On Sunday we hit a major milestone with East Gippsland Water: nearly 500m of 450 mm OD water main was successfully pulled via HDD from Kalimna, under North Arm, and up into Apex Park, Lakes Entrance. The clip below shows the pipe emerging at Apex Park, an awesome moment for the team and community. The still image beneath the video captures the machine operator who pulled the pipe to the surface giving a thumbs-up on a successful outcome.
This trenchless crossing is part of EGWโs North Arm upgrade to improve supply reliability and support future growth, with works slated to wrap mid-December 2025.

Huge thanks to our Cape Dunstans crew, EGW, and the Lakes Entrance community for the support.๐ง
