Beaconsfield Reconductoring Project
December 19, 2017

At Balpara, we deliver electrical engineering and surveying services to our clients across Australasia. For over forty years now, we have serviced the energy, resources, communications and land development industries. 

 

Balpara was engaged by AusNet Services to provide Overhead Electrical Surveying, Survey Design and Drafting Services as part of their major Electrical Conductor Replacement Program. 

 

Scope 

 

The Beaconsfield Region is the latest area in AusNet’s plan to remove all copper conductors from their distribution network. 

 

All copper was replaced with safer, stronger conductors which are made from a combination of aluminium and steel strands. To maximise project efficiency opportunities, old, rusty steel conductors were replaced with new, improved equivalents as part of the program. 

 

The extensive project area covers 150km of overhead line and Balpara has worked on 90km thus far. 

 

Balpara’sInvolvement 

 

Services we provided to this project included: 

  • Overhead Electrical Surveying 
  • Survey Design  
  • Drafting Services  

 

The information collected on site is conveyed to the office and included in our drawings during the drafting process. Once drawings are approved by AusNet Services, they are distributed for construction with technical guidelines set-out on the drawings to ensure the works are carried out correctly. 

 

ISO9001 | Our Commitment to Quality 

Balpara has held ISO9001 certification since 2011. We are committed to providing quality services and continuous improving our service quality to our clients.
