Chapter Four

In 1976, Transfield's fabrication workshops rapidly became among the largest in Australia and Seven Hills began a 10-year fabrication program to fulfil a series of major contracts with the Japanese giant I.H.I. for the supply of boiler structures, turbine houses and auxiliary structures for the Commission's three "new generation" power stations at Eraring, Bayswater and Mt Piper.

These contracts, involving the fabrication of 66,000 tonnes of steel, totalled in excess of $250 million and made Transfield, with its additional experience at Muja, Loy Yang and Port Augusta, an unrivalled leader in power station construction.
