Peak Hill Solar Project

Integrated Delivery with Early Supplier Involvement

Client Workshops

Tranex Power entered very significant planning sessions with Enerparc and their consulting company approx two months before the construction phase of the project started. This included a number of workshops between relevant suppliers and contractors to ensure that any potential interface was mapped and planned in intricate detail.

Supplier Involvement

We then worked extensively with key suppliers such as Array Technologies in the design phase – it was identified at this point that due to the corrosive ground conditions that longer piles would be required to counter these conditions. Our construction team was able to quickly pivot, offering a pile supply solution with double the galvanising thickness than standard piles, therefore negating the need for longer piles and saving our client significant costs in steel and shipping.

Principal Contractor Role

Under our Principal Contractor role, daily reporting and contractor meetings where implemented ensuring smooth interface of works between all Contractors and that relevant Stakeholders remained continually informed on project progress. There was a delay with commissioning, due to a delay in Connection Agreements between the developer and network provider.

As a result, our construction team implemented a strategy in conjunction with Enerparc to minimise site cost overruns by reducing site resources without compromising quality and safety, to ensure that the projects where delivered in line with the original budget.
