Bombo Waste Water Treatment Plant Fencing

This project involved the replacement of the peripheral fencing at the Bombo Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), installing over 800m of Aluminium Palisade Fencing, with over 100m of the fencing adjacent to the rail corridor.

As a fully operational site and part of the critical infrastructure in the area, Gartner Rose needed to maintain security of the site at all times. The perimeter of the site interacts with the general public and is in constant use, which resulted in the requirement for a full community interaction plan and complex pedestrian management.

Situated on the Bombo headland and listed as a heritage item of state significance, the site was in an extremely environmentally sensitive area and all works needed to take protection of the environment into consideration. Much of the fencing was undertaken on the edge of a 50m cliff and involved harnesses and full working at heights protection.

Another section of the fencing was undertaken in very close proximity to live services, both high pressure gas and fibre optic communications, which required excavation to be undertaken by non-destructive methods.
