Southern seawater alliance desalination plant - shore crossing

The Southern Seawater Desalination Plant (SSDP) is located near Binningup in Western Australia. It was designed and constructed for the Water Corporation by The Southern Seawater Alliance (SSWA). SSWA contracted ZÜBLIN to provide underground Shore Crossing tunneling solutions for the Southern Seawater Alliance during the construction phase of the Desalination Plant. ZÜBLIN was selected based on its extensive international tunneling experience and also considering its previous involvement in a project undertaken for the Water Corporation.
