CAQA Gridworks Networks is an electricity supply industry contractor that builds, inspects, maintains and operates transmission lines, distribution networks, zone substations and rail traction overhead systems on behalf of network owners and a metropolitan rail operator. Crews work on energised and de-energised high voltage and low voltage apparatus, string conductors on steel towers, joint underground cables, treat and replace poles, control vegetation near powerlines and maintain the 1,500 volt direct current overhead wiring that powers suburban trains. The business also runs a network operations centre that issues access authorities, develops and directs switching programs, and monitors the network by supervisory control and data acquisition for its clients.
The business is organised into six departments across three depots. Overhead Distribution, Underground Cables and Network Operations, Safety and Training are based at the Ballarat central depot, which also houses the network operations centre staffed around the clock. Transmission Lines and Substations and Protection work from the Traralgon eastern depot near the transmission corridor to the Latrobe Valley. Rail Traction operates from the Sunshine depot on night possessions when trains are not running. Field crews work a nine day fortnight with a rostered storm response standby, and the operations centre runs three shifts.
Every conductor is live until it is isolated, proven de-energised and earthed under an access authority. There are no shortcuts on a network.
Switching operators, access recipients and crews work to a single agreed program. If the plan changes, everyone stops and re-briefs.
The network runs through farms, streets and bush. Crews leave sites safe and tidy, protect the environment and keep customers informed about outages.
