The Momentum consortium will be responsible for a significant proportion of Sydney Water’s planned capital works program, including replacing pipes in areas that have a history of leaks and breaks in order to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the water network. The consortium will be involved in all aspects of design and program management, including planning, design, construction and contract management.
