2023/24 Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Program
As a part of Council’s 2023/24 sewerage capital works program and commitment to ensure the long-term sustainability and efficiency of our sewerage infrastructure,
Council is undertaking a sewer manhole relining program in the Kingaroy, Nanango, Murgon and Wondai sewer networks over the next two (2) months. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Services (IRS) Pty Ltd was awarded the contract for these works.
The sewer manhole rehabilitation program will extend the life of existing sewerage infrastructure via the installation of cementitious coatings to the internal face of the manholes. The program will involve the use of high pressure cleaning, robotics to inspect the sewers and manual application of coatings within the manholes. This work is complementary to the previous pipe re-lining installation using a PVC liner and restores the network to a near new condition.
The project has commenced and is expected to be completed in June 2024. Further notifications to affected customers will be provided when works are occurring in their area. Access to manholes on some customer properties will be necessary, with contractors undertaking works whilst being assisted by Council staff.
Completion of works is scheduled for late June 2024 based on the contractor production rate for manhole rehabilitation works, weather permitting. The completion date will however be dependent on network conditions which can only be confirmed once works begin.
Council apologises for any inconvenience that this work may cause and thanks you in advance for your patience.
