	The temporary haul road which will allow large trucks to access the area.
	The last section of the temporary haul road.
	The excavator starts cutting through the rock where the 20,000 litre wet well will be located.
	The smaller excavator.
	A larger Volvo 20 tonne excavator was brought in to cut through the rock.
	Two excavators were used. The smaller one to the right scooped out the loose rock. The larger one to the left hammered through the rock. Using two excavators saved time as the attachments did not have to be changed.
	The smaller excavator clearing the loose rock.
	The 20,000 litre wet well is getting deeper and the channel directing excess water back to Moore's Creek is now formed.
	The larger excavator hammering through the rock.
	The haul road for the dam on the 18th hole is made. A grader and roller were used to compact the material.
	3rd tee - new hi tech mega flow drainage is being installed.
	The Rocla Gross Pollutant Trap is being lowered onto the concrete slab with a portable crane.
	The first two parts of the Rocla GPT are in place and the crew is preparing for the last piece to be lowered.
	The last piece of the Rocla GPT is being lowered into position.
	The major components of the GPT are now installed. Behind the GPT is the 20,000 litre wet well.
	Water will enter the GPT on the left side and is diverted into the circular chamber. The water will then pass through four stainless steel baskets where pollutants will be trapped. The water will then rise back into the rectangular chamber and flow into the wet well through the pipe on the right hand side.
	This is where the four stainless steel baskets will be placed to trap any pollutants flowing in the water.
	The four stainless steel baskets have just been delivered and will be lowered into the circular column of the GPT to trap any pollutants flowing in the water.
	The GPT can be seen in the background. Water will pass through the GPT and enter the 20,000 litre wet well through this pipe. This is where the pump will be installed to move the water into the dam to be built on the course.
	Any surplus water not pumped to the dam will flow back into Moore's Creek through this pipe. The water will also be significantly cleaner after passing through the GPT.
	The cover has now been installed on the GPT and the area surrounding both the GPT and wet well have been backfilled with suitable material. The next stage will be to construct the reinforced concrete roof on the wet well once the rain clears. Click here to go to the next series of pictures
	The roof of the 20,000 litre wet well has been formed, reinforcing steel added and is ready for the concrete to be delivered. 6/6/08
	The concrete has been poured onto the roof of the 20,000 litre wet well and access hatch installed. In the background from left to righ - Roddie Edler our Senior Project Engineer Ford Civil and Jason McFadden Site Manager Ford Civil. 10/6/08
	The base of the sedimentation pit has been poured and the reinforcing steel for the walls are exposed. 12/6/08
	The culvert wall has been removed to prepare for the installation of the weir diversion. 12/6/08
	The pipe linking the sedimentation pit to the GPT has been installed. 12/6/08
	The pipes have been delivered which will be used for the rising main. (The pipe transporting the water from the 3rd hole to the new dam) 12/6/08
	The form work is being installed for the base of the creek inlet and sedimentation pit walls. The concrete will be poured a few hours after. 13/6/08
	The third tee is being covered with couch grass. 13/6/08
	Concrete has been poured for the base of the creek inlet. The culverts will be installed early next week. 13/6/08
	The culverts which will be the walls and roof of the creek inlet have arrived on site today. 13/6/08
	Concrete has been poured today around the pipe which will return any excess water back to Moore's Creek. 13/6/08
	The sedimentation pit formwork is 50% completed. The outer shell will be completed tomorrow. The Engineer will need to sign off and then it is ready for the concrete to be delivered. 17/6/08
	The metal ladder is about to be installed within the 20,000 litre wet well. 18/6/08
	The culvert is now completely installed. The stonemason will arrive in the nect few days to rebuild the stone wall. Once the sedimentation pit is completed the water will be diverted through the storm water system so the 30cm weir can be installed in Moore's Creek. 18/6/08
	The sedimentation pit roof has been formed and is ready for the concrete to be delivered. 20/6/08
	The sedimentation pit after the concrete has been formed. The access hole and steel grate will be installed shortly. 24/6/08
	The concrete culvert has been sawed to the same shape as the channel and the sandstone blocks are being re-laid around the opening. 21/6/08
	The sandstone blocks have been re-laid, concrete top has been poured and the weir has been installed in Moore's Creek. 24/6/08
	Located at the base of the weir is an environmental flow pipe which is a condition in our water licence. 24/6/08
	The excavation begins on the rising main. The 200mm pipe will be laid in this trench. 24/6/08
	The small escavator which will dig the rising main trench. This photo is taken behind the 2nd green. 24/6/08

	The site sheds have been relocated today and their new location will be in front of the 11th tee. 24/6/08
	The access road to the dam construction area is being extended over the current rear 10th tee. 24/6/08
	The blue plate on the 10th tee and the machinery completing the work. 24/6/08
	The area surrounding the storm water extraction system is being covered with topsoil by a posi-track bobcat (RHS). This machine provides a very smooth surface. 25/6/08
	The haul road down to the 3rd hole is being removed by an excavator and large tip truck. 25/6/08
	The rising main pipe is being laid in the trench behind the 2nd green. 25/6/08
	This is a non return valve which will prevent water flowing back into the wet well once the pump stops and will allow the water to be manually turned off for pump maintenance. 25/6/08
	The 12m length pipes are joined together using a process called fusion welding. The grey box is connected to the fusion joint (near the installer's right knee). An electric current flows through the device and joins the pipes together. 25/6/08
	The fusion joint close up. The wires inside the joint are electronically heated and once the process is finished the pipes will be joined together, ultra water tight. 25/6/08
	The 11th hole is now closed. This 20 tonne excavator is extending the haul road across the 11th green and down to the middle of the 11th fairway. 25/6/08
	Inside the 20,000 litre wet well. This photo shows the base of the pump, rising main pipe, guide rails (to lower and raise the pump) and the internal access ladder. 25/6/08
	Mark O'Sullivan helping to lower the pump into the wet well. It weighs approx 650kg and is lowered by a hydraulic excavator into the wet well. 25/6/08
	The Pump is lowered into the wet well using the guide rails. Note the large electrical wires and thinner control wires. 25/6/08

	The access road to the dam down the middle of the 11th fairway. 25/6/08
	The 5th tee is being laser levelled. The tripod in the background houses the laser device which automatically adjusted the bar behind the rear wheels of the machine leaving a perfectly smooth surface. 26/6/08
