| A
new $12.2 million water treatment plant was recently constructed
in Mildura. The first stage of the project allowed for
the processing of 20 megalitres of water a day, which
supplies up to 10,000 people.
Ultimately the total capacity will be
80,000Ml after a further three sections of the project
are completed. The plant was constructed to remove high
levels of blue green algae toxins from water taken from
the Murray River.
RMD Australia supported the project
by supplying Reflex formwork to construct the circular
PAC contact tank and wash water tank. The main reason
Reflex was used on this project is because Reflex makes
the construction of curved concrete walls easy due to
it being a pre-assembled panel that is easily adjusted
to suit the dimensions of just about any curved wall.
Conventional formwork consisting of
plywood, Super Slim Soldiers and Alform Beam was used
to construct the filter, clarifier and floculator tanks. |
