Civil infrastructure for thermal energy projectcs
Westforce supports the delivery of Australia’s thermal energy generation network through integrated civil works across coal-fired and gas-fired infrastructure. From baseload power stations to auxiliary thermal systems, our team supports both early-stage civil packages and late-phase facility upgrades.
We deliver civil works for thermal developments including foundations, access infrastructure, and below-ground services. Our experience includes trenching, excavation, detailed and bulk earthworks, drainage systems and hardstands across greenfield and brownfield thermal projects.
Our teams mobilise quickly, operate within restricted zones, and deliver with tight control over quality, safety and staging. We support mechanical and electrical contractors with integrated foundation and subgrade works that streamline later-phase SMP and commissioning activities.
Westforce has also delivered pads, culverts, laydowns and access tracks to support permanent infrastructure, heavy transport corridors and construction village requirements. Whether expanding operational sites or supporting new energy builds, we maintain control over interface risk and reduce delivery friction in high-pressure environments.
Interface control and trade coordination
Thermal sites involve dense trade activity and precise sequencing. We structure our work to integrate tightly with SMP and electrical scopes, enabling smoother transitions between disciplines. Our site teams manage sequencing, hold points and access in a way that keeps commissioning goals in view throughout construction.
Design coordination and interface risk are actively managed, particularly around major services and heavy-lift areas. Westforce’s in-house project and site leaders operate in close partnership with clients and subcontractors to ensure clear lines of responsibility, timely issue resolution, and consistent QA.
Compliance, safety and environmental performance
Thermal energy construction demands strong governance and rigorous adherence to standards. Westforce delivers under accredited safety and quality systems, and with a strong focus on environmental compliance. This includes erosion and sediment controls, haul road dust suppression, and waste and spoil management that aligns with plant-specific constraints.
