Design and installation of four 30m lighting towers with floodlights, distribution board, and underground reticulation
Timeline
Completed on 23 May 2022
Scope
Electrical installation for a 120-man contractors camp including temporary construction wiring, generator-fed ATS board, and modular building connections.
Contract value: $670,000
Challenge
The project required a rapid deployment of electrical infrastructure for a remote contractors camp. The challenge was to ensure full compliance with NT WorkSafe standards while managing temporary construction wiring across multiple modular buildings in a remote location with limited access.
Solution
Wiring all buildings with construction-grade cabling back to a Main Switchboard (MSB)
Installing a Laundry chassis board to run sub-circuits for each building
Running submains and cable reticulation for complete installation
Connecting an ATS board fed by two generators, with full earthing and MEN system installed

Conducting full testing and certification under AS3000 & NT WorkSafe guidelines
Results
Compliance:Certified by NT WorkSafe with no non-compliances observed
Efficiency:All electrical reticulation underground and overhead in wiring enclosures to multiple DBs through camp to even loading throughout the installation for generator supply.
Safety:All work tested and verified by licensed electricians
Infrastructure:Camp layout included bunk houses, ablution blocks, laundry, fuel storage, water pumps, and septic systems
