Project Overview
Survey expertise in practice.
Culhig Surveying was engaged by TCD to provide surveying, machine control and UAV support for the Power Transmission Project between the Lamba Substation and Christmas Creek Mine. The project formed part of Fortescue's renewable energy network, involving the construction of access tracks, power pole pads and substation earthworks to support a new 220 kV transmission line corridor.
DELIVERY
Our role on the project.
- Stake-out and verification of LUC boundaries and heritage exclusion zones.
- Set-out of access tracks, power pole pads and associated earthworks.
- Preparation and management of machine control models for construction equipment.
- UAV surveys and aerial data capture for progress monitoring and quantity verification.
- Conformance surveys and reporting throughout construction.
- Survey control establishment and maintenance.
- Volume calculations and survey reporting to support project delivery and claims.
- As-constructed surveys and handover documentation.
OUTCOME
Delivery that makes a difference.
- Supported the construction of approximately 120 km of access tracks and 240 power pole pad locations across multiple operational mining areas.
- Delivered accurate machine control models and survey control, enabling efficient earthworks production and minimising rework.
- Successfully managed LUC and heritage boundary set-out, ensuring compliance with environmental and cultural heritage requirements.
- Provided regular UAV surveys and conformance reporting to support quality assurance and project progress tracking.
- Contributed to the successful delivery of critical infrastructure supporting Fortescue's decarbonisation and renewable energy objectives.
