Balpara was engaged by WSP to survey and devise an electrical design for the relocation of overhead powerlines, as part of a large residential apartment development in Melbourne’s inner suburbs. Following consultation with United Energy, we were contracted to provide construction and project management services for the undergrounding of 22kV line and UE fibre optic cable.
Project Overview
The Balpara team was engaged by WSP to survey 66kV/22kV overhead powerlines to determine sag and sway, and to devise a conventional overhead powerline design. These actions were necessary due to the powerlines close proximity to a new multi-million dollar development.
Our electrical engineering team devised an electrical design that was approved by United Energy. Subsequently, the developer asked us to provide quotes for overhead powerline construction. Balpara successfully secured the construction and project management components of the project to relocate the overhead powerlines. For the next phase, we’ve been engaged to provide electrical design, feature surveying, construction and project management services for the undergrounding of the 22kV line and UE fibre optic cable along Dandenong Road.
