Project Overview
The Western Sydney Green Gas Project is a landmark renewable energy facility focused on green hydrogen production and storage. This project plays a pivotal role in Australia’s transition to clean energy. Our work involved full Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems—ranging from design and installation to integration of energy-efficient systems critical to hydrogen production. Despite the technical and regulatory demands, we ensured everything was delivered on time, within scope, and compliant with national sustainability targets.
