The 10-year contract will see BFHI and ABK plan and deliver major infrastructure upgrades in partnership with South East Water as part of a new integrated capital works planning and delivery model.
WD News: South East Water’s $1.5 billion investment in major capital projects is officially underway with works awarded to new industry partners Abergeldie, BMD & KBR (ABK) and BecaHunterH20, Fulton Hogan & Interflow (BFHI).
Minister for Water, Harriet Shing, has announced the contract for the shovel-ready $72 million Dingley Recycled Water Scheme has been awarded to ABK, which will kick off the partnership. The 42km pipeline will unlock 1.8 giga litres per annum of recycled water to 46 public and private sites across Oakleigh South, Sandringham, and Cheltenham.

The Victorian Government contributed $24.8 million to the project as part of its commitment to building liveable, climate-resilient cities that will be enjoyed by a growing population over the next 50 years.
Other awarded shovel-ready projects include:
