Grand Central Estate Tarneit
September 22, 2020

Balpara was engaged to work on Grand Central Estate, a large multi-stage land and urban development project located in Tarneit. Balpara was asked to provide electrical engineering services, NBN design, URD design, street light design, PM2 project management, detailing and pre-Powercor auditing services.

 

Project Overview

 

With significant investment, this high-profile residential and commercial estate required Balpara to assist in upgrading Sayers Road, transition existing overhead powerlines to underground, ensure the development was NBN ready and design public lighting for a major road at signalised intersections.

 

This was a complex project requiring Balpara to negotiate on behalf of three major developers, alongside the council and utilities to resolve external issues.

 

Project Scope

 

  • Complete comprehensive initial broad-scale Underground Reticulation Design (URD Design) that took into account the neighbouring estates.
  • Underground electrical and NBN pit and pipe infrastructure design to make the development fibre-ready, allow NBN access as required, and to maintain clearance from other assets.
  • Provide PM2 project management to resolve construction issues and negotiate with the utility for the separation of the Sayers Road works, so as not to delay titles for stages.
  • Design of major road lighting at signalised intersections in line with VicRoads and Council standards.
  • Provide drafting, detailing and VEDN auditing with site visit timeframes determined by the developer.


Value Add

 

Balpara was able to offer a range of services to the client, effectively fast-tracking the process. Our auditing and detailing services allowed us to quickly identify issues and implement resolutions that kept the project on track.

 

Relevant Accreditation/Quality Standards

 

  • Electrical project management and negotiations by accredited PM2 mangers. Public Lighting to AS 1158 Aust/NZ. Electrical design to Powercor Standards and NBN design to NBN Standards.
