Ferrycarrig was engaged to deliver two work packages as part of Sydney Water’s North Head Biosolids Treatment Plant Upgrade in Manly.

The North Head Biosolids project presented a significant scope, including the installation of numerous large foundations and footings for new structures within an active treatment plant site.

The project involved augmenting and relocating existing services, as well as designing new routes for utilities around the site to facilitate construction and power / amplify the new assets being constructed. Ferrycarrig was engaged to deliver two packages as part of the treatment plant upgrade in Manly.

Ferrycarrig’s scope included, but was not limited to, service search & relocation, FRP of slabs, footings, pits, and other concrete structures, demolition works, detailed excavation works, retaining wall works, drainage installation, crane pad installation, kerb installation and asphalt work.

The primary challenge was working safely within a confined area of an operational treatment plant while meeting stringent project deadlines. The required measures were taken to minimize excavation impacts on nearby roads crucial for biosolids truck movements, ensuring uninterrupted plant operations. Proactive coordination was pivotal in managing construction interfaces with the treatment plant, meticulously scheduling activities to avoid disrupting Sydney Water operations.

Ferrycarrig also ensured that no heavy truck movements were programmed during school pick-up and drop-off times to limit the impacts on the local Manly community.
