Challenges & Solutions
Challenge | Solution |
Site located 238km from our home office, requiring complex logistics | Coordinated delivery schedules with Addelec and mobilized tools and equipment efficiently to and from site |
BP Road House and sub-tenant shared the same power supply and needed to remain operational | Implemented staged work zones and clear signage to ensure uninterrupted access. Maintained strong communication with stakeholders to minimize impact |
Coordination with DNSP (Ergon) for power integration | Scheduled DNSP activities in advance and maintained proactive communication |
Multi-party communication between our team, Addelec, and NRMA | Established centralized communication protocols and held regular check-ins to ensure alignment |
