Offer description

HumeLink West Project

Two CIMIC Group companies, UGL and CPB Contractors have been selected by Transgrid to deliver the 130km western section of the HumeLink high voltage electricity transmission project.

It is one of Australia's largest energy infrastructure projects, with about 365 km of proposed new transmission lines and a range of other new and upgraded infrastructure.

The HumeLink West scope of works, worth $1.5bn, includes delivery of new 500kV double‐circuit transmission lines spanning 130 km from Wagga Wagga Substation to a new substation at Gugaa, the interface point with HumeLink East near Gundagai and a new substation at Maragle in the Snowy Mountains for future connection to Snowy 2.0.
