ROCKINGHAM – WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Turning Waste into Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future

The Rockingham Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plant Project is a landmark development in Australia’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainable waste management. By converting non-recyclable waste into electricity, the Rockingham facility plays a crucial role in reducing landfill use, lowering carbon emissions, and delivering clean energy to local communities and industries.

KDT Industry supported this project by delivering structural steel fabrication, silos, feeding hoppers, storage tanks, and auxiliary equipment, enabling the Rockingham plant to operate with world-class efficiency, durability, and sustainability.
