Mid – West LNG Plant

Project Description

Comiskey’s was engaged by Clean Energy Fuels Australia to undertake a critical project involving the supply and installation of precast and in-situ footings. The project was situated in the challenging terrain of Mount Magnet, Western Australia, and encompassed the development of footings for essential infrastructure components, including the LNG plant, power station, and switch rooms, alongside the installation of all associated underground services.

Scope of Works

Supply and Installation of Precast Footings: Supply and installation of a total of over 100 precast footings and in-situ slabs, totalling over 300 cubic meters in volume. Excavation and Backfill: Precise excavation and meticulous backfilling using cement-stabilised sand to ensure structural stability. Supply and Installation of underground service: Supply and install electrical conduits pre-lays throughout LNG plant. Resolved Challenges Despite facing several challenges during the project execution, Comiskey’s demonstrated resilience and resourcefulness to ensure successful project completion: Design Adaptations: One of the project’s standout achievements was the collaboration between Comiskey’s and the client to implement practical design changes. Initially, the project commenced with design plans that presented challenges in terms of constructability. Recognizing the need for realistic and efficient footing structures, Comiskey’s and the client worked together to refine the design, ensuring that the footings were not only achievable but also optimized for durability and functionality.
