Modernising wastewater infrastructure in a world heritage area
The island’s world heritage Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA), specifically the Emily Bay and Slaughter Bay areas, is being connected to a modern wastewater collection and disposal scheme to replace the current failing drainage infrastructure and eliminate pollutants entering the catchment.
Due to the sensitive environment and challenging topography, Aquatec developed a bespoke solution that combines Pressure Sewer Systems and Conventional Pump Stations.
With $7.1 million in funding from the Australian Government, once completed, the new sewerage system in the Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area will significantly improve wastewater management in Kingston, one of Australia’s most important heritage sites.
Aquatec collaborated with the client, Island Plumbing and Gas, and the project consultant, Fluent Solutions NZ, to design, deliver and commission a comprehensive pressure sewer scheme on Norfolk Island, located between Australia and New Zealand.
Innovative sewage system upgrades that deliver smart remote monitoring and robust infrastructure
All systems are equipped with OmniSmart 6000 controllers, featuring full remote communication capabilities. Our technical team supported the project by making multiple visits from Australia to the island, ensuring the equipment was installed correctly.
The project is being completed across three stages:
– Stage 1, the sewerage system collects, stores and transfers sewage from the golf club, bathing shed, and other buildings within the KAVHA area.
– Stage 2, four main sewer pump stations were designed and manufactured using heavy-duty fibreglass construction, which will be installed along Country Rd.
– Stage 3, The network was extended to service the Kingston Pier area, including Lone Pine, the Lion’s Club, Island Bay, and the Panorama Hotel.
"Aquatec was chosen to design and supply a pressure sewer system on Norfolk Island. With the system being installed within a World Heritage area and a large amount of goods to be shipped to the Island caused many challengers. Shipping goods to Norfolk Island is never easy, with the size of the pump stations and storage tank causing more problems. Aquatec managed to meet shipping deadlines and all goods were received undamaged. I would highly recommend Aquatec for any pressure sewer systems."
