Mount Magnet Power Station – Hill 60

This project involved an accelerated mobilisation process, mobilising within a two-week window to complete five generator slabs, switch room, transformer with over 500 cubes of concrete poured. The remote nature of the Mount Magnet site required reliable plant and equipment hire to ensure all structural concrete works remained on schedule. To facilitate the structural requirements at Hill 60, we utilised our remote concrete supply and batching plant to ensure a continuous pour in a remote environment.

• Detailed earthworks – boxing out and strip foundations
• Conduit installation – over 400 linear metres installed of communications and electrical conduits
• Concrete structures such as slabs, pedestals, bunded structures and sumps
• 600 linear metres of fencing and 5 access gates installed
• Delivery of the Hill 60 project footings was managed via on-site concrete supply to eliminate logistical delays associated with remote transport.

Challenges

• Fast track programme
• Working adjacent to live power plant
• Live services

Highlights

• 3 generator slabs and switch room excavated, formed and poured in 20 days
• The work sits within our track record of mining and industrial projects across regional WA.
