CPB Contractors and UGL, both CIMIC Group companies, are continuing to deliver the western section of the HumeLink high voltage electricity transmission project for Transgrid.
Enabling works are well underway to facilitate construction beginning later this year of 140kms of 500kV transmission lines. The transmission line, located in regional NSW, will run from the Snowy 2.0 Pumped Storage Power Station connection at Maragle to Wagga Wagga and include a connection with HumeLink East, at Wondalga.
Civil works commenced in January with the establishment of access points at Gregadoo on the outskirts of Wagga Wagga and have since progressed as far east as Batlow.
These works have mainly involved the establishment of project access points off public roads, installation of site access tracks and the preparation of material, equipment and machinery storage compounds.
Civil works for the laydown and storage compound at Gugaa to the east of Wagga Wagga are complete. The facility is large enough to store 50 transmission towers and associated materials.
Humelink West Project Director, Tim Burns said: "The successful commencement of enabling works came down to meticulous planning and strong collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors.
"We are now preparing for the start of our substantial construction program which will gear up from mid-2025".
