Electrical Infrastructure Design

Once the Overall Estate Electrical Design was completed, a plan showing the full extent of conduit, electrical cabling, lighting and substations for each Estate Stage was delivered.

This Preliminary Plan was the basis from which electrical construction tenders could be sought.

The Preliminary Plan was drafted and a copy was forwarded to the client for feedback as well as to the local Municipality and VicRoads for lighting location approval. The Plan was then submitted to the Utility for approval.

Once approved by the Utility, an electronic copy of the plan was forwarded to the client as the final design.

Balpara was engaged by civil constructor, Directbor, to provide detailing and drafting services to connect the Kerang Solar Plant to the nearby Kerang Terminal Station. Project Overview The Kerang Solar Plant in Victoria is a BSR Energy project, which aims to generate enough clean and reliable energy to offset the annual consumption of approximately 16,000 homes, contributing to a more sustainable future while reducing reliance on traditional power sources. Construction commenced in March 2024, and is projected to save 66,380 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions annually. The land parcel is over 64 hectares in size, with the plan to visually integrate into the surrounding agricultural landscape with extensive planting of native flora around the entire project perimeter. The bell-mouth intersection off Lodden Valley Highway will be upgraded for improved accessibility and safety as part of this project. Scope Balpara’s involvement in the project was undertaken over the course of a month starting in August 2024, with Directbor engaging the team on behalf of Powercor. The Balpara team completed detailing and drafting of assets connecting the new Kerang Solar Plant to Powercor’s distribution network. Balpara employed GPS technology to accurately capture underground asset locations and create a comprehensive plan of assets within the short timeframe required. The project scope included: Capturing new underground asset locations to required standard using GPS equipment. Creating as-built plans of relevant assets to current Powercor standards. Providing captured 3D data to Powercor for future asset relocations. Value Add Balpara provided timely and accurate drawings and was able to quickly meet the needs of client variations. The Balpara team is well versed in working with all utility standards, including Powercor, which helped to streamline the project. Accreditations Powercor Standards
