This latest contract means that Interflow is the only contractor to have continuously worked on the SRP program since its inception and continues the company’s lining works with Sydney Water, which commenced in 1991. This lining project, secured by Interflow’s central region, plus large diameter lining and coating projects secured by the company’s Man Entry division, plus the network civil works contract secured by the civil division, means that Interflow is now providing Sydney Water with services from all areas of its business.
The Sydney Water SRP contract for the rehabilitation of carrier lines (300 mm to 750 mm diameter) is particularly challenging, especially given the high flow rates of sewage that flow through these lines and the need to mitigate the associated environmental, safety and community related risks. Interflow is ideally placed to execute this work given its extensive experience and its choice of product. One of the great benefits Interflow offers in executing this work is that the pipelines do not generally need to be by-passed during lining. Another significant challenge associated with the carrier package in this contract is the need to seal the junction connections with a short form liner. Interflow has invested heavily in the development of its innovative Interfit product and is uniquely placed to offer a solution for sealing junctions in all carrier sizes.
The importance of this to Interflow is summarised by Managing Director Geoff Weaver. “Interflow’s long standing relationship with Sydney Water is highly valued. Throughout our relationship, Sydney Water has continually and proactively sought solutions to ever more challenging situations to which Interflow has always responded to. This has been beneficial to both parties and driven the industry forward in several areas.”
