WATER RESOURCES - Environmental

Strong environmental awareness within Airey Taylor Consulting has encouraged the incorporation of environmental and ecological features into civil engineering design wherever possible.

Working in close collaboration with landscape architects on environmentally sensitive projects, we offer the following specialised engineering advice:

Water senstive design incorporating storm water drainage systems and nutrient stripping basins. This system has been used on major freeway projects, like the Kwinana freeway, and also in the creation of artificial wet lands, where replenishment of existing wetlands is a priority.
In wastewater & water projects where water quality & treatment is a priority, we prepare advanced designs in association with Montgomery Watson, who offer a range of services including analyses of water quality, hazardous waste remediation & environmental issues.

Bibra Lake Main Sewer, Hydraulic Model
Airey Taylor Consulting prepared a detailed analysis of flow monitoring data and calibration of the Bibra Lake and Spearwood Main Sewers for the Water Corporation using an Extran Hydraulic Computer modeling package. The sewer system, consisting of sewer pipes of up to 2.25m. in diameter, was modeled to determine the impact on flow rates, retention time and storage characteristics of a multi-pressure mains discharge into a twenty kilometre long sewer system.

The Anstey Hill Water Treatment Plant (right) was designed by Montgomery Watson Australia in association with Hosking, Oborn And Partners, Adelaide. The plant is located 20km north east of Adelaide, South Australia and has a capacity of 315 ML/d. The plant is a classic design and featured in numerous texts and publications, and won an award from The Institution Of Engineers, Australia. This was due in part to the integration of the architectural aesthetics with functional design of the project.

Neerabup Stage 1 Water Treatment Plant.
In association with Montgomery Waston (Australia) Pty Ltd, Airey Taylor Consulting prepared alternative designs for Water Corporation (WA) for the Neerabup Water Treatment Plant.The alternative design featured a 120ML/d filtration plant and included clarifiers, six flow split filters, back wash system (including wash water recovery) chemical feeding system and a treated water pumping station. The alternative design features were acceptable to the Water Corporation but the proposal was not successful. The design did however confirm that Montgomery Watson Australia and Airey Taylor Consulting can produce a viable water treatment plant design under limited time restrictions.

Mount Tom Price Town and Mines Water Supply: Airey Taylor Consulting fully designed the water supply system for this North-West company town and mine.
