## Engineering interpretation

The completed foundation facility has treatment capacity of up to 35 million litres per day; 70 million litres per day is the planned future capacity of the wider Upper South Creek scheme after expansion. Reverse osmosis recovers water, biosolids processing handles residual solids, and more than 40 km of pipelines carry treated water and brine. The 4 MW solar farm is part of the completed scope.

## Delivery responsibilities

A joint venture, alliance or integrated delivery arrangement distributes responsibility among organizations with different technical and contractual roles. The useful reference is the package each participant actually manages, designs or constructs. Interface registers and acceptance plans should connect those packages without erasing their boundaries. Work at a shared project is not proof that one firm owns the whole contract or completed every asset. Procurement and construction reviews should retain the named partners, the recorded milestone and the distinction between delivery participation and operation.
