The Sand Bypass Station Transformer and 415 Volt Distribution Board Replacement project aimed to address the aging electrical infrastructure at the Sand Bypass Station. The existing equipment was under capacity, outdated, non-compliant, and the arc fault risk was unacceptable for the work environment.
The project began with thorough site investigations to identify constraints and opportunities to improve the concept design. TEW collaborated with the client to ensure the timing and sequencing of construction activities were carefully coordinated to minimise disruptions and adhere to the agreed-upon project schedule.

The new equipment, including transformers and the 415 volt Distribution board, were procured and installed as per the project requirements. The existing infrastructure was demolished and removed, and all waste materials were lawfully disposed of.
Throughout the project, a strong emphasis was placed on safety, environmental considerations, and stakeholder engagement. Regular meetings were held to discuss project progress, address concerns, and identify opportunities for improvement. The project team implemented recovery strategies whenever necessary to ensure the project stayed on track in terms of time, cost, and quality.
