A joint venture consisting of Jacobs and Seymour Whyte has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) services contract from Sydney Water, for works on the Upper South Creek Networks Program in Western Sydney.
The program will use an integrated delivery model to plan, procure, design, build and deliver resilient, affordable and sustainable wastewater services. It will ensure Sydney Water can continue to provide safe, reliable and affordable services to customers as the region continues to grow.
The Upper South Creek Networks Program is made up of five wastewater infrastructure projects across Thompsons Creek, South Creek, Badgerys Creek, Cosgroves Creek and Agribusiness and Lowes Creek.
Under the contract, the Jacobs Seymour Whyte Joint Venture will be responsible for delivering EPCM services, which include comprehensive program management, design, system planning, procurement, and integration throughout the project’s various phases.
The program will be delivered progressively across five project areas over a 12-year period. It’s projected that the program will deliver over 96 kilometres of wastewater pipelines, nine pumping stations, as well as supporting infrastructure like ventilation and maintenance holes/access.
The first stage of works will get underway before the end of the year, which will include the design and construction of new wastewater pumping stations and, gravity carriers.
