Duration: March 2026

Project Background

The Lakes Road Sewer Pump Station in Seville Grove was originally constructed in 1971.

McRobert Contracting Services completed Level 2 inspections of the pump station in 2016 and 2021, identifying significant deterioration of the structure.

The 2021 inspection identified severe corrosion throughout the concrete walls of the wet well, exposed steel reinforcement, heavily corroded inlet pipework and deteriorated access lids.

3D laser scanning revealed concrete deterioration of up to 82mm, exceeding the estimated concrete cover in some areas.
