Eyre Peninsula Desalination Plant
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Port Lincoln, South Australia, Australia
Source: Australian Broadcasting Corporation
The project involves constructing a desalination plant at Billy Lights Point on the outskirts of Port Lincoln, South Australia, to address the region's dire water shortages. The plant's marine pipeline infrastructure will be installed by tunnelling beneath the shoreline and inter-tidal areas to protect the coastline and marine environments, reducing dredging works by about 85%.
