Project Win - Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline
“Bothar is committed to leveraging our extensive experience and innovative technologies to support the growth and sustainability of communities through the FGP, ensuring a legacy of safe delivery and environmental harmony.”
OVERVIEW
Bothar Boring and Tunnelling (Bothar) successfully commenced work on the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline (FGP) earlier this year at Gavial Creek and Bruce Highway.
Bothar is now proud to announce the award of further significant contracts as part of its ongoing collaboration with the McConnell Dowell BMD Joint Venture (MBJV).
These additional packages include 18 specialist shafts as well as nine trenchless crossings consisting of AVN1200 micro tunneling, Auger Boring, and ‘Bothar Built’ EPB-TBM methodologies.
The ‘Bothar Built’ EPB-TBMs, Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines designed and built in-house, will be pivotal in executing these works. Bothar’s innovative approach and technical expertise in tunnel and shaft construction have been crucial factors in the expansion of their role in the FGP.
The FGP will connect to Gladestone Area Water Boards (GAWB) existing network in Yarwun, and includes construction of a water treatment plant, reservoirs, and pumping stations along its 117km length. This infrastructure will enable long-term water security for GAWB’s customers and for future developments in the region’s renewable industries.
“We look forward to continuing our working relationship with McConnell Dowell BMD Joint Venture to be part of the safe delivery of the FGP.” David King, Bothar’s General Manager.
