Illawarra Engineering Services has been the preferred Mechanical Contractor of Energy Development Ltd since 1998.

IES had the capability and knowledge to effectively refurbish one of the Company’s existing Power Generation assets in-house, thereby significantly reducing the capital expenditure on the project.

Although small in footprint, the Grange Avenue had an extensive Stakeholder Management strategy. It was suburban and adverse reaction from the many sources could have seriously impacted the success of the project.

IES took great care to maximise every opportunity in portraying a modern source of renewable energy by engaging visitors to the site, open communication and education.

Construction techniques were curtailed, equipment was new and silenced, working times were not exceeded and the surrounding environment was rejuvenated by planting of new trees and turf.
