• Emergency storage upgrade, 
• Installation of venting and odour control systems, 
• Sewer pump station upgrade replacing pumps, pipes, electrical and mechanical fittings, 
• Installation of new section of sewer rising main, 
• Electrical fit out, 
• Switchboard and back-up generator replacement, 
• Pump system testing.
