- Bulk earthworks and turbine earthworks across five work zones, including cut, fill, haul roads and mass-haul logistics.
- Construction of access tracks and hardstands.
- Construction planning and pricing support for 52 wind turbine foundations.
- Drainage works including table drains and minor drainage crossings.
- Two major bridge and culvert crossings at Shaw River and Back Creek, including temporary water management, cofferdams, bypass pipes, turbidity testing and environmental compliance.
- Temporary site enablement works including temporary access pavement, site compounds, amenities, temporary stock fencing, batch plant and compound removal or rehabilitation.
- External road upgrades across approximately 5 km and six intersection locations.
