Combined Efforts for
Courthouse Sustainability

Hydraulic and Energy Metering Systems

CLIENT

Department of Communities and Justice, BGIS
SERVICE

Hydraulic , Solar, Lighting, EV Charging and Energy Metering 
LOCATION

Over 20 Courthouses across New South Wales
TIMELINE
Completed in
2023/2024

PROJECT INFORMATION

Platinum Electricians and JetBlack Plumbers were commissioned to lead a critical initiative aimed at enhancing the sustainability and operational efficiency of over 20 courthouses across New South Wales.

This comprehensive project involved the installation of advanced hydraulic and energy metering systems, enabling precise monitoring and management of resource usage. The team also supplied and  installed solar power systems, battery storage, EV chargers , LED Lighting, and switchboard upgrades across multiple courthouses .

Through meticulous planning, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to quality workmanship, our teams successfully delivered a solution that not only meets regulatory standards but also significantly contributes to the courthouses' sustainability goals.

The successful completion of this project stands as a testament to our expertise in executing complex, large-scale infrastructure upgrades with minimal disruption to daily operations.

PROJECT SPECIFIC
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS


Muswellbrook Courthouse:

Addressed the non-feasibility of normal hours work and the requirement for a new metering DB. Solutions included using wireless connections for water meters and split-core CTs for easier installation without circuit interruption.

Tweed Heads Courthouse:

Managed space constraints and accessibility issues for new metering DB installations, utilising TF-55 split-core CTs across essential, non-essential, and HVAC systems.

Tamworth Courthouse

Implemented a two-pronged metering strategy to avoid disrupting critical services, utilizing wireless connections due to the geographical separation of metering points.

Coffs Harbour Courthouse:

Integrated metering for essential and non-essential services, managing extensive cable runs for EV charger DBs and implementing TF-55 CTs.

The combined efforts of Platinum Electricians and JetBlack Plumbers in installing hydraulic and energy metering systems across multiple courthouses have significantly contributed to the Department of Communities and Justice's goals of efficient resource management and operational sustainability. Through careful planning, technical innovation, and a focus on minimally invasive installation practices, the projects have successfully enhanced the monitoring capabilities, paving the way for improved management and efficiency.
