The forum was an opportunity to share knowledge and education among engineers, operators, contractors and manufacturers within the region.
The forum featured three presentations:
- Amaroo Sewer Main Project: Cameron Woodgate of John Holland co-presented with Robert Fittock of Yarra Valley Water on the construction of the 7.8 km Amaroo Main Sewer.
- The Waverley Street water main renewal: Andrew Edwards of City West Water presented on the renewal of 3.2 km of a 600 mm riveted main through Essendon and Moonee Ponds through sliplining.
- Melbourne Water’s Northwest Sewer Rehabilitation: David Dodemaide of Interflow presented on the rehabilitation of a large diameter section of Melbourne Water’s Northwest Sewer at Moonee Ponds.
The forum was attended by representatives from Melbourne Water, City West Water, Yarra Valley Water, Westernport Water, Wannon Water, as well as engineering and design firms, contractors, and manufacturers.
The forum concluded with canapes, drinks and the opportunity to network. The forum was made possible by the generous sponsorship of Ditch Witch and The Drain Man.
