Project Overview
McMahon Services entered into a contract in 2013 with SA Power Networks (South Australia’s electricity distribution company), and indirectly Electranet (the transmission operator supplying SA Power Networks).
In that time we have completed over 260 work requests under the contract. The contract, originally spanning over three years has been extended for another two due to client satisfaction.
The contract was established by SA Power Network to ensure minimal environmental harm as a consequence of their activities. This is achieved through prompt environmental incident response which further strengthens SA Power Networks environmental performance.
McMahon Services self-deliver all works as part of the contract, however we do have a list of approved sub-contractors to use if needed.
