Sydney Water
program supports system resilience and economic development for the
growing region in Sydney
DALLAS, Oct. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jacobs (NYSE:
J)-Seymour Whyte Joint Venture was
selected by Sydney Water to
provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM)
services for the Upper South Creek Networks (USCN) Program in
Western Sydney. As one of Sydney's
fastest growing regions, it is estimated 90,000 new dwellings and
200,000 jobs will be created in the Upper South Creek catchment in
the next three decades, making wastewater infrastructure investment
critical for growth and development.
The program will use an integrated delivery model to plan,
procure, design, build and deliver resilient, affordable and
sustainable wastewater services. It will ensure Sydney Water can continue to provide safe,
reliable and affordable services to customers as the region
continues to grow.
"The Upper South Creek Networks Program is a major step in the
transformation and resilience of Sydney
Water's infrastructure systems," said Jacobs Senior
Vice President Keith Lawson. "By
integrating our industry-leading design and program management
experience with Seymour Whyte's
construction planning and management experience and Sydney Water's system planning, understanding of
future growth and system operational knowledge, we will help create
a more secure future for the region."
"Sydney Water is looking forward
to working with the Jacobs-Seymour Whyte Joint Venture to design
and deliver this important greenfield [wastewater] network that is
critical to supporting homes and jobs in Sydney's major growth
corridor," said Sydney Water Program Director Deanne McDonald.
The USCN Program will progressively deliver approximately
60 miles (96 kilometers) of wastewater pipelines and nine pumping
stations across five precincts in the Upper South Creek catchment
to transfer flows to the Jacobs-GHD designed Advanced Water
Recycling Centre, currently under construction.
