Project Overview

Westforce was engaged by Downer Group to carry out civil works at Roy Hill Substation, Christmas Creek Substation and Solar Farm, and Cloudbreak locations. The project involved construction of a new 60MW solar photovoltaic (PV) generation facility at Fortescue Metals Group’s Chichester Hub iron ore operations, along with a 60-kilometer transmission line linking Fortescue’s Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak mining operations in the Pilbara.

The transmission line also connects the FMG mines to Alinta’s existing 145MW gas-fired Newman Power Station and its 35MW battery storage system. As the main offtaker of the project, Fortescue has reduced diesel consumption by approximately 100 million liters annually.

  • Substation footings, including transformer bunds
  • Gantry foundations
  • Installation of electrical conduits
  • Pavement installation and compaction
  • Stormwater drainage
  • Trenching, backfill, and compaction for conduits, earth grid, and HV cable trenches
