A ceremony to officially mark the completion of the Bega Valley Sewerage Program (BVSP) was held on the 1st of September 2008 at the Bega Sewage Treatment Plant, one of the new treatment plants built through the program. The Program which started in 2003 was delivered through the alliance of Tenix Alliance and the Bega Valley Shire Council. Together, the Alliance developed sewerage facilities in the Bega Valley , an area of 7000 square kilometres in the South Eastern corner of New South Wales with a population of 30,000. Key objectives were to design, construct and commission new sewerage infrastructure (including treatment plants and networks) for Cobargo, Candelo, Woluma, Kalaru and Wallaga Lake Villages; and upgrade five sewage treatment plants at Bermagui, Bega, Tathra, Merimbula and Tura Beach to overcome environmental and public health problems and create recycled water reuse opportunities. “Our involvement in the BVSP is something we will always be proud of. Tenix Alliance has maintained a close relationship with the Bega Valley Shire Council throughout the program and together we have delivered a truly world class project”, says Sean Woellner, Chief Operations Officer of Tenix Alliance. The BVSP received a commendation at the 2006 Engineering Excellence awards for Regional Communities for delivering innovation in the engineering of wastewater solutions in rural communities in three key areas of technology, contracting, and commercial performance. Technologically, the BVSP utilised an innovative solution, combining a pressure sewerage system and four Membrane Bio-Reactor(MBR) wastewater treatment plants; and horizontal directional drilling as the main method of installing the pressure sewage mains. Contractually, the BVSP is the first time that an alliance framework was employed to undertake a program of works for a NSW Local Water Utility and is the first alliance for a NSW Local Water Utility that has awarded a contract including an extended period of operations. Commercially, the BVSP was delivered below the NSW public sector benchmark for conventional regional sewerage schemes, a win for the people of Bega Valley. This success story has been instrumental in improving the health and environment for the Bega Valley communities. It has made significant enhancements to the method of treating wastewater, enabling water conservation through re-use on public facilities and will ensure cleaner local waterways. Tenix Alliance will be operating the ten sewage treatment plants for the next ten years with an optional extension.
