Energy and Water

TSA Riley was engaged to manage all elements of this complex multidisciplinary project based in regional Port Augusta, South Australia. Our team managed the delivery of the overall project including the management of construction and commissioning and system-wide integration and start-up from inception to operational handover. TSA Riley supported Sundrop Farms in transitioning the business from a construction project to an operational facility and self-performed all greenhouse fit-out activities. TSA Riley and Sundrop Farms were successful in delivering a world-first, highly complex, renewable energy project along-side a tier 1 EPC contractor in regional South Australia. This landmark project was completed on time and within budget.

The project scope included the development of twenty hectares of climate controlled, world class greenhouse infrastructure in addition to a 40 MWth concentrated solar thermal power plant delivering heat energy and electricity to the facility.  The solar field comprises over 23,000 mirrors that track the sun and a 125m high tower and solar receiver unit. Greenhouse irrigation and cooling water is supplied from the adjacent Spencer Gulf with up to 1ML of seawater desalinated per day.

The project was highly innovative in delivering a world-first facility offering a significant reduction in carbon emissions and operating costs in comparison to conventional commercial scale greenhouses. The plant currently employs nearly two hundred people and provides widespread benefits to the local community, the horticultural industry and the environment.

Powering Sydney’s Future (PSF) involved the delivery of a new underground electricity cable, and upgrades to 3 substations. PSF aimed to deliver reliable energy supply across Sydney and included:

• 20 kilometers of new 330kV underground cable
• a new cable to connect substations at Potts Hill and Alexandria
• an upgrade to substations at Potts Hill, Alexandria and Picnic Point.

TSA Riley was embedded in the roles of Project Controls Lead, Risk Manager, Project Scheduler and Project Engineer. We successfully contributed to the implementation of numerous robust, up-to-date, and user-friendly tools, systems, procedures, and documentation to assist the PSF project in construction delivery.

Our team also progressed a number of stagnant issues through to completion, as directed by the Project Director.

TSA Riley is project managing the delivery of the design and construction of a new 27,500m³ water reservoir complex for Napier City Council. It is a critical and integral part of Napier City’s water supply network. The existing reservoir, constructed in c1938, was not designed or configured to meet current standards or enable the appropriate water quality and safety management and is at the end of its useful life. In its place, three 9,150m³ tanks are planned to replace the ageing infrastructure to cater for future population growth.

This project has offered a unique opportunity for collaborative design with local mana whenua. As it is situated at the historically and culturally important site of Matāruahou, it presents an ideal setting to honour and share its rich history. This approach underlines our commitment to respecting and integrating the history and culture of the local iwi into our project, creating a functional and meaningful space.
