For SA Water, laying pipes is core business. Pipe relay works are constantly being undertaken around Adelaide in suburban streets. As part of the North South Interconnection System Project, new pipe works are proposed at:
Construction Works – Information for Residents
Approximately 25-30 metres of pipe is laid per day. On this basis, if a pipe is to pass your house, excavators and earth moving equipment will likely be in front of your house for no more than one to two days, with reinstatement following as soon as possible after pipe laying is complete.
We will work with all residents who may be impacted by these works to ensure they are able to access their properties. This may in some instances require temporary access arrangements or temporary car-parking arrangements. Our construction crews are used to working with residents throughout the course of construction to ensure on-site impacts are well managed.
No homes will be required for this project and there are no plans for compulsory acquisition. The majority of pipe work will be laid within roadways or through existing open space areas, subject to necessary local approvals.
