Eraring battery storage system

Summary

This project involved civil works for a greenfield Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to stabilise grid supply for the Eraring Power Station.

Project scope:

~Bulk earthworks,
~Stormwater and drainage
~Pavement and kerbing for a greenfield 700MW/2,800MWh grid connected BESS in two stages, stage 1 (460MW/1073MWh) and future stage 2 (240MW/1030MWh) on vacant land adjacent to the existing Eraring Power Station.

Highlights

The scope of works were increased to include the civil foundation works for a 330/33kV Transgrid substation adjacent to the BESS facility.
With wetter than average ground conditions, the incorporation of lime stabilisation has greatly promoted the program allowing subsequent pavement activities to follow.
Substantially large pavement areas placed concurrently with fleet of placement tools.
Introduction of specialised water treatment system required to treat unexpected contaminated site water.
