Urban Water Solutions was engaged by the John Holland – KBR Joint Venture to provide hydraulic analysis for sewer flow management associated with a project to renew Melbourne Water’s Epsom Road Main Sewer. The sewer, which was originally constructed over 100 years ago, provides an essential link between major sewers in Melbourne’s sewerage network. This renewal required the installation of over 3.5km of pipes and associated pump systems for sewage bypass at 12 locations for flow rates of up to 550 l/s.

WaterAid’s mission is to reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene within a generation. Since 1981, WaterAid has reached over 27 million people with clean water and decent toilets (WaterAid, 2019). This vision inspires us, and we hope it inspires you too.
UWS is pleased to donate to WaterAid and support its efforts to provide safe sanitation and potable water to those in need.
Combined with Water4Good we have collectively raised over $3,500, smashing our target of $2,000.

UWS has migrated to a paperless office. All new project documents are stored digitally. Older projects still had physical project folders that required storage for 7 years. As these projects are archived the hard copy documents are securely destroyed. As a result UWS had approximately 50 lever-arch folders that were available for reuse.
The availability of the folders was advertised and UWS was delighted to find interest at Swinburne University who collected all our empty lever-arch folders.
This has saved these folders from being recycled by being reused by students. UWS wishes the Swinburne University students every success with their studies.
The Urban Water Solutions team wishes everyone a safe and restful holiday.
The office will be closed from close of business 23rd December 2022, reopening on the 9th January 2023.
