Large scale education centres need to have reliable, safe electrical work and state of the art technology to make sure students are getting the best experience they can. Westwide Electrical Services was chosen as a partner in the $20 million refurbishment work to Curtin University Building 501 which saw a total redevelopment of the building in 2014, bringing it up to modern standards almost 40 years after construction.
First the demolition phase of the project called for a complete strip out of existing services and fit out back to its bare bones before any upgrades could be made. The existing Data hub, which serviced more than 20 buildings on campus, had to be maintained and relocated in the process without any interruption of services.
At the same time all communications services passing through the building had to be rerouted and because these tied in to the wider systems at Curtin, uptime was a priority. The dated communications infrastructure was upgraded to Cat 6 and fibre optic technology, providing a sustainable solution with the latest systems. The classrooms were fitted out with state of the art audio visual equipment, and high speed wireless connectivity was made available to all areas.
Education projects like this one are an exciting challenge in terms of the electrical installation and maintenance, for the scale and intricacy of the required work as well as the need to minimise disruption to the wider campus. Westwide Electrical Services provide end-to-end expert services, from estimating and project management right through to installation, upgrades and maintenance. We focus on delivering high quality work safely, on time, and within budget because our clients want only the best work in their education facility.
Industrial projects offer a unique challenge for electricians and electrical project management because they normally require upgrades to electrical installations created for a specialised operation, or entirely new high end systems in a bespoke construction project. Westwide Electrical Services provide end-to-end solutions for industrial electrical installations and data cabling including estimating, purchasing, project management, and upgrades.
Westwide Electrical Services are the chosen partner on large industrial projects because of our attention to detail, purchasing power, and expertise in project management. One project we are particularly proud to be involved with is the Barminco multi use facility in Hazelmere. This 9,500 square metre facility on a 45,000 square metre lot was designed to consolidate the client’s offices, mining supply warehouse, and maintenance workshop in to one flagship location.
Each of these spaces required electrical and data cabling designed to work how the staff worked. That meant state of the art communications and data cabling in the office space, industrial grade electrical installations in the machinery supply and maintenance spaces, and a clear understanding of the safety requirements in each case. In addition, there are extra spaces within the Hazelmere location, including a cafe and gymnasium.
Westwide Electrical Services are trusted to work with architects, electrical consultants, and builders to ensure the finished result exceeds the client’s expectations every time. Industrial projects need the electrical work to be completely fit for purpose and resilient enough to handle heavy use for many years. As Perth’s trusted industrial electricians and project managers on large scale projects, Westwide Electrical Services have built a shining reputation across all sectors through hard work and attention to detail. Get in touch today.
Undertaking commercial electrical maintenance work in Perth’s heritage buildings requires a professional approach and attention to detail at every turn. Adhering to the Heritage Act of Western Australia is essential in order to preserve the building’s rich history.
Regulations are in place to protect heritage buildings while commercial electrical maintenance and other construction goes on. Westwide are practiced implementing achievable solutions that meet these important regulations.
The custom nature of the work and the complexities of heritage legislation will often give rise to challenges from the estimation stage through to practical completion. Our team’s expertise allows us to navigate these situations to always get the job done on time and within budget.
Every heritage building is unique but they all have one thing in common; the technology and electrical needs of today’s interconnected world are very different from when these buildings were planned and built. This means they often have limited infrastructure required for modern equipment which presents unique challenges for Westwide Electrical to overcome. Our experience and knowledge in this field allow us to work closely with electrical consultants, builders and architects to make sure the building’s original charm is fully retained.
When the upgrades are complete and you need a reputable commercial electrical maintenance provider, Westwide Electrical Services are again here to help. We like to build relationships with clients; our diverse offering means we can be with you every step of the way from early designs, to estimation, right through the redevelopment work to final handover and beyond.
