Grand Central Estate Tarneit

Balpara was engaged to work on Grand Central Estate, a large multi-stage land and urban development project located in Tarneit. Balpara was asked to provide electrical engineering services, NBN design, URD design, street light design, PM2 project management, detailing and pre-Powercor auditing services.

Project Overview

With significant investment, this high-profile residential and commercial estate required Balpara to assist in upgrading Sayers Road, transition existing overhead powerlines to underground, ensure the development was NBN ready and design public lighting for a major road at signalised intersections.

This was a complex project requiring Balpara to negotiate on behalf of three major developers, alongside the council and utilities to resolve external issues.

Project Scope

Complete comprehensive initial broad-scale Underground Reticulation Design (URD Design) that took into account the neighbouring estates.
Underground electrical and NBN pit and pipe infrastructure design to make the development fibre-ready, allow NBN access as required, and to maintain clearance from other assets.
Provide PM2 project management to resolve construction issues and negotiate with the utility for the separation of the Sayers Road works, so as not to delay titles for stages.
Design of major road lighting at signalised intersections in line with VicRoads and Council standards.
Provide drafting, detailing and VEDN auditing with site visit timeframes determined by the developer.

Value Add

Balpara was able to offer a range of services to the client, effectively fast-tracking the process. Our auditing and detailing services allowed us to quickly identify issues and implement resolutions that kept the project on track.
