Leigh Creek Pipeline
SA Water
Leigh Creek, South Australia
In Leigh Creek, located 550km north of Adelaide near the picturesque Flinders Rangers, Diona (as part of the McConnell Dowell Diona Joint Venture) constructed a new 22.5km pipeline, relocating the current water main around the decommissioned coal mine for improved water security, safety and maintenance access.
Key Points
- The Leigh Creek Mine Diversion project safely relocated the current water main around the decommissioned coal mine for improved safety and maintenance access.
- Removing the infrastructure from culturally significant land is an important step towards healing Country for the Adnyamathanha community.
- This project is creating career pathways and enabling skill sharing as we work together to de-risk and accelerate the construction timeframe.
