New Farm Power Upgrade for Residential Complex
Switchboard Upgrade
The Body Corporate Committee for this residential complex reached out to our electrical team to resolve ongoing power issues where they were experiencing frequent nuisance tripping.
The building block overall power usage had begun exceeding its maximum allocated supply. This was causing repeated interruptions for residents and raising concerns around safety and reliability.
After conducting a detailed assessment, our team identified that the existing consumer mains were no longer adequate for the load requirements and the main switchboard was located in a non‑compliant position. To address the issue, we designed a comprehensive upgrade solution that future‑proofed the installation and ensured full compliance with current Australian Standards.
The project involved upgrading the consumer mains and relocating the main switchboard to a compliant and accessible location. As the works required cutting through a concrete driveway, a professional services locator was used prior to excavation to identify existing underground services and avoid any damage during installation.
The result was a significant improvement in power stability across the complex. Residents now benefit from a reliable electrical supply, reduced outages, and peace of mind knowing the system is safe, compliant, and capable of supporting modern power demands
