What’s happening?
We’re constructing a below-ground wastewater pipeline and upgrading an existing pump station in the City of Armadale to cater for population growth. The infrastructure will provide services to the Balannup sewer area which includes the suburbs of Piara Waters, Harrisdale and Southern River.
Where is this happening?
The pipeline will start at Collared Street pump station in Harrisdale and continue on Keane and Hanlin Road to Waterworks Road pump station in Haynes.
When is this happening?
Construction began in late March 2019 and will be completed in late 2019.
The work will be completed in stages and majority of work will be completed on weekdays between 7am and 5pm.
Our authorised contractor, Georgiou, will complete this work on our behalf.
How will this impact the community?
Pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle access to the Harrisdale Senior High School will be maintained at all times and we will endeavour to complete work during school holidays and weekends where possible.
This construction work will require a one-lane road closure in sections, and may result in some traffic congestion and delays. The crossing at Armadale Road and Tonkin Highway will use trenchless methods to minimise disruption to road users. We encourage drivers to plan ahead to seek alternative routes or allow for extra travel time.
Verge parking along the pipeline route may be temporarily unavailable, and pedestrian footpaths and access to a portion of Jim and Alma Baker Park may be restricted for short periods throughout construction for safety reasons. Temporary surfacing will be used to maintain access to any impacted driveways.
Our contractor, Georgiou, will be in contact with affected properties prior to construction including an offer for a dilapidation survey. We are committed to ensuring that any area impacted by our work, including home verges and driveways, will be returned as close to original condition as possible.
