Technical guidelines

Technical guidelines

Technical guidelines inform the designer of principles and practices to be applied to the construction and modification of our assets.

Guidelines cover the design of particular types of infrastructure (such as pumping stations) as well as systems (such as electrical and computer-based) and are applicable to all infrastructure types. It is intended that technical guidelines form part of the project contract documentation and the principles and practices they specify are contractually binding upon designers and constructors.
