Port Melbourne, Salmon Street Diversion Sewer Upgrade

What we're doing

We need to undertake investigation works near the proposed alignment to help finalise the design. Investigative works will commence early May at the intersection of Salmon and Turner Street, Port Melbourne.

The works will involve:

• Service proving to identify and locate all underground services that may interact with the pipeline alignment.
• Engineering feature survey.
• Geotechnical and contamination investigations.

ABK will have a temporary site compound set up in the area for the duration of the works. You'll notice a mobile site office that looks like a caravan on wheels to store equipment and materials. The area will be secure and adhere to strict safety requirements.

When it's happening

We’re starting investigative works soon at the intersection of Salmon Street and Turner Street, Port Melbourne, so you might see us or our contractor Abergeldie, BMD & KBR (ABK) around.

We’re planning to start work on Monday 6 May. It should take around 5 days to complete (depending on the weather). You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7 am and 6 pm. On the odd occasion, we might need to work at other times for safety, technical or permit reasons.

We'll return to site in late 2024 to complete the works. We'll let you know before we start works in your area.
