The Power Beneath Your Feet
[001] Project Overview
UPD was engaged to deliver the electrical servicing design for the
UPD6180 Orion Precinct
, a large multi-stage industrial development comprising
six development stages
. The project included the design of extensive electrical infrastructure, staged public lighting, advanced works and utility coordination to support the progressive delivery of the estate.
With a projected maximum electrical demand of
19.72 MVA
, the development required significant network planning and close coordination with Western Power and other utility providers to ensure infrastructure was delivered efficiently and in line with the staged construction program.
Location:
Wattleup, Western Australia
Year:
2021 – 2025
Services:
Street Lighting, Telecommunications
Network:
Western Power, Telstra
[002] Scope of Works
UPD’s services included:
Staged HV and LV reticulation design across six development stages.
Extensive public lighting design, including additional lighting packages and advanced works.
Coordination of Western Power network augmentation requirements.
Utility coordination and management of major telecommunications asset relocations.
Design of compliant V Category road lighting for key transport infrastructure.
[003] Key Challenges
The Orion Precinct presented several significant engineering and coordination challenges.
The development’s ultimate electrical demand of
19.72 MVA
required the installation of
three 22 kV high-voltage feeders
to provide sufficient network capacity and maintain supply reliability. Fortunately, the estate’s close proximity to the local Zone Substation enabled these network augmentations to be completed without extensive upstream reinforcement works, simplifying the overall servicing strategy.
A major component of the project involved the relocation of an extensive
Telstra telecommunications network
along
Russell Road
. Approximately
10 kilometres of existing telecommunications infrastructure
required relocation to accommodate the road and subdivision works. This required detailed staging, coordination with Telstra, civil designers and construction contractors to minimise disruption while maintaining continuity of telecommunications services.
The project also included the design of
V Category road lighting
for the Russell Road intersection. UPD undertook detailed lighting calculations and design to ensure the installation complied with the relevant Australian Standards and Main Roads Western Australia requirements, delivering a safe and compliant lighting solution for this high-traffic intersection.
[004] Project Outcomes
Delivered electrical servicing designs for a six-stage industrial estate with an ultimate demand of
19.72 MVA
.
Designed and coordinated the installation of
three high-voltage feeders
to support long-term network capacity.
Successfully managed the staged delivery of extensive public lighting and advanced works packages.
Coordinated the relocation of approximately
10 km of Telstra telecommunications infrastructure
, supporting both the subdivision and associated road upgrades.
Delivered compliant
V Category lighting
for the Russell Road intersection, meeting all applicable Australian Standards and Main Roads WA requirements.
Worked collaboratively with Western Power, Telstra, civil consultants and project stakeholders to facilitate the successful delivery of complex electrical and utility infrastructure across all stages of the development.
