Infratec has been engaged by Aurora Energy to deliver on its Fast Track programme, which is a large pole replacement project working in Dunedin, Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes.
The Fast Track programme will use a range of methods, from repair to complete replacement, using the best available option to fix the problem:
Replace the old pole with a new one to modern design standards
Repair or reinforce a pole using an independently verified method
Retest the pole using an independently verified testing method and where assessed as sound, update its condition assessment
Convert the overhead line to underground where retaining an overhead line is not practical
Support the pole using a temporary fix until a permanent solution is possible.
