The Wodonga Raw Water Pumping Station is a vital part of the region’s water infrastructure, but its location alongside the Wodonga Creek makes it vulnerable to flooding during periods of rising water levels.
To enhance the plant’s flood resilience, a surrounding levee wall was constructed and a FloodFree removable flood barrier supplied.
The site’s entry and exit point is now protected by a Demountable Flood Bulkhead Barrier.
The barrier spans 5000mm in length and stands 1800mm high, engineered to withstand extreme conditions. The barrier, weighing 1045kg, has been designed in two segments for ease of deployment.
By implementing this flood mitigation solution, the Wodonga Pump Station is now better equipped to withstand extreme weather events, safeguarding essential infrastructure and ensuring continued plant operations during periods of high water levels.
