Wyndham City Tarneit Road Public Lighting Project
March 21, 2020

Balpara was engaged by a civil consultant to provide public lighting design and electrical project management for the development of the new Tarneit Road and Hogans Road intersection. This project was part of Wyndham City Council’s larger duplication works. During the construction phase, Wyndham City Council also requested Balpara's auditing services, seeing us conduct the pre-final audit.

 

Project Overview

 

Wyndham City Council’s $6 million project saw the duplication of Tarneit Road in order to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion in the area.

 

As part of this project, a new major intersection was developed, which involved moving existing lighting poles to enable road construction, as well as the relocation of two major water mains that were situated centrally in the centre median, making pole placement challenging.


As well as providing public lighting design for the project in-line with Powercor standards, Balpara's team also provided auditing services, PM2 project management, aided in asset locating, and provided detailing and drafting expertise with the review of As-Built designs.

 

Project Scope

 

  • Assisting in Powercor acceptance of spread footing design for lighting poles located over water mains.
  • Reviewing the As-Built designs to identify anomalies to be rectified prior to re-audit.
  • Undertaking an independent audit to identify non-conformances.
  • Attending audits to assist in quick and streamlined rectification.
  • Reviewing VicRoads Standards to clarify various auditors’ queries.


Value Add

 

Balpara was able to lead thorough negotiations between Powercor, civil and electrical contractors and Wyndham Council, which included regular site meetings and visits. This facilitated the achievement of the Statement of Compliance for this long due lighting project.
