  • Challenge

    The 630mm main is part of a live network. The cutover had to happen during a tightly scheduled shutdown, at night, with minimal disruption to supply and to traffic.

  • Approach

    Benang ran the works under traffic management at night, excavated the live brownfield site, completed the welding and the cutover, then reinstated and commissioned the main inside the shutdown window.

  • Outcome

    The critical works were completed in July 2022 with zero lost time injuries and zero environmental incidents.
