Project Overview

Westforce was engaged to deliver the civil balance of works for the installation of four new wind turbine generators (WTGs) at Lynas Rare Earths’ Mount Weld operation near Laverton, Western Australia.

The project forms part of Lynas’ transition to low-emission, off-grid power generation. Westforce’s scope included WTG foundation construction, site clearing, bulk earthworks, in-situ concrete works, and access road development across a remote project footprint.
