Project overview

  • Westernport Water has three pipelines connected to the underside of the San Remo / Phillip Island Bridge.
  • These pipes provide vital water and wastewater services to Phillip Island and San Remo, transporting approximately 802.15 ML of drinking water and 503 ML of sewage to the Island annually.
  • The brackets, fixtures and fittings connecting these pipelines to the bridge have undergone proactive maintenance, extending the life of the pipelines for another 30 years.
  • Scaffolding was suspended under the bridge so workers could safely access the pipes while minimising impacts to traffic and pedestrians.
  • The $5.5M San Remo Bridge Pipeline Bracket Renewal Project was delivered by Westernport Water, with Freyssinet Australia the principal contractor and BASE Industries as the sub-contractor for the scaffolding works.
  • Works were completed between February 2024 and February 2025.
