BUSHFIRE MITIGATION

PROJECT SCOPE

Balpara provided electrical design and drafting to support Powercor's

bushfire mitigation plan. Our involvement ensured the

delivery of Armor Rods and Dampers to all poles within high

risk fire regions, minimising fire risk and the likelihood of outages.

SOLUTIONBalpara’s more expensive solution to add two new poles and replace existing was selected as the higher Lux rating meant that pedestrians were easier to spot by incoming and outgoing busy.

SURVEYING

PROJECT SCOPE Balpara performs the overhead electrical survey, drafting & detailing services for AusNet’s conductor replacement project which is to replace old steel conductors with new and to replace all copper conductors with aluminium. The total project covers 150km.

SUBSTATIONS

THE PROJECTBalpara was engaged by Multipipe to GPS detail and draft 66kV related assets on the Richmond Terminal Substation (RTS).The multi-stage project required multiple site visits and substantial detailing, using GPS to ensure accuracy under challenging circumstances. Richmond Terminal Substation is owned by AusNet services and feeds both the CitiPower and United Energy networks.

DETAILING

PROJECT SCOPE Undergrounding of two new transmission

circuits between North Melbourne - Carlton.

Some impressive figures:

length of cable for 1 circuit 5.145 km 3 cables per circuit

total length of 1 circuit 15.435kmgrand total of all circuits 30.87km

The project uses 1,600mm squared 1c 66 kV Cu XLPE Prysmian cables
