ONSLOW SEAWATER DESALINATION PLANT

Drilling Solution

Project Mission

The mission of the Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant project is to:

• Establish intake and outfall infrastructure for the Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant.
• Conduct geotechnical drilling operations to gather essential data for the project.
• Ensure the structural integrity and stability of the infrastructure in nearshore conditions.
• Implement environmentally sustainable drilling practices to minimise impact on marine ecosystems.

“Soil Mechanics completed another successful nearshore project for the water corporation, intake and outfall infrastructure for Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant.”

Key Objectives:

• 
  Infrastructure Establishment: Establish intake and outfall infrastructure for the desalination plant.
• 
  Geotechnical Data Collection: Conduct geotechnical drilling operations to gather crucial data for engineering design.
• 
  Safety and Stability: Ensure safety and stability of the infrastructure in nearshore conditions.
• 
  Environmental Responsibility: Minimize environmental impact during drilling activities.

The Challenge of Project

The Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant project faces the following challenges:

• Conducting drilling operations in nearshore marine environments.
• Ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the infrastructure in dynamic coastal conditions.
• Mobilising equipment and personnel from Perth to Onslow and assembling them in Beadon Creek.
• Meeting project deadlines while adhering to strict environmental regulations.
