Street Lighting — Phase A13, Kota Bayuemas

Scope of works

Street lighting and external electrical reticulation.

What this kind of commission involves

Township and industrial park infrastructure is the part nobody photographs and everybody depends on. It is engineered ahead of the development it serves, which means designing for demand that does not yet exist, on a route that has to be reserved before anything is built over it.

Disciplines engaged

• Site-wide demand forecasting and phased capacity planning
• HV and LV reticulation routing, sizing and substation siting
• Utility corridors, ducting, manholes and reserved services routes
• Street lighting layout, photometric design and feeder pillar distribution
• Traffic light and junction signalisation works
• External water reticulation, pump stations and storage
• Telecommunications and ICT ducting infrastructure
• Gas reticulation where a piped supply is provided
• Coordination with roadworks, drainage and earthworks packages
• Utility and local authority applications and technical submissions
• As-built records and handover to the eventual operating authority

What we watch for

The failures that recur on this building type, and where we look for them.

• Services routes not reserved before the roads and plots are set out
• Capacity sized to the approved masterplan rather than the eventual build-out
• Adoption requirements of the receiving authority discovered at handover
• Street lighting designed to a spacing rule rather than a photometric result

The following describes the standard engineering scope for this sector. The specific scope of any individual commission is set by its brief and contract.
