WATCH: New Melbourne sewer pipeline on track

The Yarra Valley Water (YVW) project involves the construction of a 9 km sewer pipeline between Donnybrook and Beveridge in Melbourne’s north.

On completion, the pipeline will incorporate up to 14 branch sewer connection points to service future developments and collect and transfer wastewater from the existing Wallan Sewage Treatment Plant.

 

JAYDO reported this week that the microtunnel boring machine has just completed the fifth of six drives, marking another significant milestone for the project.

The pipeline is being constructed along the western side of the Melbourne-Sydney railway line north of Minton Street, then crossing the railway line and hugging the eastern side of the rail line to its southern end in Donnybrook.

Construction is on track for completion later this year with the new sewer pipeline to be in operation shortly after.
