The Customer 

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) works as part of the community to deliver effective planning policy, efficient transport, and valuable social and economic infrastructure. DPTI manages the planning and land use system for South Australia to grow the economy and create more vibrant places for our communities, and support the effective functioning of Local Government and outback communities, this includes the management a number of arterial roads and highways in Australia.

The Opportunity 

DPTI invited the Enerven Lighting Solutions group to carry out a road lighting audit of St Bernard’s Road as the road lighting had been in service for a number of years and was due to be upgraded.

Enerven has extensive experience working with both DPTI and SA Power Networks, making us familiar with the requirements and procedures that need to be adhered to when working with each client.

The scope consisted of carrying out desktop, and site inspection activities of the luminaires on St Bernard’s Road.

The Solution 

Enerven conducted both site and desktop inspections to first determine whether any existing assets could be
reused as well as placing any assets deemed as non-compliant on a priority list for replacement.

The team calculated luminaire spacings and arrangements to determine locations where additional illumination was required, as well as locations where lower wattage luminaires could be used to reduce the ongoing energy consumption, generating potential savings. A complexity of the area was the 66kV overhead High Voltage cables, which meant certain locations had very limited installation possibilities and required extra caution to ensure safety clearances were met.

Due to our relationship with DPTI and SA Power Networks the team were able to provide a design which met the standards of both clients, allowing for a seamless transition between design and construction.
