Improved mobile connectivity for Esperance: a 60 m greenfield tower, off-grid.

No existing infrastructure. No grid power. A remote site in regional WA that still needed a telecommunications tower built, powered and commissioned end-to-end.

LocationEsperance region, Western Australia
ScopeGreenfield EPC - site acquisition, design, construction, integration, commissioning
Structure60 m telecommunications tower
PowerOff-grid hybrid solar, paired with radio transmission

APD Global is delivering this project greenfield - from site acquisition and design, through construction, integration and commissioning. The tower itself is powered by a hybrid solar solution paired with radio transmission, engineered to keep the site reliably on-air without a grid connection.

It's a good snapshot of what regional telecommunications infrastructure actually takes: sites like this aren't always straightforward builds, and off-grid power is often the difference between a project being viable or not.

The outcome, though, is simple - better mobile coverage for the Esperance region, and better access to the emergency services, healthcare and connectivity that come with it.

What APD Global delivered

  • Site acquisition and greenfield design for a 60 m telecommunications tower
  • Off-grid hybrid solar power engineering - no grid connection required
  • Construction, integration and commissioning, end-to-end under one EPC scope

The same delivery model runs through APD's EPC & EPCM practice and telecommunications design and construct - one house from the first site visit to on-air.
