Supplying underground electrical cable to support an Airservices Australia project at Tennant Creek, NT.
Background:
We were contracted to complete a project for Airservices Australia in Tennant Creek, NT.
The project required the installation of two x 1.2km runs of opposite direction 950V AC underground electrical cable from a central MSB to step up and step down transformers. Connection and commission to navigation systems was also required.
Solution:
We installed 950V AC underground electrical cable. All of the unique items for installation and safety were transported to the site via Brisbane, Queensland.
Due to the heavily regulated and critical nature of the Aviation industry, working on existing essential services can be challenging. For this reason, a systematic approach when utilising existing underground trunking services under airport runways and established roads was adopted.
When the underground services simply did not exist, new sections were opened up to identify the issue and were rectified in accordance with regulations.
Outcome:
We were able to successfully supply and install the necessary underground electrical cable for our customer. The project was also delivered ahead of schedule and to compliance standards.
