Demolition of the water tank and tower at Jimbalakudunj

Tracy Wilkinson project managed the decommissioning, demolition and replacement of a water tank and tower that services an Indigenous community in the remote Kimberley region in Western Australia. 

A brand new 50,000 litre steel water tank is being built

There were two primary challenges with the project:  Firstly, the logistical requirements to build the new tank and tower several thousand kilometres away from the project site; and, secondly, the cultural implications of non-Indigenous contractors working on Indigenous lands. 

Slump testing the concrete for the footings

Tracy worked closely with the Indigenous community members and other Indigenous stakeholders to ensure that their needs were met throughout the project.
