Description
of project
The Coles Supermarket division continued their safety identification
and rectification program across Australia. Works included
replacement of defective electrical switches to front end
checkouts with new improved control switches. Delicatessen
department upgraded with the installation of protective IP56
sleeving to cover flexible cords on slicing machines, switch
protection rails and RCD protection of donut machines.
The project had many challenges, working while stores were
trading, tight delivery time frames and availability of materials
to name just a few. With a team effort from project managers
and site staff across Australia, the project was completed
to budget and on time.
Coles Express Petrol division also awarded SJ
Electric the contract
for 48 sites across Australia.
The contract required power upgrades, switchboard installations
and safety surveys of the existing electrical installation
to allow for new site electrical equipment to be installed.
The project required in many locations, transformer replacements,
road works, switchboard replacements and RCD protection to
all power outlets.
With a diverse range of site locations and state regulations
across Australia many and varied challenges needed to be addresses
and solutions implemented. With the assistance of SJ
Electric national
project managers, state supply authorities and client cooperation
during store trading and arranging for power shut downs, this
sometimes difficult project was completed with positive results. |
