Mackex Services performed specialist high-voltage switching and metering upgrade works at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Lucas Heights campus — Australia’s national nuclear research facility. Works delivered critical HV infrastructure upgrades under stringent safety and security protocols appropriate to a federal government nuclear research site.
Works encompassed upgrade and replacement of HV switching equipment and revenue metering infrastructure at the Lucas Heights campus, including decommissioning of existing equipment, installation of new HV switchgear, protection relay upgrades and metering equipment installation. All works were coordinated with Ausgrid for network interface and metering accuracy compliance, and performed under ANSTO’s site safety management system with security clearance requirements for all personnel.
Operating within Australia’s only nuclear research facility required comprehensive personnel security clearances and adherence to ANSTO’s strict site safety and radiation protection protocols. All works were planned and executed to avoid supply interruptions to critical nuclear research facilities, with detailed outage management plans approved by ANSTO’s facilities and operations teams. HV switching operations required coordination with Ausgrid’s network control centre and ANSTO’s internal electrical team to manage the campus supply safely.
