Over the last six years, Balpara’s surveying team has been extensively involved in this major government fire prevention initiative, seeing us work alongside Powercor across Western Victoria. Our experience in electrical engineering, asset location and assessment, detailing, drafting and electrical project management has seen our team sought out for the duration of this ongoing project.
Project Overview
Balpara has provided continued assistance in this ongoing program that involves removing hundreds of kilometres of dangerous or old overhead powerlines in ‘high risk’ bushfire areas. These are then replaced with high voltage underground electrical cables, installed using advanced drilling equipment with almost zero environmental impact or disturbance. These electrical cables are required to service entire regional suburbs in each project area. To date, Balpara has been involved in over 300km of underground electrical cable installation and is set to be involved in another large section throughout 2020.
