Albany Tree Farm Delivery Control Valve Station

 

Design and Construction of the Delivery Control Valve Station at the Water Corporation’s Albany Tree Farm.

The purpose of the Delivery Control Valve Station is to automatically direct the treated effluent pumped from the Albany WWTP to either of the tree farm’s two storage dams using 2 electrically actuated butterfly valves. A magnetic flowmeter determines the total volume delivered to each dam.

The design, fabrication, mechanical and electrical installation consisted of:

  • Design of pipework, concrete works, electrical and control system.
  • In-house fabrication of the DN400 MSCL pipe specials
  • Supply and installation of double flanged butterfly valves, magnetic flowmeter, air valves and other fittings.
  • Supply and installation of the electrical cubicle and equipment
  • Site welding, mechanical and electrical installation
  • Excavation for buried sections of pipework
  • Commissioning

Care had to be taken during site construction works, due to the proximity of overhead High Voltage powerlines. The installation was carried out using Watercon’s 4mt truck mounted crane, which was also used to transport all the pipework, valves and equipment to site.

The two DN400 MSCL interconnecting pipe specials between the above and below ground FRP (Hobas) pipe were installed during an 8 hour shutdown period.
