This project is for the renewal of Barwon Water’s largest potable water tank, a 32ML steel storage in Drysdale that directly services Clifton Springs/Drysdale and supplies transfer mains to Bellarine Peninsula towns of Portarlington, Indented Head and St. Leonards.

Design and Construction services required for the tank upgrade are inclusive of:

• Investigation and assessment activities to facilitate detailed design for renewal activities
• Roof and roof structure replacement
• Access structure and connection renewals and other modifications
• Internal and external coating replacement
• Commissioning

The Clifton Springs Tank can only go offline during the winter off-peak season. In peak season over summer, the needs of the dependant supply networks cannot be met without the tank online.

Off peak winter season

- Beginning of May 2026 to beginning of October 2026 (inclusive of draining and commissioning). See the Contract Scope of Works document for further information.

- It is critical that the tank be back online and in-service ahead of the summer period.

The Contractor will need to consider the timing of key activities with respect to the tank’s shutdown window.

An online tenderer briefing as well as a separate site visit is offered. For further details and to register for attendance, please contact the tender officer as per the RFT Invitation document.
