Design | Construction | Completions | Commissioning

The Pelligra Fortek Project is a major urban renewal project that will transform the former Ford manufacturing sites in Geelong and Broadmeadows, Victoria- improving liveability of both of these locales. The project will create a new mixed-use precinct with commercial, industrial, residential, and retail space, with investment across both stages expected to exceed $1bn. This will include the construction of a new commercial precinct, a new residential precinct, and a new industrial precinct.

CoMade will optimise the preliminary design of the new 22kV HV distribution network and 2MVA 22kv/0.4kV kiosk substations, in order to achieve further savings during the construction stage- a task made possible through CoMade’s unique design to commissioning approach. Eagles Engineers, the design engine room of the CoMade Group delivered a design that was both construction ready and met the client’s vision and expectations.

Demonstrating a clear understanding of the project, the CoMade team undertook a thorough review, identifying scope gaps between multiple disciplines, and then adapting the current design to ensure these gaps were closed. Relationships were key, working closely with other contractors and consultants to get across the full scope in order to identify opportunities for improvement. Designing collaboratively with the construction team has allowed CoMade to provide a solution that not only provides Pelligra with peace of mind regarding project deliverability, but also a high likelihood that the project will finish not just on, but below budget.

Commissioning

Across Australia and New Zealand, CoMade supports top ASX and NASDAQ companies with commissioning compliance and third-party acceptance testing for all mechanical and electrical assets for their data centres, enabling critical operations. A highly skilled team of subject matter experts provide black start power generation, proving design functionality to meet mandatory site specifications and Australian standards, addressing defects or confirming compliance.
