Wyndham Vale Railway Station Reserve Lighting Project
December 18, 2019

Balpara was engaged by Wyndham City Council to conduct an asset inspection and assessment of the public lighting of the reserve footpath located next to Wyndham Vale Railway Station. This project was for the purpose of discouraging crime and increasing safety in the area.

 

Project Overview

 

As the reserve footpath located next to Wyndham Vale Railway Station was experiencing incidents of crime, the Council engaged Balpara to investigate the existing public lighting design along footpath.

 

Balpara completed a lux light reading that confirmed the dark spots in the reserve and identified that the footpath did not comply with Australian AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2005 lighting codes. Balpara then proposed an AS 300 compliant public lighting design solution that would achieve compliance and establish new lighting poles at the reserve entrance that would provide sufficient light to this critical location. This lighting design also aimed to minimise spend by recommending energy efficient lighting and spacing, resulting in a cost-effective solution.

 

Project Scope

 

  • Performing onsite lighting level tests to determine the effectiveness of the existing public lighting design.
  • Engineering a cost-effective, reliable public lighting design solution to reduce crime and increase safety.
  • Performing an electrical asset inspection and assessment of the site's existing power supply.
  • Proposing additional lights for perfect visibility along the footpath.
  • Developing a project management plan and project scope.


Value Add

 

Balpara effectively created a new code-compliant public lighting design for Wyndham City Council that will aid in reducing crime and making the area safer for pedestrians. This was done while minimising spend through the recommendation of energy efficient lighting and layout.

 

Relevant Accreditation/Quality Standards

 

  • All fields of work were conducted by persons with necessary training as laid out by the VESI Training Matrix, and complied with AS 3000 Lighting Design rules.
