Teys Australia is one of Australia’s largest beef processors, exporting to more than 60 countries world-wide. CV provided a turnkey package for the Large Customer Connection (LCC) works at the new Teys Australia meat storage and distribution centre located at the Port of Brisbane. Working closely with McNab Constructions on the project, CV delivered the design and installation of an Energex outdoor substation.

Coordination between CV, Energex and the Port of Brisbane was essential to ensure the new substation could be connected to the Port’s electrical system and be fully operational prior to Christmas. The CV team identified existing gaps in the civil and electrical network during the design phase, which, having been identified early, meant the project was able to be completed on time.
CV achieved sign off from Energex for the civil works on the first inspection, which included construction of the physical substation room and installation of external conduit works. This allowed for all electrical equipment to be installed as soon as possible so that power could be achieved on site without delay.

The CV team delivered:

• Design and installation of an outdoor substation with:
  • 3 x 1.5MVA oil type transformers
  • 2 x ABB Safeplus RMUs
  • 1 x LV outdoor switchboard
• Design and installation of substation drainage
• Completion of substation Environmental Management Plan
