Prequalification of Design and Construct Contractors
Roaches Surge Reservoir Project
Murrumbidgee Irrigation Limited (MI) has applied for funding under the Australian Government funded Off Farm Efficiency Program in NSW to undertake water infrastructure modernisation projects in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA). These projects include the design and construction of the Roaches Surge Reservoir.
Strategically located surge reservoirs in conjunction with the move to full automation allows MI to further improve its water delivery flexibility for its customers, who are requesting higher flow rates, the ability to start and close at short notice and 24-hour access to these services. Small storages act as a “capacitor” in these scenarios to ensure that these services can be achieved without impacting system performance.
The scope includes the construction of a 5,000 ML surge reservoir that will:
• Further enhance internal operational efficiencies through the automation of the network;
• Enhance river operational efficiencies;
• Increase system capacity (surge) to meet customer needs during peak usage periods;
• Assist with flood mitigation;
• Provide greater water security particularly during maintenance periods; and
• Provide towns with greater water security.
The Roaches Surge Reservoir Project is located approximately 4 kms south-east of the township of Yanco in the Leeton Shire Council area.
MI invites companies or joint ventures with substantial experience in design and construction of earthen reservoirs and associated infrastructure to submit an Expression of Interest to be considered for prequalification and shortlisting. The Roaches Surge Reservoir project, comprises:
5000 megalitre (ML) storage with an internal area of 90 hectares;
1,500 ML per day capacity inlet structure from the Main Canal;
1,000 ML per day capacity pump station;
1,500 ML per day capacity outlet structure;
1.2 km outlet channel with a 1,500ML per day capacity; and
Drainage subway under the Main Canal.
Shortlisted companies will be invited to submit tenders for design and construction of the Roaches Surge Reservoir on 30 January 2022. Tenders will close on March 2022.
