Balpara was engaged by Daly’s Constructions to provide an electrical design for the installation of ten 66kV circuits at the Waratah Place Zone Substation.
Project Overview
Balpara was selected for this project due to our electrical engineering expertise, which is demonstrated in our ongoing success on the Melbourne Security project for Daly’s Constructions and CitiPower.
The new Waratah Place substation forms a major part of the Metro and CBD Security of Supply project, which is intended to meet increased demand from residential and commercial growth, as well as improve the reliability of the supply.
Following our initial work with Daly’s Constructions on this project, Balpara was engaged to work with CitiPower to complete the new substation design, which involved providing electrical detailing and drafting services, alongside our 3D laser scanning, which can provide enormous quantities of data to within +/- 1mm accuracy levels when required.
Project Scope
Value Add
By overlaying the 3D model with the 3D point cloud, we identified that previously designed ventilation ducts would not meet utility clearance standards. This finding ultimately saved the project significant construction and materials costs.
