About This Project

Cockburn ARC is home to one of Western Australia’s largest rooftop solar installation, with a massive 1MW system made up of 3,592 solar panels. To achieve this sustainable design, the Bridge42 team oversaw both the design and delivery of the system which generates approximately 48 per cent of the ARC’s annual power usage and a geothermal system. Cockburn ARC’s aquatic facilities are heated using a natural resource, geothermal energy. More than 3.8 million litres of water are heated by the geothermal system, saving approximately $500,000 per annum compared to a traditional gas boiler or electrical heating system. The system offsets 1,982 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.
