Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant- New Inlet Works

Overview Selwyn Water Limited is seeking a contractor to design and construct new inlet works at the Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant, as Stage 1 of the plant's planned expansion programme. About Selwyn District continues to see rapid growth in residential and commercial development, particularly in the urban centres of Rolleston, Lincoln, and Prebbleton. These communities are serviced by the Selwyn Sewerage Scheme (SSS), which comprises pumped conveyance to the Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for centralised treatment and disposal. The Pines WWTP operates as a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) plant, with treated effluent discharged to the surrounding land. The current plant is designed to treat in the order of 60,000 Population Equivalent (PE) flows and loads, a capacity limit that is fast approaching. To cater for this growth, the SSS and Pines WWTP are scheduled to undergo significant staged expansion over the next 10-year period, with the ultimate aim of increasing treatment and disposal capacity to 180,000 PE. Purpose Selwyn Water Limited has identified the replacement of the existing inlet works as an early and critical component of the overall upgrade programme. New inlet works are required to increase hydraulic and treatment capacity, and to provide a reliable and maintainable foundation for the broader plant expansion works that will follow. Scope The works are to be delivered under a Design and Build (D&B) delivery model, whereby the Contractor is responsible for the design, supply, construction, installation, and commissioning of the new inlet works and all associated works at the Pines WWTP. The scope includes, but is not limited to: Inlet works structure to receive and screen incoming wastewater flows, providing the primary treatment interface for the expanded plant capacity Site layout and grading Pipelines and services Foul water packaged pump station Roading and drainage Buildings and other civil structures Electrical and controls systems
