Balpara facilitated the Project Management, Design, Detailing and Auditing of a new internal electrical system for the new Australia Post Distribution Centre upgrade.

Project Overview

In order to optimise its delivery network to meet increased current and projected future demand, Australia Post is upgrading its Sunshine West Distribution Centre. The project involved the development of a new parcel distribution factory, and moving from low voltage (LV) to high voltage (HV) electrical supply, utilising a new internal system and grid. 

Balpara was engaged by Maxim Electrical & Infrastructure to complete the electrical design and auditing works, and provide electrical project management services that saw us liaise with Powercor to ensure smooth delivery of the project.
