Underbank Estate Sewer Pump Station
Sep 24, 2020

Balpara was engaged by Urban Design and Management to provide electrical engineering and design services to the Sewer Pump Station located in the Underbank Estate, Bacchus Marsh.


Our electrical engineering and design team was required to assess the electrical demand and requirements of the water utility, after which they were able to design a suitable electrical supply.

 

Project Overview

 

After the Underbank Estate’s electrical infrastructure works were constructed, the initial designs of the Sewer Pump Station changed. Balpara worked collaboratively with Powercor and the project team to come up with a solution that minimised re-work to the existing electrical supply while still providing efficient and effective supply for the sewer pump station.

 

Project Scope

 

  • Provide recommendations of asset relocation in accordance with AS3000 design rules.
  • Determine if switchboard capabilities were in-line with requirements for the development.
  • Conduct electrical supply investigation to the pump station.
  • Provide electrical project management services by working in collaboration with Powercor and civil consultant to ensure sewer requirements for the development were met.
  • Conduct an electrical supply audit of wiring and cable location and capacity to suit the new switchboard and CT connections.
  • Provide recommendations regarding main circuit breaker to ensure correct supply to sewer pump installation.


Value Add

 

Balpara was previously engaged to work on the Underbank Estate project, allowing for a more streamlined service offering to the client and greater knowledge of the site.

 

Balpara’s responsiveness, knowledge and skills enabled a solution to be implemented quickly, minimising time and costs.

 

Relevant Accreditation/Quality Standards

 

  • Western Water Sewage Pumping Station design standard, WSAA Sewage Pumping Station Code of Australia, AS3000 – Maximum demand calculations for the SPS and Powercor Standards.
