HV Transmission and LV Distribution Power line & cable design is one of APD Engineering’s core businesses offering clients in the utilities, mining, oil and gas and land development sectors low to high voltage networks (415v – 330kv), overhead and underground installations, lattice tower and monopole structures.
APD were engaged by Essential Energy to complete large packages of reinforcement works as part of their network maintenance. This included both overhead and underground design packages all over NSW.
Secondary scope to facilitate reconfiguration of 66kV transmission lines connecting to the Alinta Power Station on the BHP network.
APD has been engaged to provide full electrical engineering, project management and as built detailing for the Canterbury Rd Braeside industrial Estate.
Southern Cross Electrical Engineering (SCEE) engaged APD to do power line modelling and design for the 66kv reconfiguration outside of Yarnima Substation to the Newman township. We completed a field inspection determining the reconfiguration required additional poles and modification of loads to existing poles and towers be reassessed. APD then provided cost effective design solutions for the new power poles and modifications to the existing power poles and towers.
APD Engineering were contracted by PLP to engineer and design three new 1.5MVA and one 1MVA 11/0.433kV kiosk substations, powerline modifications and power and fibre optic cable reticulation for Rio Tinto Iron Ore’s Wickham Accommodation Expansion.
Tom Price Transmission Tower: APD were engaged by Rio Tinto & Powerlines Plus to conduct detailed designs for the replacement of a damaged tower in WA
Provision of electrical distribution and street lighting design, nbn pit & pipe design services and construction assistance for 2 stage residential development.
As part of the re-start of the operations at Thunderbox mine, APD was engaged to undertake powerline modification and upgrade works for Saracen Minerals Holdings. This included undergrounding of existing 11kv overhead assets, installation of a new 315kV transformer, earthing, soil testing and maintenance / repairs on other existing infrastructure.
APD were engaged by Rio Tinto requiring 3 sections of overhead power lines to be undergrounded to allow for new haul roads to be constructed. After field data collection, we completed the power line modelling to AS7000 and Rio Tinto’s specifications for new and existing poles and towers. APD also provided detailed designs for structures, foundations, line profiles, earthing and more.
APD were contracted by ActewAGL to do a field survey, line assessment and detailed tower and pole designs as they intend to provide communications links between substations on their 132kV transmission network.
