Western Power – Northam Substation Transform Bund
Feb 2023 - Current
The project entailed a broad spectrum of activities, including the provision, installation, construction, and removal of both civil and primary electrical infrastructure. This involves a range of tasks such as site preparation, the creation of new concrete footings and foundations, the erection of a fresh transformer bund and the placement of precast concrete fire walls.
Additionally, the project encompasses supply and installation of conduits, new earthing grid for the new assets and installation of Puraceptor and drainage systems from the transformer bund. Cable trenches are also put in place in conjunction with structural activities, facilitating the installation of high-voltage cables and earthing systems. Moreover, the project involves the decommissioning of the 66kV yard, followed by the reinstatement of the site and surfacing to ensure the successful conclusion.
