Having proven our ability to deliver multi-discipline capital projects with high-quality and exceptional client outcomes, Stanmore engaged Waterline to support them with their Power Station project at South Walker Creek.

Impressed by our team’s customer-centric focus and high quality engineering and project management, Stanmore Resources engaged our team to support them with pre-feasibility level Engineering support to provide integration project services and engineering design for items outside of the battery limits of their vendors’ scopes.

Our owner’s mindset delivers mutual success

Our site experience coupled with our theoretical knowledge, enables us to see the bigger picture, ensuring we deliver the best outcome for your operation.

We have extensive experience in supporting mining operations with projects to support mine ventilation, gas management and decarbonisation requirements. Which is one of the many reasons our client Stanmore turned to Waterline to ensure their new Power Station at South Walker Creek would be delivered successfully.

South Walker Creek Power Station

Stanmore is undertaking several decarbonisation projects, with one being the installation of a gas power station at their South Walker Creek mine site. This power station is to be supplied gas via a new borefield.

Stanmore engaged several vendors to develop the gas drainage, reticulation system and power plant, and approached Waterline for pre-feasibility level Engineering support to provide integration project services and engineering design for items outside of the battery limits of the vendors’ scopes.

This phase of the project required a level of Engineering design to be undertaken to provide a +/- 20% cost estimate and supporting execution plan for project approval.

Waterline focused on delivering the scope of works over four phases.

Waterline undertook extensive planning, risk assessments, and a methodical approach to civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical integration, incorporating input and reviews from all stakeholders including TEC, Enernet, and Stanmore. Waterline also designed all necessary components including access roads, water management systems, and power supply lines to holistically execute the project.

Waterline successfully delivered the following elements:

Site inspection
Integrated capital cost estimate
Integrated project schedule
Project risk assessment
Project execution plan
Bore field access road arrangement and sections
Bore field water management layout, tie in and footing drawings
Power station pad design drawing
Power station access road layout and sections

The project is still underway and our multi-discipline team continues to support our client to successfully deliver this project.

I was impressed with Waterline’s client-centric approach, keeping me informed on the progress of the project and seeking ways to deliver improvements that achieved mutual success.
