The preferred proponent has been revealed to support the delivery of the 33.5-kilometre Alkimos to Wanneroo Desalination Pipeline Project in Western Australia.
Georgiou, with DM Drainage and Construction, have been announced as the preferred proponent to form an alliance with Water Corporation to deliver the project.
The scope of work to be delivered by the Alkimos Pipeline Alliance involves the design, construction and commissioning of the 1.6 metre-diameter, WA-manufactured, below ground water pipeline.
Once complete, the pipeline will transfer drinking water produced by the future Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant to Wanneroo Reservoir to be combined with Perth’s Integrated Water Supply Scheme.

With the first six kilometres of the pipeline already constructed in Alkimos, the Alliance will begin working on the remaining 27.5 kilometres in early 2025, with the project expected to be complete in late 2027.
The pipeline will be located mainly in road reserves and public areas. The final pipeline will be entirely belowground expect for a small section crossing the rail line near Alkimos Station and some discreet access valves installed at intervals along the pipeline.
Alkimos is a coastal suburb of Perth, located about 42 kilometres northwest of Perth’s CBD.
