TCD project construction work in progress

Details

Description
Description

As part of Fortescue’s commitment to decarbonise its operations, new renewable green power electricity will be transmitted between sites using a dedicated 220KV overhead transmission network. TCD was contracted to undertake the major earthworks for access tracks, pads and substations to support this network between the Lamba Substation and Christmas Creek Mine.

Key Deliverables:
  • Vegetation clearing, grubbing, and stockpiling for 240 tracks and power pole pads over 120km
  • Construction of 2 new raised engineered embankment substation pads at Cloudbreak and Christmas Creek
  • Extensive borrow, cut and fill operations including grading, compaction, and final trim to design tolerances
  • Rail crossings, traffic management and operational integration measures

Works were delivered in close coordination with FMG stakeholders, minimising disruption to ongoing mine activities. Following successful completion, TCD was awarded a subsequent scope of comparable scale and complexity.

TCD project: Eliwana Eli10 communications pad

Details

Description
Description

TCD was engaged by Fortescue to deliver the construction of a communications pad at the Eliwana mine site. The project required mobilisation and haulage of material to a challenging elevated location.

Key Deliverables:
  • Clearing of vegetation and foundation compaction to establish a stable platform
  • Significant levelling works across the main pad and access track, addressing complex natural topography
  • Placement and compaction of approximately 8,000 m³ of material for pad and access road
  • Safe haulage of material through the active Eliwana mine with traffic management and coordination with FMG operations
  • Construction of rock chutes for effective drainage during heavy rainfall events

Delivered on time, safely, and to a high standard of quality despite challenging terrain and logistical demands.
