Tadros Engineering played a pivotal role in the design and delivery of the Koodaideri Solar Farm—an ambitious renewable energy project developed for Rio Tinto to support its Koodaideri iron ore operations in the Pilbara region.
As the civil and structural engineers on this 34MW solar initiative, our team was responsible for comprehensive hydrology assessments, earthworks, and structural design. The solar farm comprises approximately 100,000 photovoltaic (PV) panels spread across 260 acres, generating significant energy output while supporting Rio Tinto’s decarbonisation strategy.
Our scope included:
- Hydrology analysis and stormwater design
- Bulk and detailed earthworks for solar array layout
- Structural engineering of solar panel foundations and associated infrastructure
- Collaboration with NRW throughout design and delivery phases
The project reduces carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 90,000 tonnes annually, showcasing Tadros Engineering’s commitment to sustainable, future-focused engineering solutions. Our work on the Koodaideri Solar Farm demonstrates our ability to deliver technically complex, large-scale infrastructure in remote environments—reinforcing our leadership in civil and structural engineering for renewable energy projects.
