More pipeline work for NQ Excavations

Work on the next section of Townsville's Haughton water pipeline is set to begin within weeks, with the tender awarded to local company NQ Excavations.

The project will extend the pipeline a further 330m under the Haughton River, preparing for the construction of Stage 2.

Townsville City Council said the funding for the extension to Stage 1 would come from the State Government’s $225 million commitment for the council’s three-point water security solution.

Delivery of the full water pipeline will take a further three years, with work on Stage 1 on track to be fully complete. . .
