Campbelltown Billabong Parklands
Project No. 8860
Campbelltown Billabong Parklands is a vibrant community facility located in NSW & is one which is designed to offer a unique blend of natural beauty & recreational amenities. BEC provided aquatic engineering including water treatment, working-in with Crystal Pools & Campbelltown City Council & in collaboration with landscape architects, Arcadia, architects, NBRS, & contractor Landscape Solutions.
The BEC project team, including Peter Bagust (Water Treatment), Rhys Kilpatrick (Aquatics), and Brad Fong (Principal) collaborated closely with Crystal Pools to design the systems essential for the park’s various water features.
Peter highlighted the design inspiration & challenges of designing the water treatment to ensure optimal functionality;
“The design mimics the natural rock pools, waterfalls & rapids of the regions Dharawal National Park. The challenges from a water treatment perspective included
- the physical distance from the pools to the plantroom & balance tanks;
- the number/coordination of pipes required to reticulate water to & from the pools & water features;
- Ensuring adequate water circulation within & around the naturally shaped rock formations. ”
– Peter Bagust, Water Treatment Engineer
