Design process
Our engineers began by producing a preliminary route design based on:
- the functional requirements of the transmission line provided by the Australian Market Energy Operator
- community and stakeholder feedback combined with the findings of technical studies, field surveys and investigations
- understanding the existing conditions along the proposed route, while reducing impacts to agriculture and other land uses, residential areas, native flora and fauna, Aboriginal cultural heritage, landscapes and many other important factors.
We implemented over 100 design iterations from landholder and community feedback, technical specialist reviews and findings from surveys and investigations.
These changes are part of developing the proposed design in the Environment Effects Statement (EES). Further design changes may be required following the EES assessment and approvals processes.
Once all approvals are received, we’ll provide the design to our approved construction contractor.
