Balickera Tunnel Remediation
Abergeldie was engaged by Hunter Water to carry out a remediation upgrade to the Balickera Tunnel. The tunnel is a key piece of the region’s water supply infrastructure and forms part of Balickera Canal which provides approximately 50% of the water yield from the Williams River to the Grahamstown Dam.
The remediation upgrade to Balickera Tunnel for Hunter Water was carried out over the Summer and Autumn seasons in 2021 – 2022 and now provides a further 100 years of design life to ensure the 1200m tunnel can continue to supply water from Williams River to Grahamstown Dam.
