An overhaul of the Tasman Holiday Park Kioloa Beach hydraulics system is expanding the availability of freshwater for guests throughout the park and modernising fire fighting capabilities in case of future emergencies.
Located at the southern end of Shoalhaven and outside the township of Kioloa, water supply is an important consideration at the Kioloa Beach Holiday Park. Town water is not connected and so the Park’s water supply from the nearby damn, and also collected rainwater, needs to be closely managed for both guest comfort and fire-fighting supplies in case of emergency.
The current project is nearing completion two months ahead of schedule. Nearly 3km of new underground pipework has been laid and a new, state-of-the-art water pump kit will replace six older pumps throughout the holiday park. Having only one robust and powerful pumphouse for all potable water and the fire hose reel systems will make water management significantly more efficient for the Park going forward.
Parrish Group supplied and installed the new hydraulics system working in close association with Tasman Holiday Parks and the project engineers David Buckle and Associates.
According to Klint Rivett, Senior Development Manager at Tasman Holiday Parks, much of the success of the project is due to the thorough tender process to ensure the right team was assembled to deliver the project.
“The tender selection didn’t focus just on price, but also on technical requirements. Qualifications, experience, capacity and demonstrated ability to mange subcontractors was important. Good communication skills were crucial. And also the ability to identify risk and meet fire safety requirements.
“This is a civil-grade engineering project, which is unusual for a holiday park, but with a project of this size it is important to invest properly for a solution that will last into the future.”
Traditionally holiday parks grow without much formal planning through a succession of owners and limited availability of budget. This hydraulics overhaul project at the Kioloa Holiday Park puts the Park in good standing for future maintenance and continued work. Civil-grade infrastructure techniques have been employed, for example pipes have been buried deep and lines have electrical wiring to send a charge along for easily locating pipes in the future. Having reached completion of stage 1 of the project laying the new pipework and achieving fire compliance, the next stage will look at water supply tanks and filtration.
