The Goldfields Gas Pipeline (GGP) is a 1378km transmission pipeline that extends from Yarraloola, in the Pilbara region (NW Western Australia) to Kalgoorlie, in the Goldfields-Esperance region (SE Western Australia). The GGP delivers natural gas from Carnarvon Basin producers to customers along the length of the pipeline, primarily for use in ...
The Golden Pipeline is the main water pipeline between Mundaring and Kalgoorlie, spanning some 560 kilometres. The pipeline was completed in 1903 and forms part of C Y O'Connor's Goldfields Water Supply Scheme (GWSS).
The 44km Kalgoorlie to Kambalda Pipeline (KKP) is a transmission pipeline transporting gas from the Kalgoorlie South outlet of the Goldfields Gas Pipeline (mainline) to Kambalda for mining and minerals processing and for delivery of gas into the Kambalda to Esperance Gas Pipeline. Construction of the KKP was completed in 1996.
The pipes had not been trialed on a large scale, and more than 60,000 pipes, each 762 mm and 8.5 metres in length, were required. The Scheme was divided into eight sections, each of which had its own steam pump station, which enabled the water to be moved with greater efficiency.

The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme is a pipeline and dam project that delivers potable water from Mundaring Weir in Perth to communities in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields, particularly Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie.The project was commissioned in 1896 and completed in 1903. The pipeline continues to operate today, supplying water to over 100,000 people in …
The Goldfields Gas Pipeline (GGP) is a 1,378-kilometre transmission pipeline that extends from Yarraloola, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, to Kalgoorlie, in the Goldfields-Esperance region. The 47-kilometre Newman lateral is also part of the GGP.
Building a Pipeline. By 1895 it was clear that the problem of supplying water to the growing population on the goldfields required a radical solution. It took the brilliant mind of Engineer-in-Chief, Charles Yelverton O'Connor, to come up with the solution; however, his proposal was met with disdain from many.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder historian Tim Moore said the pipeline enabled a boom for the WA Goldfields and put an end to deaths from the waterborne diseases found in the unsafe groundwater supply.

The Kalgoorlie to Kambalda Pipeline (KKP) is a transmission pipeline which transports gas from the end of the Goldfields Gas Pipeline (at Kalgoorlie South) to a nickel refinery at Kambalda, and to the inlet of the Kambalda to Esperance Gas Pipeline. Construction of the KKP, which comprises 44 km of high pressure steel pipe, was completed in 1996.

Leaving Kalgoorlie, the pipeline becomes a constant companion on the long, otherwise fairly tedious drive along the Great Eastern Highway to Perth. It's in full view, elevated above ground, and ...
Water pipeline from Perth to Kalgoorlie: 1894 -1903 16 March 2016 In this day and age of water shortages, requiring new water pipelines, it is extremely interesting to look back to the end of the nineteenth century and examine how C. Y. O'Connor's ambitious Coolgardie Water Scheme overcame the political and engineering hurdles involved.
