Examples of our recent projects include:
The Rosehill Recycled Water Scheme
AquaNet Sydney, a Jemena Company, together with Veolia Water Australia, will build and operate Australia's first privately owned recycled water system in western Sydney. Construction is scheduled for early 2009.
The Rosehill Water Recycling scheme will initially deliver 4.3 billion litres per year of safe, high quality recycled water to development, industrial and commercial customers in Rosehill and Smithfield by early 2011. Future expansion aims to supply an additional 3 billion litres per year to customers in Westmead, Parramatta, Wetherill Park, Fairfield and Liverpool.
Under the Build Own Operate model, Jemena will own the recycled water network and deliver water initially to Sydney Water and then directly to industrial customers.

The Sydney Primary Loop
Jemena has constructed a new 30 kilometre, 500 millimetre diameter natural gas main between Liverpool and Marrickville. This was achieved in conjunction with civil construction specialists Codmah and Diona under an alliance agreement.
The new gas main, known as the 'Sydney Primary Loop', connects into the existing Primary Main Network which distributes natural gas to homes and businesses across Sydney.
This project was essential to securing Sydney's existing supply of natural gas, as well as planning for the long-term needs of the growing population.
Construction work began in June 2006 and was commissioned in December 2007.

The Colongra Gas Pipeline
Delta Electricity has appointed Jemena to construct a gas pipeline between Bushells Ridge and the Colongra gas fired turbines. The project will include the construction of:
- a 250mm (10") and 1050mm (42") welded steel gas pipeline
- an inlet facility and compressor station at Bushells Ridge
- a delivery facility at Munmorah Power Station
Construction planned to commence in April 2008 and is expected to be completed by March 2009. To date Jemena has worked with Delta under a joint team and open book approach to complete the Front End Engineering Design and finalise the engineering and construction scope, commercial terms, risk sharing and remuneration structure for a 20 year Build, Own, Operate and Transfer contract.

Growth in the Wind Farm Industry
With Jemena's experience in electrical distribution asset management, we are well placed to service Australia's growing wind farm industry.
Under the common ownership of Singapore Power International, Jemena is now aligned with SP AusNet, owners of a centrally located electricity network which provides key links to networks in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
The combined capabilities of both organisations represent a unique platform for the delivery of wind farm developments and guarantees the progression of wind generation as a viable sustainable energy source for Australia.
Contracted by Hydro Tasmania/EHN, Jemena co-constructed the Balance of Plant works for Cathedral Rocks Wind Farm, SA. The contract comprised the design, procurement, installation, commissioning and testing of the electrical balance of plant for the wind farm (33 x 1.8MW Vestas wind turbines). This included 50 km of underground HV and optic fibre cabling, the wind farm SCADA system, turbine and substation earthing systems, and wind farm switchgear.
