Snowy 2.0 is an extension of NSW’s landmark civil Snowy Hydro project, a nation-building renewable energy project that will provide on-demand energy and storage for generations to come.
To support the efficient construction and maintenance of Snowy 2.0 assets, a factory at Cooma will produce 130,000 precast concrete segments to line a 27km tunnel. We were engaged to prepare a section of land to create a segment laydown for the factory.
Undertaking detailed earthworks for the precast facility, we were originally tasked with stripping topsoil, cutting and filling, constructing subsurface drainage, and installing a clean water diversion drain and sediment basin.
Impressed with our efforts, during the completion of bulk earthworks, we were also awarded additional packages worth $4.8m, including the construction of the site entry road and 1800,000m2 of flexible paving doubling the value of our original scope.
With up to 60 Symal team members on-site, mostly local workers, this was very much a team effort, and a project delivered by the community, for the community.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Symal acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, sea and water. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples whose cultural practices continue today.
