Western Harbour Tunnel
Sydney region, NSW
One technical standard, held across multiple packages.
Nebula delivers high-voltage electrical works across multiple packages on the Western Harbour Tunnel, for a Tier 1 transport infrastructure joint venture: installation, testing and commissioning of the 33kV system and the plant behind it.
A multi-package structure on a Tier 1 job means sequencing against other contractors’ fronts and holding one technical standard across every package, rather than letting each one drift to its own. The commissioning scope reaches past the switchgear into GOOSE IEC 61850 protection, SCADA control and BMS integration.
What the scope covered
- 33kV GIS switchgear installed and commissioned
- Transformer and OLTC equipment
- Battery charger and UPS systems
- Secondary wiring throughout
- GOOSE IEC 61850 protection, SCADA control and BMS integration
33kV GIS, from installation through to GOOSE.
HV electrical works across multiple packages including installation, testing and commissioning.
Installation
33kV GIS switchgear, battery charger systems, transformer and OLTC equipment, secondary wiring and UPS systems.
Commissioning
Full primary and secondary commissioning of the 33kV GIS, GOOSE IEC 61850 protection, SCADA control and BMS integration.
Testing
Transformer commissioning including high potential testing, tan delta, turns ratio, winding resistance, OLTC and Buchholz points verification.
Outcome Packages energised, hold points cleared, defects at handover.
