Remediation of the Storm Water Drainage System Serving the SOPA

Abstract

The Sydney Olympic Park Complex is served by a comprehensive storm water drainage system that covers all road, parkland and building drainage needs for the site. Apart from the system serving the Newington area, the storm water drainage system is relatively new being completed during the late 1990's. This project emerged after investigation by SOPA found that the network had suffered significant damage during construction of the park site, as well as the detection of a number of other defects that had not been identified prior to handover. SOPA contracts involve the remediation of the storm water system which is constructed from concrete pipe ranging from 300 mm to 1800 mm diameter and some large box culvert sections.
