ARC Projects

Pump Station 133 – ARC Projects Ltd Pump Station 133 was constructed as part of Burwood North WW rebuild, The Structure consisted of a 5.3m deep concrete wet well, valve chamber and flow meter. This work was done offline whilst the entirely new WW system was built in and around the site. Pump station 133 was delivered by ARC within the original programme and on budget, costing just over $600,000. ARC also efficiently co-ordinated with their subcontractors which included the electrical contractor to ensure they were on site and providing the installation and testing required on time without causing any delay or interference. When manufacturers, suppliers and design changes caused potential delays, ARC did their best, always succeeding, to rearrange their programme and rethink construction methods of other tasks to prevent them being held up and affecting the overall programme. This great working relationship between the engineers and the on-site ARC team meant that the handover and commissioning was done as efficiently as possible. Overall ARC were a very easy contractor to work with and went beyond expectations in solving design issues, dealing with environmental requirements, and their communication throughout the whole project with a variety of people was exceptional. This quality of work meant we continued to provide continuity of work to ARC and they went on to build two more pump stations and four Lift stations as well as pump station repair across the Burwood rebuild. All of which were built to the same high standard. Daniel Fryer Project Engineer Burwood North, East and West Downer NZ Earthquake Team
