Our funding partners get a tour of the Ti Tree Bend site

4 November 2024

It was great to welcome our funding partners to site to celebrate the start of construction of the new 10 megalitre storage tank at our Ti Tree Bend Sewage Treatment Plant.

As part of the Tamar Estuary River Health Action Plan, we are delivering project to improve the health of the kanamaluka/Tamar estuary.

The covered storage tank at Ti Tree Bend marks the final major construction piece of our TERHAP projects.

Significant ground improvements at Ti Tree Bend have been undertaken to enable construction, including more than 28,000 cubic metres of soil being mixed and stabilised, using a construction method known as mass soil mixing.

In addition to the ground improvements, around 120 concrete piles have been installed to a depth of 20 metres to provide further stability and strength for the new concrete storage tank.

The new storage tank will increase capacity at the STP and minimise overflows to kanamaluka/Tamar estuary during times of high rainfall. This tank will also support the future consolidation of other treatment facilities in the Launceston region.
