Corinda and Caboolture Substation Upgrades
Degnan has secured Queensland Rail’s Caboolture and Corinda Feeder Station Site Integration Works projects. We’re thrilled to be working with Queensland Rail once again; our experience working within a live rail environment, along with our commitment to collaboration, will ensure successful delivery.
Electrical substations are critical railway infrastructure responsible for powering electric trains and these upgrades will ensure communities remain connected — even during power outages or planned maintenance.
Scope of Work Corinda
- New switch room
- New Auxiliary Supply Transformer
- New LV main distribution board and isolation transformer for LV supply requirements
- New overhead line masts and three new portal installation
- New high voltage isolator installation
- Conduit system and cables for high voltage, low voltage and communication systems installation
- Air Insulated Switchgears (AIS) replaced with more environmentally friendly Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS)
The substations will be beautified with artworks celebrating stunning flora and fauna of the region, these colourful murals from local artists will foster community pride as part of Queensland Rail’s ongoing Positive pARTnerships Program.
Not only will the new substations safeguard network reliability, they will also future-proof the South East Queensland network by providing backup power supply for the Cross River Rail (CRR) project and have the capabilities to support major projects like the Beerburrum-Landsborough duplication works.
Scope of Work Caboolture
- New switch room
- Two new traction power transformers installed in a new power transformer compound complete with containment bund and firewalls
