniques, which allowed for precise planning and alignment, ensuring a seamless fit and optimal performance.

Environmental Impact: The project had to consider the local habitat of freshwater crawfish. This environmental concern was addressed and monitored by Nadarra Ecologists, who ensured that the construction activities did not adversely affect the crawfish population and their habitat.

Physical Environment: The physical environment of the project presented several challenges:

  • Confined Space: The turbine house’s limited space required careful planning and execution to ensure the safety and efficiency of the work.
  • Intricate Lifting Operations: The installation of heavy and large components necessitated intricate lifting operations, demanding meticulous coordination and specialized equipment.
  • Interface with Existing Infrastructure: The project had to interface with the existing infrastructure within the turbine house, requiring careful navigation and integration to avoid disrupting the current systems and operations.

These challenges were successfully managed through detailed planning, the use of advanced technology, and close collaboration with environmental experts.
