Lake Margaret Hilltop Pipeline, West Coast
Helicopter with a load of steel bands for the new Alaskan Yellow Ceder wood-stave pipeline.
The Lake Margaret Hydro-Electric Power Scheme was built between 1912 to 1914, and included a woodstave pipeline to connect the dam to the pressure penstock feeding the power station. The original woodstave pipeline was replaced in 1937 by another constructed from locally sourced King Billy Pine. That pipeline remained in service until 2006, when safety concerns caused it to be taken out of service. Community pressure lead to the scheme being heritage listed in 2006. Hydro Tasmania committed to keeping the power station in service in its original form, including construction of a replacement woodstave pipeline.
Hazell Bros Group, teamed with JMG Engineers and Planners, won the D&C contract for the new woodstave pipeline, with materials for the woodstave pipeline being supplied by International Tank & Pipe Co. of Portland, Oregon, USA.
