Transmission & Distribution

Transmission & Distribution

A National Provider of Electrical Infrastructure Solutions Backed by Decades of Experience, a Culture of Innovation and Industry-Leading Safety & Quality.

We are specialists in the design, procurement and construction of high and low voltage infrastructure including overhead and underground distribution and transmission lines, substations, switchyards and associated assets.

Fundamental to our project management strategy is our ability to work collaboratively with clients through each phase of the project, efficiently and to the highest standard.

Our clients include Australia’s largest electricity utilities, infrastructure developers, telecommunications networks and major mining companies. We have delivered projects throughout Australia and across metropolitan, regional & remote areas.

Our in-house operations and maintenance teams are involved throughout design and construct phases, optimising operational performance.

Feasibility & Constructability

A successful project begins with a firm foundation at the planning & feasibility stage. we offer feasibility & constructability studies to assist our major clients.

Our studies objectively and rationally analyse the strengths and weaknesses of a prospective project strategy - before entering the tendering process.

Decades of experience deliver unique insights in identifying potential risks and mitigation options for even the most complex projects.
