Tarong North undergoes a mini-overhaul every two years (Photo: Stanwell)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 13, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett businesses will receive more than $500,000 from the current 17-day overhaul at the Tarong North Power Station.<\/p>\n

The money will go to motels and caterers in Yarraman, Nanango and Kingaroy which are providing beds and food for the nearly 230 contractors who are on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis $8 million mini-overhaul, along with the annual $20 million major overhaul at Tarong Power Station, is good news for the region,\u201d site manager Tarong Dennis Franklin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use specialised contractors who need to be housed and fed while they do repairs and maintenance to the generation units which produce electricity for Queensland,\u201d Mr Franklin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also ensure that the units operate efficiently and safely until the next scheduled overhaul.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tarong site consists of Tarong Power Station, which has four generation units; Tarong North Power Station, which has one generation unit; and Meandu Mine.<\/p>\n

Each of the five Tarong units has a major overhaul every four years and Tarong North has a mini-overhaul every two years.<\/p>\n

Major overhauls can provide even greater benefits for the community with up to 600 contractors staying locally from just a few days to several months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe South Burnett community knows about the full-time jobs that the Tarong Power Stations and Meandu Mine provide, but overhauls also give a big economic boost,\u201d Mr Franklin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
