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 are being 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’s Involvement

Services we provided to this project:

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.
