Gold Coast Desalination Plant (Qld, Australia)

GHD was initially engaged to identify alternative seawater desalination technologies as part of a scheme to meet the Gold Coast Council’s future water needs as outlined in its WaterFutures program.

Following this review, GHD undertook water quality analyses and developed preliminary concept designs for a 50Ml/d to 100Ml/d seawater desalination plant. The continuation of the drought had brought this project forward and GHD provided technical support to the procurement team to deliver the project. This project is now being delivered under an alliance contract.

As the world's demand for water grows and communities seek to reinforce their water supplies with non-climate dependent sources, desalination of brackish water or sea water has become an increasingly attractive option. GHD's work has included significant desalination projects in Australia, the USA and in the Middle East with plant capacities of up to 250Ml a day.

Our specialist team provides comprehensive services covering the desalination of saline water sources such as sea, estuarine and brackish water for municipal and industrial applications. We offer a multi-disciplinary approach to deliver cost-effective and innovative solutions that harness the latest advances in desalination technologies.
