Project Details
GE Maintenance Solutions (GEMS) completed the installation of three new membranes and provided labour and equipment to carry out warranty repairs on the existing membranes at the Yeppoon Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
The client’s decision was influenced by GEMS’ proven expertise, demonstrated during their recent work at the Cannonvale Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), which involved similar challenges.
Planning the Approach
To meet the project requirements, GEMS rapidly mobilised resources and coordinated procurement. The team identified all necessary components, prepared fabrication requirements, and scheduled on-site works to ensure the project could be completed within a strict timeframe.
The Maintenance Works
Within 21 days, GEMS:
- Procured all required materials
- Oversaw fabrication of three stainless steel membrane frames
- Manufactured 28 membrane frame brackets and aeration pipework
- Coordinated cranes, workforce, and specialist equipment for site works
On site, the works included core drilling and the installation of 12 membrane brackets, carried out by skilled personnel under strict safety and quality standards.
Delivering Results
This project demonstrated GEMS’ ability to deliver complex upgrades and warranty repairs within tight deadlines. Key outcomes included:
- Successful installation of new membranes and supporting infrastructure
- Warranty repairs that extended the life of existing assets
- Efficient delivery within less than 21 days
- Seamless coordination between fabrication, logistics, and on-site teams
Why This Matters
Sewage treatment plants rely on membrane systems to maintain safe and reliable operations. By completing this project quickly and effectively, GEMS not only restored performance at the Yeppoon STP but also ensured long-term reliability of essential treatment processes.
This project highlights GEMS’ commitment to timely delivery, quality workmanship, and comprehensive project management solutions that help clients protect critical infrastructure.
From careful planning to hands-on execution, this project shows how GEMS delivers more than maintenance — we deliver solutions that keep Queensland’s essential infrastructure moving.
