Bundaberg Brewed Drinks recently opened their new facility, allowing for increased production of their iconic ginger beer and other non-alcoholic beverages. The greenfield facility included a new brewhouse, packing line, storage facilities and wastewater treatment plant as well as an innovation centre and laboratory.

The $150m facility was constructed on a greenfield site and TFG Group were pleased to be the primary installation contractor for this prestigious project. TFG Group were also selected as the primary contractor for the site’s Waste Water Treatment Plant. 

TFG were engaged in all phases of the project including the installation of:

• Water Treatment Tank Farm.
• Brewhouse.
• CIP area.
• Ginger Grinding Room.
• Powder Handling Room.
• Sugar dissolving Room.
• Air compressor room.
• All product and services throughout the plant including pipes, pipe racks, support structures,

TFG Group leveraged its large workshop space in Yatala, QLD to prefabricate a number of items for the project including valve manifolds, CIP plant, pipe spools, access walkways, platforms & pipe racks. By pre-fabricating these items, we were able to reduce site installation time and cost, while ensuring fitment and quality checks could be completed prior to transport.

TFG Group fabricated and installed 27 valve manifolds and pump skids for the project, complete with compressed air headers and drip trays. Each manifold was orbital welded, giving each weld a precise and consistent finish, then mounted into its own frame with adjustable feet for ease of installation.

In total, more than 12,000m of Stainless Steel pipe was used on the project. TFG prides itself on the highest standard of safety and this project demanded attention to detail and working with critical deadlines. The job was successfully completed with more than 60,000 man hours worked and 0 MTIs, 0 LTIs.
