With a focus on delivering complex trenchless solutions, Bothar Group leverages decades of experience, a robust safety culture, and an extensive fleet of specialised equipment.
Its ability to execute intricate projects in demanding environments has earned them a solid reputation as a trusted partner in subsurface engineering and infrastructure development.
A testament to Bothar’s capabilities is the company’s ongoing Kemps Creek Project in New South Wales. This dual pressure water main project is a remarkable example of Bothar’s commitment to excellence and innovation in challenging environments.
Utilising a Bothar-built Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine [EPB-TBM] with a DN1200 [1450mm OD] configuration, the project involves the construction of dual pressure water mains, each housed within DN1200 RCJP enveloper pipes. The project includes twin drives of 270m and 165m, demonstrating the precision and reliability of Bothar’s technology.
The Kemps Creek Project is particularly noteworthy for the complex, water-charged ground conditions it navigates, providing an ideal platform for Bothar to showcase its advanced trenchless technology and engineering expertise. The project traverses environmentally sensitive areas and zones with high traffic volumes, requiring meticulous planning and execution to minimise community impact.
Additionally, the longer twin drives necessitate the use of multiple interjacks, adding another layer of complexity that highlights Bothar’s ability to successfully navigate challenging projects.
Bothar’s extensive portfolio of subsurface engineering equipment is designed to meet the demands of every complex project. The company’s fleet includes Herrenknecht AVN Machines, Vermeer Laser Guided Vacuum Systems, Bothar-built EPB-TBMs, open face TBMs, auger boring machines [ABMs], pipe jacking capabilities, shaft construction, and direct pipe installation [DPI].
This diverse array of equipment enables Bothar to tailor its approach to each unique project, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.
Bothar’s work on the Kemps Creek Project is a prime example of its leadership in the trenchless solutions industry.
The company’s ability to deliver complex infrastructure projects with precision, while navigating challenging environments, helps reinforce the company as a go-to partner for large-scale engineering endeavours.
As it continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in subsurface engineering, Bothar remains committed to innovation, safety, and excellence in every project it undertakes.
