Supporting the transformation of Australia’s transmission network

Supporting the transformation of Australia’s transmission network

Australia’s electricity transmission network is undergoing major change to support the renewable energy transition. Industry planning indicates that up to 10,000 kilometres of new transmission lines are required by 2050 to meet demand and integrate renewable generation.

Investments in interconnectors and Renewable Energy Zones is intended to support reshaping of the grid, improving reliability and delivery of renewable energy nationwide.

While opportunities in network expansion and grid modernisation are significant, projects can face challenges such as complex approvals, rising costs and delivery in remote regional locations.

We have provided services associated with major transmission related projects, including CopperString 2032, Project EnergyConnect, Humelink and others contributing technical expertise in areas such as workforce accommodation camp infrastructure, water and fire systems, and civil engineering.

Our approach

How we support transmission related projects

Practical design for remote environments

Practical design for remote environments

Our teams have extensive experience designing supporting infrastructure for projects in remote and challenging locations in Australia. From access track alignments and intersection upgrades to camp facilities and temporary works, our designs consider site constraints, environmental factors and constructability. We work collaboratively with principals and construction teams on solutions that seek to balance engineering requirements with on-ground delivery challenges.
Our industry credentials

Supporting transmission infrastructure delivery

We work with clients to understand the constructability challenges that can shape transmission related projects.

Temporary works for transmission related construction

Temporary works for transmission related construction

Transmission projects may require temporary works such as crane pads, laydown areas, site access platforms and construction support infrastructure. We work with construction contractors and asset owners to prepare practical temporary works designs for remote locations. Our approach focuses on understanding construction sequencing, equipment requirements and site constraints to prepare designs tailored to each project's unique conditions. Where appropriate, we can apply established design approaches promptly or develop site-specific designs for challenging terrain.

Transmission tower access and site infrastructure

Transmission tower access and site infrastructure

We design access tracks, access points and site infrastructure that help connect transmission tower locations to existing road networks. Our work can integrate civil design, 3D modelling and construction coordination to support practical solutions within agreed timeframes. We understand how access design ties to tower pad locations, crane pad requirements and construction sequencing. We can coordinate with stakeholders and support integrated project models to help identify potential issues early and support construction plannings.
