Sydney Water Corporation (Sydney Water) is working to expand our network to meet increased demands from growth in South West Sydney, ensuring our existing and future customers continue to have reliable access to clean drinking water.

To service the ongoing development within Western Sydney including the Western Sydney Airport (WSA), a new trunk water main is being constructed from Western Road, along Overett Avenue under South Creek to Martin Road and onto the WSA site at Badgerys Creek, along Elizabeth Drive.

Work is about to commence on the eastern verge of Martin Road, near the intersection of Elizabeth Drive at 10 Martin Road. This will involve the construction of a microtunnel pit. To avoid road closures and maximise the safety of our construction team we will be working nights and all-day Saturday and Sunday this week.

Upcoming work - out of hours.

Monday 19 August to Saturday 24 August 9pm–5am (Night crew)

Saturday 24 August and Sunday 25 August. 7am–8pm (Day crew)

Our standard work hours are:

Monday to Friday 7am - 6pm

Saturday 8am - 1pm

This work will involve:

  • Construction of the microtunnel receival pit.
  • Positioning of pipes along roadside verge on Martin Road.
  • Excavating machinery, trucks and other heavy equipment will be in the area.
  • Lighting and safety controls will be in place. Traffic control measures will also be in place.
  • We do predict this work to be noisy and every effort will be made to minimise disruptions to the area.

Sydney Water has engaged ACCIONA as Delivery Partner and representatives of Sydney Water. Athassel Civil Pty Ltd is the principle contractor for this work. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact our Community Engagement Manager, Julie Adams, (promac@sydneywater.com.au 1800 678 098).

Construction managers and community liaison personnel are on site, please feel free to approach them should you need any assistance during construction hours. We request road users and residents to observe construction zone speed limits to assist with the safety of our construction crews.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this important work.
