RFQ - DETAILED DESIGN FOR ADDITIONAL UNDERSEA WATER PIPELINES

### 🌊 Project Overview The **Torres Shire Council (TSC)** is seeking a highly qualified consultant for the **detailed design of new undersea potable water pipelines**. This critical infrastructure project involves connecting Horn Island to Thursday Island and Thursday Island to Hammond Island. The initiative is designed to replace aging, single-line assets that currently lack redundancy, ensuring long-term water security and enabling significant housing growth in the Torres Strait region. ### 🛠️ Key Requirements & Scope The selected consultant will be responsible for a comprehensive suite of technical services, including: * **Detailed Design:** Delivery of construction-ready designs for two undersea pipelines. * **Technical Investigations:** Conducting geotechnical, marine, bathymetric, and feasibility studies. * **Modelling:** System-wide hydraulic modelling accounting for future population projections and housing developments. * **Project Planning:** Developing Class 3 cost estimates, staging strategies, and logistics assessments. * **Compliance:** Adherence to TSC standards, legislative requirements, and industry best practices. ### 🎯 Desired Outcomes The primary goal is to unlock the housing pipeline by providing scalable water infrastructure. Deliverables include future-proofed designs that mitigate public health risks and support strategic programs like the Remote Indigenous Housing Program. The project ensures that water services can scale alongside essential service needs and government expansion. ### 🔍 Search Keywords Undersea Pipeline Design, Water Infrastructure, Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Modelling, Torres Strait, Marine Geotechnical Investigation, Potable Water Systems, Queensland Government Tender, Infrastructure Redundancy.
