A new hybrid renewable power station has been constructed at Lynas Rare Earths’ Mount Weld operation in Western Australia. The project comprises four turbine generators, a solar PV farm and a battery energy storage system integrated within a wind farm.

The scope of works supported the asset owner’s transition from diesel to hybrid gas and renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Reinforcement materials, including processed reo bar and stock reo bar, were supplied as part of the construction program. Plascorp supplied concrete reinforcing materials manufactured to tight tolerances to meet the project’s specific requirements.

Foundation works were delivered in a remote environment where reliability, coordination and sequencing were essential. Turbine installation specifications required every footing to be constructed to precise tolerances.

In total, 232 tonnes of processed reo and 43 tonnes of stock bar were delivered to the site, located more than 900 kilometres from Perth. All product was tailored to the needs of the hybrid power station and the four wind turbines.

Plascorp provided scheduling support to maximise installation efficiency and coordination on site. Technical advice was also provided to optimise the use of concrete reinforcing materials, maintain structural integrity and align with project timelines.

Close collaboration with on-site teams and quality control ensured all materials conformed to project specifications and standards. In total, 275 tonnes were supplied, contributing to the successful installation and long-term performance of the power station’s infrastructure.
