Meales recently completed the Collgar Wind Farm Project (situated 25km East of Merredin, Western Australia) for Catcon.
Have successfully completed several wind farm projects for Catcon previously in NSW, with Collgar being the single largest wind farm project to date reliability was always going to be the key to a successful outcome.
111 wind turbine bases each taking 280m3, with additional works such as blinding layers saw 35,000m3 of concrete placed in just over 5 months.
A great job, with a great outcome for all involved. |

Due
to the shortage of water required to service the Coal Mining Industry
in the Bowen Basin, Sunwater is constructing a Pipeline to transfer water from Georges Weir (near Collinsville)
to Moranbah. The project involves the placement of approximately 15,000 Cubic Metres of concrete
into many structures over a 220 km distance.
Due
to the remoteness and lack of access, this job has required 1 to
2 pumps based onsite full time, with the support of 3 concrete plants
strategically placed along the pipeline. |
