Rio Tinto required new transmission and distribution infrastructure to support operations at its Kangaroo Hill site in Dampier, including expansion of bulk supply infrastructure and integration with existing network assets.
The project involved delivering new high-voltage transmission and distribution infrastructure while modifying existing electrical assets and removing redundant infrastructure.
The works required integration across transmission, substations and distribution infrastructure to support long-term operational requirements across the Dampier network.
Genus was awarded a contract by Rio Tinto for the design and construction of a 220kV transmission line and substation, together with associated 33kV distribution infrastructure.
The project continues Genus’ long-standing relationship with Rio Tinto and builds on the company’s capability across transmission infrastructure, substations and distribution delivery.
As noted by GenusPlus Managing Director David Riches:
“We were pleased to secure the Kangaroo Hill contract and continue to build on our long relationship with Rio Tinto. We look forward to completing the works safely and on time.”
