Savcor recently supplied the Linabond Co-Lining System to protect the Hallam Valley MH4 drop structure in Melbourne’s southeast, which had been subject to years of hydrogen sulphide attack.

Savcor utilised its wastewater divisions specialist confined space team and Linabond Co-Lining Systems to provide the solution to the Hallam Valley MH4 drop structure.

The scope of work involved high pressure cleaning of all concrete surfaces to ensure a sound substrate of suitable pH, reconstruction of the internal platforms and vortex structure, and lining all internal components of the structure with Linabond Co-Lining Systems to ensure a 50 year maintenance free life extension.

The project was completed without incident, in extremely difficult access conditions and in accordance with Melbourne Water’s confined space entry procedure.
