Sydney Water is pleased to issue this Expression of Interest to the market. The market plays an important role in delivering Sydney Water’s growth objectives and we welcome your expertise as we embark on the formal procurement process. 

The Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre (USC AWRC) project is currently in the construction phase and delivery is targeted for June 2025. Multiple catchments will be serviced via the USC AWRC one of which is the Kemps Creek catchment. The Kemps Creek catchment includes Austral, East Leppington, Leppington North, Western Sydney Parklands and parts of Rossmore, Kemps Creek and Catherine Fields North. The Options Report developed options for trunk infrastructure, gravity carriers and pumping station sites to service the Kemps Creek catchment and transfer flows to the USC AWRC.

To address these challenges, Sydney Water is seeking a delivery contractor to design and construct the Kemps Creek Dual Pressure Mains Project (‘the Project’). The Project works require the delivery contractor to complete the detailed design and all design requirements with Sydney Water’s approved design subcontractor, WSP Australia Pty Limited (WSP) and then carry out construction of the dual pressure mains including valving installations, air valve installations, scour installations, vent shafts and all other associated fittings, connections to existing and proposed mains, maintenance free sections, trenchless sections where required and site restoration for approximately 7kms. Sydney Water’s design services professional services contract with WSP will be novated to the delivery contractor. Working together, we will achieve the following overarching Project outcomes: 

• Service the USC AWRC by transferring flows
