CATCON have an impressive project portfolio in the power sector with the proven capability to work across regional and remote Australia. CATCON have undertaken major civil construction works for significant and large scale power related projects, including: Renewables (wind farms, solar & hybrid), gas fired power stations and transmission works.
Our skilled teams have the hands-on expertise to undertake the design and construction, and construction only of civil works associated with power projects, across greenfield and brownfield sites. CATCON mobilise our own people, plant and equipment for the project life-cycle.
We have in-house capability to design, project manage, and carry out the construction utilising our multi-skilled workforce, and to take on the responsibility of Head Contractor, or partner in Joint Venture and Consortium relationships.
CATCON were contracted to complete civil works associated with the 500MW combined cycle power located at Pelican Point, Outer Harbour, South Australia.

The 8 month project involved adhering to a very tight programme and interfacing […]
The “Quarantine Island” Power Station is located on Torrens Island, Adelaide, South Australia. CATCON were contracted by Alstom Power to supply civil works for the project, including; earthworks, construction of concrete structures, service installations and road works. While constructing the 3000m3 concrete elements – including 4 turbine basses – special care and consideration were required […]
Located 35km West of Goulbourn (NSW), the Cullerin Range Wind Farm Project was a balance of plant contract carried out in consortium with Areva T&D. The project consisted of the design and construction of gravity concrete turbine bases, road and hardstand network, installation of cable network, construction of the civil works associated with a substation […]
CATCON were contracted to supply in-ground structures for all associated plant for the 2 x coal seam gas fired turbines. Additionally all in-ground services provision were supplied and installed by CATCON. System formwork was used for all Gas Turbine Blocks, Steam Turbine Block, HRSG and Diverters. Conventional formwork used for cooling tower, transformer bays, pits […]
When the ‘Playford B’ Coal Fired Power Station located at Pt Augusta (South Australia) required a thorough refurbishment, CATCON won the $4.5 million dollar contract to complete all associated civil works, including; construction of new concrete structures, retaining walls, piling, structural steel work and repair to existing concrete structures. Working within the partially operational power […]
The Colongra Gas Turbine project is located at Lake Munmorah Power Station near Doyalson – approximately 100km North of Sydney. The facility consists of 4 x GT13E2 gas turbines, generating 660MW of electricity, enough to power 400,000+ homes. During the 12 month construction project CATCON were contracted by head contractor Alstom Ltd under the direction […]
CATCON was contracted to construct 31 Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) foundations, access roads and adjoining crane hardstands. Ancillary features associated with such were concrete drainage pipes/headwalls, cattle grids, access gates and final rehabilitation (seeding). Works also included the installation of High Voltage (HV) and Optic Fibre Reticulation cabling, in line joints, terminations within WTG’s and […]
The Collgar Wind Farm scope of works for CATCON included the Geotechnical investigation, design and construction of 111 concrete wind turbine foundations and a 74 km road and hardstand network. The scope also included construction and maintenance of the project offices and amenities and all satellite facilities for 200 people. The Collgar site is located […]
The Waterloo Wind Farm is located 120kms North of Adelaide, South Australia. CATCON were contracted to design & construct 37 V90 Turbine footings, hardstands, roads, sub-station and control buildings. The terrain comprised of steep and narrow ridges and rock strata which required blasting and a host of machinery including; D9 Dozers, 80t Excavator, 30tn Excavators, […]
Switchyards and substations are important when connecting AC electricity to the power grid, especially when resourced from today’s environmentally significant advanced solutions for renewable electrical energy. The Cranbourne 500KV Substation civil works package involved concrete structures, pavements and earth grids and was constructed by CATCON as an interstate project for Areva T&D. Photo Gallery
