Daly’s Constructions

Watt It Takes: From Design to Delivery

Daly’s Constructions, a family-owned and operated business with a 52-year legacy in the energy infrastructure industry. Daly’s expertise proved invaluable in navigating the complexities of the Pakenham Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP).

“We provide specialist design, civil works, cable installation, jointing and terminating services to the energy infrastructure industry across Australia and New Zealand, specialising in major sub-transmission and transmission design and construct underground projects,” said Alex Anderson, Operations Manager at Daly’s Constructions.

The Pakenham LXRP demanded meticulous planning and execution to ensure minimal disruption to existing infrastructure and services. Daly’s Constructions rose to the occasion, contributing a team of 20 skilled professionals from their overall workforce of 100.

Their specific tasks included the crucial relocation of electrical assets. “We relocated high voltage and low voltage AusNet Services electrical assets to enable the LXRP and corresponding rail works to proceed,” Alex said.

Further demonstrating their comprehensive capabilities, Daly’s Constructions also undertook an upgrade of the rail corridor’s high-voltage underground cables. This involved not only replacing outdated infrastructure but ensuring its seamless integration with the broader LXRP network. “Multiple crews had to be coordinated across various work fronts in close cooperation with NWPA and AusNet Services,” Alex said, emphasising the collaborative nature of the undertaking.

While Daly’s Constructions didn’t deploy any entirely new products on this project, their success lay in their adept application of existing technologies and their commitment to safety and quality. Their long-standing reputation is built upon a strong value system prioritising these element.

“Our company has a strong value system based on principles that include commitment to safety, quality of service, integrity in our relationships and client satisfaction,” Alex said. This commitment has translated into a record of consistent, high-quality workmanship.

The Pakenham LXRP is just one example of Daly’s Constructions’ broad portfolio of significant projects across Australia and New Zealand. Their expertise is currently contributing to a wide range of initiatives, reflecting their leading position in the industry.

“We’re currently working on the North East Link (NEL), Suburban Rail Loop (SRL), West Gate Tunnel Project (WGTP), other LXRP projects, the Melton Renewable Energy Hub, and design and construction of sub-transmission supplies to power new Data Centres,” Alex said, highlighting the scope and diversity of their involvement in shaping critical infrastructure across the country.

Daly’s Constructions’ contribution to the Pakenham LXRP showcases their ability to successfully manage complex, large-scale projects. Their expertise in underground electrical infrastructure, combined with their unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and client satisfaction, solidifies their reputation as a reliable and capable partner for future major infrastructure projects.
