We take a look at one of Interflow’s most challenging projects since 2016, involving raw water discharge line relining.
The company shared a snippet of one of their “most challenging cured in-place pipe (CIPP) projects” from seven years ago. Interflow was then called on to reline a raw water discharge line that ran from Cochrane Dam in regional NSW.
The project team took on extreme heat, snow, and significant access challenges to get the job done.
The images from that project show the intake structure that lining crews had to enter to access the upstream end of the pipe.
One of the main challenges resided in the dam levels, which were high at the time, and the structure could only be accessed by boat.
Because the upstream end was so difficult to access, lining had to be performed from the downstream end.
A custom-built installation tower standing at 13.5m tall was needed to generate enough pressure to install the liner.
“Congratulations to our crews past and present who continually go above and beyond to help solve our customers’ problems,” shared the team.
