Fabrication and maintenance for Western Downs renewables
The Western Downs is now one of Australia's busiest renewable energy regions, with large solar farms, wind farms and battery storage systems built or underway around Chinchilla, Miles and Jandowae. WJC brings local, certified trades to these projects.
How we support renewables projects
- Structural steel fabrication and installation to AS 1554.1
- Site fabrication, modifications and repairs
- Pipe, plate and pressure welding for associated plant
- Lift planning, dogging and rigging
- Mechanical fitting, installation and commissioning support
- Maintenance crews and breakdown response
Local trades for local projects
Projects in the region include the Western Downs Green Power Hub and Western Downs Battery near Chinchilla, the Columboola Solar Farm between Chinchilla and Miles, and the Wambo Wind Farm near Jandowae.
Using a Dalby-based contractor means lower travel and accommodation costs, faster call-outs and people who know the area.
