A major challenge on the project from the outset was the resistance of several key Landowners to joining the scheme threatening to derail the project. Face to face meetings between the Landowners and Managing Director Wayne Mitchell established Landowner consent for the 40km of pipelines to be constructed through their properties, with access points omitted pending resolution of Water Authority issues.
The Narrabri project, although short in length and duration was very challenging due to the alignment of the pipeline being the middle of the Pilliga State Forrest, within an existing HDPE Water line corridor, with no new clearing allowed. The pipeline was subject to strict EIS conditions including minimising dust and erosion onsite. To manage the conditions an extensive erosion sediment control plan (ESCP) was designed and implemented.
