Quality and Value with every Project
Neuflow successfully delivered the Waiora Membrane Filtration Plant upgrade, ensuring Hamilton’s growing community has a safe and reliable water supply into the future. The project increased capacity of the existing treatment plant by an extra 40 million litres per day, integrating advanced treatment processes, new infrastructure, and automated control systems. We have delivered a future-proof solution that meets regulatory requirements and supports long-term water security.
Hamilton’s growing community depends on a safe and reliable supply of drinking water. The Waiora Water Treatment Plant plays a crucial role in ensuring that every home and business in the city has access to clean, high-quality water.
Sourced from the Waikato River, this water is treated to meet the highest safety standards before being distributed throughout the city. But providing drinking water isn’t just about purification—it’s also about maintaining the right pressure, meeting seasonal demand, and ensuring reserves are available for emergency firefighting needs.
With Hamilton’s continued growth, this demand is only increasing and the existing treatment plant required an upgrade to provide capacity for an extra 40 million litres per day. The site is now capable of treating 140 million litres per day when fully operational.
Neuflow played a key role as the Project Managers for the design, manufacture, and installation of the 40MLD Waiora Membrane Filtration Plant. This included overseeing the entire process—from mechanical and electrical systems to structural construction—ensuring seamless integration with the existing treatment infrastructure. The project also involved commissioning the new plant, ensuring it met operational standards and efficiency targets. Numerous subcontractors were also involved, contributing their expertise to various specialized aspects of the project which helped the project run smoothly.
A major part of the project was the design and construction of new buildings and above-ground structures, including a dedicated plant room and electrical building, hydrocyclone separators, a 200,000L raw water storage tank, chemical storage and a new onsite wastewater attenuation system.
Advanced technology played a crucial role, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) used to create detailed digital representations of all new project elements, aligning with HCC BIM specifications which were then used in asset capitalisation processes. Electrical and control systems were also upgraded, enabling automation and improved plant management.
The final stage included rigorous testing, commissioning, and staff training, ensuring the plant operates efficiently and meets all regulatory and performance requirements.
