Overview

Focus Construct was engaged under an executed Design and Construct contract for major electrical infrastructure works at the Woolworths-related logistics warehouses at 338 Bradman Street. The contracting principal was a Mapletree-related company, with bank guarantees used in lieu of cash retention on later claims.

The scope was a large live-site electrical upgrade: planning/design; two new main switchboards; energy metering system (EMS); extensive consumer mains and submains; new/modified distribution boards across warehouses; circuit consolidations; cable containment; new switchroom construction and make-good of the old switchroom; temporary generator interfaces; factory/site acceptance testing, commissioning and as-builts. Delivery required night works, Energex interfaces, service cutovers, and continuous warehouse operations.

What made it work
Full electrical upgrade while Woolworths warehouse operations continued — traffic management, driveway constraints, truck interfaces
New MSBs, DBs, submains, EMS metering — high-risk live cutovers and blackout windows
Major night works package plus additional night supervision — programme recovery without full daytime shutdown
Purlin strengthening and seismic/containment pathways
Operational delay management across cyclone, night works, uncontrolled ground, a DB switchboard fire, Energex rescheduling and service cutovers
