Platt Street Water Main Remediation

We recently upgraded the water main that runs under Platt Street in Waratah, between the Calvary Mater Newcastle and Ada Street. This work will help ensure efficient performance of the water network in this area for years to come.

About the work

Work involved replacing around 100m of water main near the side entrance to the Calvary Mater Newcastle. The remainder of the water main on Platt Street, to Ada Street, was relined. Relining allowed us to remediate the water main without excavating the entire 400m length. The liner was assembled offsite and pulled into the existing water main through a pit near the side entry to the Calvary Mater Newcastle (launch pit) and pulled through to a pit at the intersection of Ada Street (receival pit).

Major work is now complete, with minor finishing works near Ada Street scheduled in the coming weeks.
