Essential Energy
Central Western NSW
2023
Mackex Services undertook overhead network reconstruction works for Essential Energy across Central Western NSW, upgrading ageing rural distribution infrastructure to improve reliability and capacity for agricultural and regional residential customers across a remote network area.
The programme involved replacement of deteriorated timber poles and conductors across multiple rural feeders, including SWER (Single Wire Earth Return) line upgrades, insulator replacement, and installation of new pole-top switchgear. Works spanned multiple properties across a large geographic area requiring detailed access coordination with landowners and Essential Energy’s network operations team.
Performing energised overhead line works in remote locations with limited access presented significant logistical challenges. Works required live-line techniques to avoid supply interruptions to rural customers who depend on continuous power for agricultural operations. Environmental constraints including native vegetation and wildlife corridors required careful work method planning. Remote logistics and equipment mobilisation added complexity to programme delivery.
