Veolia Australia (Paris:VIE) and New Zealand
(« VANZ »), through Veolia Water Australia Pty Ltd,
has been selected by Springvale Joint Venture and EnergyAustralia
to deliver the new Springvale Mount Piper Power Station Water
Treatment Plant (“Springvale WTP”). The Springvale WTP will be
built under a Design, Build, Own, Operate and Transfer contract and
following the construction, VANZ will be responsible for the
operations and ongoing maintenance of the pipeline and treatment
facility, over a 15 year period. The project is being funded by a
partnership with Australian based infrastructure fund manager
Infrastructure Capital Group .
Located in Lithgow, New South Wales, the Springvale Mine
produces the coal used by the nearby Mount Piper Power Station. The
Mount Piper Power Station provides approximately 15% of New South
Wales’ power. This facility will treat the mine water and deliver
water to the power station for beneficial reuse. By delivering the
Springvale WTP, Veolia will ensure environmental and operational
compliance in relation to water outflows and most importantly,
enable continued operations of both the mine and the power
station.
There are three main deliverables for this project, which
include the construction of a 16 km water pipeline connecting the
two sites, the treatment and reuse of the mine water and lastly,
the implementation of a of a brine treatment eliminating liquid
discharge.
“Veolia’s expertise in water treatment as well as our strong
presence in mining and infrastructure has given both the Springvale
Joint Venture and EnergyAustralia the confidence to award this
15-year water infrastructure contract to Veolia, which is so
important to NSW’s power supply and provides an environmental
outcome that can guarantee the mine’s future,” commented Doug
Dean, Managing Director of Veolia Australia and New Zealand.
“This contract confirms the added-value solutions and expertise
that our Group provides to its energy and mining clients, so that
their processes can both comply with industry and regulatory
standards and improve the efficiency of their operations.”
While preliminary activities have already commenced, this
contract now allows construction of the Springvale WTP to proceed
immediately which is scheduled to be completed by mid-2019. The
contract is projected to generate a number of jobs in the region
and approximately 400 million AUD in revenue for VANZ over the
coming 17 years.
