TCD – Cloud Break Solar Farm

Engineering surveying, machine guidance, UAV surveying and quantity verification for solar farm bulk earthworks in the Pilbara.
Project Overview

Survey expertise in practice.

Culhig Surveying was engaged by TCD to provide engineering surveying, machine guidance, UAV surveying and quantity verification services for the Cloud Break Solar Farm Bulk Earthworks Project in the Pilbara, Western Australia. The project supported the construction of a large-scale solar energy facility as part of Fortescue's renewable energy initiatives.

DELIVERY

Our role on the project.

  • Machine control and guidance bulk earthworks and trenches for culverts, including updating and redesigning machine models. Support provided for Leica, Trimble and Topcon machines.
  • Survey set-out and as-builts for 32 cable culverts, including the design of their trenches.
  • QA, verification and as-constructed surveys.
  • UAV surveys and aerial data capture.
  • Volume calculations and progress claim reporting.
OUTCOME

Delivery that makes a difference.

  • Delivered timely survey and machine guidance support throughout the project.
  • Aerial surveys identified significant remeasured quantities, resulting in increased scope and claims for TCD.
  • Provided accurate volume reporting and verification surveys to support monthly claims.
