Event organised by The British Tunnelling Society
Kidston will be the world's first conversion of a gold mine into a hydroelectric pumped storage facility – setting a benchmark for similar conversions globally. It is also the first pumped hydro plant to be built in Australia since 1984.
This transformative project by renewable energy and storage company Genex Power, will be the cornerstone of a renewable energy zone (REZ) that will provide clean, cheap and firm power to the area.
The existing site comprises two gold mine pits with more than 100 years of operations. These pits will be converted into the top and bottom reservoirs for the Kidston pumped storage project.
Significant underground infrastructure, including a large powerhouse cavern, waterway shafts and tunnels to allow the transfer of water between the reservoirs will need to be engineered.
VINCI Construction Grands Projets put their expertise and culture of global performance at the service of their clients and communities throughout the world to design and build, in a sustainable and exemplary manner, the major infrastructure of tomorrow.
