Scope
​
Work includes the installation of an LV switch-room located adjacent to the Western Power 132 kV switchyard on the footprint of an existing workshop that will be demolished. The new switch-room will supply power to a new Water Treatment Plant, a Fire Services Building and a few other services.

This includes the provision of all documentation, methods, and procedures to undertake the works in accordance with Synergy strict management systems.
HLE are also responsible for the design, supply, installation, earthing, commissioning of a switch-room including switchgear and its integration into the existing CKB power distribution system. HLE shall provide and install programmable logic controller (PLC) cabinets inside the switch-room that will serve as an interface and communication channel between CKB and the switch-room, and perform Kwinana Power Station BoP functions.
The Water Treatment Plant and the Fire Services Building will be powered from the new switchgear as part of our scope are responsible for the re feeding of these cables at the feeder side.
