Wangaratta – Multi-Use Depot (MUD) Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade

The project involves electrical infrastructure upgrades to the electrical distribution network at Beersheeba Barracks in Wangaratta, Victoria. Site is to facilitate future electrical capacity growth of the site in accordance with (Manual of Infrastructure Engineering Electrical) MIEE and Defence requirements.

The design requires ground excavation works to facilitate the installation of underground electrical conduits, cables and associated access pits. All routes have been designed to facilitate both minimum cable journey and flexibility for future site expansion and electrical network additions. Removal of the
existing concrete plinth supporting the existing MSB will be required, with the installation of a new plinth (in the same location) to support the new MSB.

The Head Contractor is required to undertake geotechnical investigations and soil contamination testing of all disturbed areas as part of its initial site work.
