23 Australia’s biggest When a regional water authority tendered a contract to build Australia’s biggest pressurised water pipeline, little did they realise they’d get a contractor who could not only do the job, but fast track it cutting more than seven years from the initial construction estimation. Combining the experience of a staff of highly skilled pipeline project managers, engineers, surveyors and designers, and Mitchell Water’s fleet of specialised equipment fitted with GPS machine control technology ensures contracts are delivered with speed and grade precision. Welcome to Australia’s biggest pipeline construction contract, the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project. Designed and constructed by Mitchell Water. Letting Mitchell Water construct the Wimmera Mallee project shaved years off the construction time, saved millions of dollars and delivered water to drought affected families and farmers across almost 10 per cent of Victoria in record time.
