Client: Batemans Bay
Project Type: Government, Civil and Hydraulic Infrastructure Upgrade
Project Overview
Contemporary Plumbing delivered significant hydraulic and civil upgrades to the Batemans Bay BB39 and BB34 sewer pump stations, strengthening essential wastewater infrastructure for the region. The project required specialised excavation techniques, large‑scale drainage installations, and careful coordination to maintain sewer services throughout the works.
The site’s proximity to water necessitated the use of spear jets for excavation. Working closely with the client and local authorities, Contemporary Plumbing’s expert team of Canberra plumbers successfully resolved challenges related to maintaining sewer services during the wet well upgrades.
Project Outcome
The upgrades to BB39 and BB34 were completed efficiently and to a high standard, delivering improved capacity, reliability, and environmental resilience for Batemans Bay’s sewer network. Contemporary Plumbing’s expertise in complex hydraulic and civil works ensured that all challenges were resolved collaboratively and safely, reinforcing their reputation as trusted specialists in major infrastructure projects.
The upgrade works involved extensive modifications, including:
- Excavating and installing two new 30,000‑litre emergency overflow tanks to increase system resilience during peak flows or unexpected events.
- Laying large‑diameter, concrete‑reinforced drainage lines designed for long‑term durability and high‑volume wastewater management.
- Completing detailed civil works, including ground preparation, trenching, and reinstatement.
This project stands as another example of Contemporary Plumbing’s capability in delivering technically demanding civil and hydraulic upgrades across regional NSW and the ACT.
