Aramara to Maryborough 132kV power line project

image

Ergon Energy Corporation Ltd wants to construct a new 32km-long, dual circuit 132 kV overhead power line between Aramara and Maryborough in Queensland. The new power line will assist in meeting the increasing electrical load growth in the Maryborough and Hervey Bay areas.

GHD has been commissioned by Ergon Energy to prepare an initial and final assessment report and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed construction of the new power line.

Electricity Cable Tunnel

GHD has explored options for electricity supply to the Sydney CBD. Options including overhead cables and trenches were examained, but a tunnel was recommended to avoid disruption to the surface and to the community.

The 1.5 km tunnel between Surry Hills and Haymarket was constructed using a roadheader driven method. GHD provided project and construction management services and was involved at all stages of the four-year project, including options analysis, preliminary geotechnical investigation, concept design, D&C contract documentation, tender assessment, risk management analysis and environmental impact assessment.
