South Para Bridge’s Utility Innovation
South Para Bridge’s integration into Gawler East Link Road enhances community connectivity and access, fostering sustainable growth and resilience.
Project Overview
As part of the broader Gawler East Link Road initiative, Diona was tasked with the essential installation of water and sewer services across a new bridge over the South Para River in Gawler, further enhancing the infrastructure network facilitated by Bardavcol‘s construction efforts. This project included the strategic placement of water and sewer pipes across the bridge, ensuring seamless utility service continuity for the area.
Project Need
Development of the Gawler East Link Road necessitated the extension of critical utility services, including water and sewer lines, to support growing residential areas and infrastructure demands. The installation of these services across the South Para River bridge was crucial for providing uninterrupted water and sewer services to the newly connected regions, underpinning the area’s growth and sustainability.
Project Solution
In collaboration with Reimann’s Manufacturing and Richmond Rollers, Diona developed and executed an innovative installation method for the water and sewer pipes. The process involved the use of industrial plastic rollers for initial placement, followed by welding and the precise positioning of the pipes across the bridge’s span. This approach, marked by the use of MSCL (Mild Steel Cement Lined) pipes for both water and sewer services, was complemented by rigorous testing to ensure the integrity and reliability of the installation. The project’s success was underscored by meticulous planning, coordination, and the implementation of custom-engineered solutions to meet its unique challenges.
