Energy Australia Kurnell Sydney , Aus.
Monitoring construction of : Kurnell Substation expansion
EnergyAustralia is replacing two 132,000 Volt transmission feeders (each
feeder is a bundle of three cables) between Earlwood and Matraville
(Canterbury and Bunnerong subtransmission substations). These feeders
are key elements of the supply to inner metropolitan Sydney and they are
scheduled to be replaced by the end of 2010.
The new supply to
Bunnerong will be established via two new 132,000 Volt feeders from
Kurnell (instead of from Earlwood), including a submarine cable crossing
of Botany Bay. The project also includes associated substation works at
the Kurnell and Bunnerong substations.
The Botany Bay Cable
Project key part of EnergyAustralia’s plans to maintain a safe and
reliable electricity supply to homes and businesses in the southern,
eastern and inner suburbs of Sydney.
The cable installation is
being carried out on behalf of EnergyAustralia by VISCAS Corporation and
its subcontractors. EnergyAustralia has contracted Van Oord to conduct
the dredging works.
There is no time-lapse available yet for this project.
