DALLAS, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J)
will deliver design services for TasWater's Bryn Estyn Water
Treatment Plant (WTP) Upgrade project in Hobart, Australia, which is the primary supplier of
drinking water for the city and surrounding areas.
The upgrade will establish a new and multi-barrier approach to
ensure safe drinking water supply, increase capacity to 160 mega
liters per day to meet anticipated future demand, and improve
resilience in supply for the people of Hobart. TasWater is the
water and sewage utility provider for the state of Tasmania and estimates the upgrade cost at
more than $155 million (>AU
$200 million).
"Despite having a relatively moderate climate, Hobart is one of
the driest capital cities in Australia," said Jacobs People & Places
Solutions Executive Vice President Global Operations Patrick Hill. "The quality of its drinking water
supply has been impacted by recent lower than average rainfall at a
time when demand is rising from a growing population. This makes
this upgrade critical to ensure the reliability of drinking water
for future generations."
Jacobs will deliver concept/functional design for estimating
purposes, detailed design and construction and commissioning
support services for the project. Jacobs' local Hobart presence,
along with its global team of water specialists with experience
delivering similar projects across Australia and around the world, was key to
securing the appointment.
The project is the first major upgrade to be undertaken by the
Capital Delivery Office, established to deliver TasWater's
extensive Capital Works Program across Tasmania.
