White Bay Power Station Heritage Infrastructure Relining

Client Background

The heritage-listed White Bay Power Station is an iconic Sydney landmark. Its aging underground infrastructure required urgent repair to maintain the integrity of this historically significant site.

The Challenge

Traditional excavation was strictly prohibited due to the risk of damaging heritage structures. Restricted access and the need to preserve the original building fabric made standard “dig and replace” methods impossible.

Our Solution

A specialist trenchless relining strategy was designed to rehabilitate the pipes internally without disturbing the ground.

Robotic CCTV Investigation

Detailed internal mapping to navigate complex heritage pipe pathways.

Trenchless Relining

Strengthening pipes from within to restore performance without a single shovel hitting the dirt.

UV Curing System

Utilizing advanced UV technology to ensure the repair was compatible with existing site assets.
