Wastewater Treatment Works Upgrade.
Engineering, Construction of Switchboards, and Interface with existing plant and control systems.
The Burwood Beach Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) is Hunter Water"s largest wastewater treatment facility, treating an average daily flow of 44 million litres and servicing approximately 180,000 people (25% of Hunter Water customers).
Secondary treated effluent is discharged from the plant to the Pacific Ocean via a 1.5 km long ocean outfall. The Burwood Beach WWTW catchment extends from the Newcastle City area and suburbs to Dudley in the south, Wallsend in the west and Mayfield in the north. The current Burwood Beach WWTW was constructed in 1992 with a design capacity of 220,000 equivalent persons (EP).
The plant has recently undergone a major upgrade to improve the reliability of the existing process and ensure the plant can meet the current license conditions at its design capacity. Stage 2 construction began in September 2009 and has now been completed.
