Project Requirement

The subcontractor to the project for water clarification on site was Gradiant Australia (CRS Water). They approached the Team at Enmach enquiring if the 35kl cone bottom water clarification Poly Silos would be suitable to settle and clarify run off drilling water from the underground drilling machines being used in the tunneling project.

Solution Provided

The team from Enmach worked with CRS Designers to design and custom fit inflow, outflow and clean water take off pipe work into Enmachs PSL-35 liquid silo. Enmach delivered six of their 35kl cone bottom water clarification Poly Silos into the WestConnex tunnel project in Sydney N.S.W. The first delivery was into the Albert St, Saint Peters tunnel entry for the M4 – M5 main link tunnel head works site.
