Proposal description

Construction of impermeable concrete platforms within the Plant & Filtration Room, the Chemical Store & Chemical Dosing Room. The platform within each room will consist of a new bas slab, perimeter walls and suspended concrete floor. This will raise the plant room floors safely above flood levels and exclude contaminated river water from entering the plant rooms. External doorways will also be raised to maintain access; raising the floor of the Plant and Filtration Room by 1.3m to a level of 4.3mOD; raising the floor of the Chemical Store and Chemical Dosing Room by 1.2m to 4.2mOD while maintaining a minimum of 2.1m head height in these rooms; in the service yard, construction of a new raised walkway alongside the rear wall of the building to maintain external access to the Plant and Filtration Room, the Chemical Store and Chemical Dosing Room. The walkway will merge into existing ground levels at the north, with stairs at the south to provide access from the service yard. The existing service yard security gate will be redesigned to accommodate the new walkway; in the service yard, the wall of the bund around the oil tank will be raised to prevent ingress of water into the oil bund during a flood event; in the service yard, heat exchangers and their enclosures will be raised on a new frame to prevent damage by water during a flood event
