Butcherbird Expansion Project
Cavell Contracting completed the electrical works for new and relocated site offices and amenities as part of the Butcherbird Expansion Project.
The scope covered power distribution, generator connections, building supplies and electrical testing across the new and existing infrastructure.
Cavell’s scope included:
- Electrical infrastructure: Installation of underground electrical conduits and cabling, distribution board installation and earthing connections.
- Generator supplies: Installation and connection of the new generator supply, together with electrical reconnection and earthing configuration changes for the relocated backup generator.
- Building connections: Electrical disconnection and reconnection of relocated offices and crib facilities, plus connections for new lunchroom, toilet and shower facilities.
- Testing and energisation: Electrical inspections, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and RCD testing, with pre-energisation checks on the new distribution equipment.
- Completion and handover: Electrical defect rectification, completed test records and progressive handover of the electrical works. Butcherbird Expansion Project
The electrical works supported a staged relocation, with new amenities brought into service before existing buildings were disconnected. This required coordination between the new installations and the electrical supplies serving the existing facilities.
