Stainless Steel Pipework for Port Hinchinbrook Sewage Treatment Plant

Overview

The Port Hinchinbrook Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), located south of Cardwell, is designed to initially service 500EP, with provisions for future upgrades to support a 1500EP capacity. This project involves the design, construction, testing, and commissioning of a new two-train Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) plant. Pructon was engaged to supply and fabricate stainless steel pipework and fittings, ensuring compliance with stringent technical specifications. All fabrication was completed at our Gladstone Workshop, with final delivery to the site.

Scope of Work

• Fabrication of Pipework: Manufactured over 280 linear metres (Lm) of stainless steel ERW SCH10 seamed pipework.
• Material Supply: Supplied all stainless steel pipes, fittings, bolts, gaskets, and washers required for the project.
• Shop QA and NDT: Conducted 100% Visual Inspection (VI) and 10% Radiographic Testing (RT) for quality assurance.
• Weld Passivation: Treated all welds to ensure long-term corrosion resistance and compliance with project standards.
• Delivery to Site: Ensured on-time delivery of all fabricated components to the Port Hinchinbrook STP site.
• Standards Compliance: Adhered to FNQROC Development Manual, WSAA specifications, and other technical requirements outlined in project documentation.

Outcomes and Benefits

• High-Quality Fabrication: Delivered pipework and fittings meeting strict Australian and international standards for durability and performance.
• On-Time Delivery: Ensured the timely delivery of materials and components, meeting client expectations and project schedules.
