Wedoany.com Report on Mar 17th, KBR (Houston) is collaborating with the Northwest Hub Alliance (NWHA), Sydney Water, John Holland, and Stantec to advance a A$300 million wastewater treatment growth project in Sydney's northwest. This wastewater project aims to address the region's rapid population growth and is expected to be completed by the end of 2029, providing connection opportunities for approximately 200,000 new households.

In the second phase of the project, the Northwest Hub Alliance will be responsible for the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the sites at the Northwest Treatment Hub, including the Water Resource Recovery Facilities at Riverstone, Rouse Hill, and Castle Hill. Margaret Reilly, Director at Sydney Water, stated, "Expanding wastewater treatment capacity in Sydney's northwest is one of the state's key water infrastructure investments and is crucial for supporting housing growth."

As part of the Northwest Hub Alliance, KBR will continue to support Sydney Water into the planned next phase, emphasizing the role of innovation and collaboration in driving housing growth. The second phase builds on the progress already made in the first phase, which included significant upgrades at the Northwest Treatment Hub, such as a new biosolids treatment plant at the Riverstone Water Resource Recovery Facility and improvements at the Rouse Hill facility.

KBR led the project in achieving an Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) V2.1 Silver rating, a first for a water infrastructure project in Australia. The team plays a central role in delivering innovative solutions to address challenges in the water sector and has the opportunity to share lessons learned across the broader water industry. This wastewater treatment project not only enhances infrastructure but also lays the foundation for sustainable urban development.
