Mt Hotham Shire awarded D Form Civil the FRP package to construct the inlet structure as part of the broader project.

The inlet is a reinforced concrete structure comprising an instream headwall approximately 20m wide and 5 meters high with grill and tapered walls to direct flows and accelerate water into the Swindler’s Valley Pipeline. The headwall’s draw point was fitted with a 18mm screen filter over the gravity feed pipeline.

The logistics involved to complete these works were carefully planned and coordinated with the client and the community due to the location and accessibility of the work site.
