Downer has partnered with Logan Council to harness the power of sun and salt in an Australian-first solution for managing drinking water quality in a remote location.
The $3 million water quality project at Round Mountain Reservoir in Logan, south-east Brisbane, combines solar power, commercial battery storage and electro-chlorination technologies to maintain water quality for residents, 24 hours a day.
This safe, sustainable, cost-effective solution was recognised as industry-leading innovation by winning a Queensland Engineering Excellence Award.
“We were only one of six awards given on the night - the competition for these awards is fierce.” General Manager – Water Services, Christian Truscott, says.
“We are now a finalist in the Australian Engineering Excellence Awards, which will be announced in September.”
The project has been delivered by the Logan Water Infrastructure Alliance (LoganWIA) - a public and private sector enterprise involving Downer, Logan Council, Cardno and WSP - which plans, designs and constructs water and wastewater infrastructure for the city.
