BMD Constructions leaves lasting legacy through Crookwell 2 Wind Farm project
26 July 2018

Constructions is proud to have spent over 60% of our spend on the
Crookwell 2 Wind Farm project’s contract value within the Australian
Capital Region, reaffirming our commitment to supporting the local
communities in which we operate.
The 60% equated to over $12 million of spend within the Crookwell,
Goulburn and Marulan regions and almost $2.5 million within
Canberra and the Australian Capital Region.
Local and regional involvement was made up of direct spend through the
use of local
subcontractors primarily located within the Goulburn,
Marulan and Crookwell regions, direct employment through the creation of
two new-full time and one new part-time position, and local sponsorship
of community organisations within the Upper Lachlan community.
BMD Constructions is delivering the Crookwell 2
Wind Farm as part of a
consortium with
Consolidated Power Projects Australia (CPP), with the
project being delivered under a Balance of Plant (BoP) contract. The
combination of local spend by BMD Constructions and CPP exceeded the
consortium’s original commitment.
BMD is proud of the strong relationships formed with local suppliers and
community groups during the project’s construction and in addition to
financial involvement, have supported subcontractors to improve their
safety systems and documentation to not only ensure compliance with
BMD’s systems but also bring them in line with industry best practice.
BMD’s policy of engaging locally based suppliers and owner operators
maximises the opportunity for local input with flow on effects in the
training and development of locally based staff engaged on our projects.
The Crookwell 2 Wind Farm BoP contract comprised the
design and
construction of approximately 23 kilometres of gravel access tracks
including drainage, 28 concrete foundations for the wind turbines and
construction of crane platforms and hardstands. The design and
construction of electrical scope is being completed by CPP and includes
substation, equipment and
buildings.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of July 2018.
