Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment: Moore Park
- June 29, 2021
TOBCO has been working hard around the clock to support the upcoming Sydney Football Stadium redevelopment in Moore Park. It has been a joy to work with our client, Fredon Industries, to deliver the 11kV HV feeders package which will support over 42,000 patrons in the stadium at any one time.
The project involves the installation of over 2km of conduit and HV cable in some of the busiest roads in Sydney. Being in such a sensitive area, the project team has dealt with several challenges over the course of this project. The project’s environmental guidelines stated that crews could not work within the same work zone for more than two nights out of a seven-day period. Such restrictions led to an ever-changing program of works and prompt problem solving from both site and project team members.
In addition to this, almost the entire trench excavation has been in hard rock making it tough work but the crew members have done an amazing job to persevere through the countless hours of rock-breaking. To add to this, the area is absolutely riddled with existing services such as direct buried 132kV transmission cables and an ancient Telstra access tunnel which was constructed in 1901! Due to this, the project team has had to implement an alternate methodology including boring techniques along with conventional trenching at over 2.5m deep in very tricky locations.
This project has been active for 5 months now and is scheduled to complete by mid-July which is a good outcome considering the difficulties involved.
TOBCO are proud of the team delivering this project who are demonstrating our 5 key values; in particular TEAM WORK, OWNING the project and portraying our CAN-DO attitude.
Well done team and keep up the good work!
