Upgrade to Loxton Irrigation Pump Station
The project was won in open tender in January 2001 and completed in August 2002.
The project involved the installation of six new pumps of 1,000 litres/second capacity each, with all the associated civil works and pipework associated with the suction and discharge for the pumps, including a suction support structure in the river and twin 1200mm rising mains.
