  • Outcome: Improved property views and reliability, delivered on time and on budget

The Church Point project was a powerline undergrounding and network relocation delivered by DM Electrical as principal contractor for a private client, removing the overhead powerlines and poles in front of the property to open up the Pittwater water views. DM Electrical managed the project from concept to completion, including design, approvals, Ausgrid liaison, civil works, and final energisation.

Scope and delivery

Acting as principal contractor, DM Electrical managed the project from concept to completion, including design, approvals, Ausgrid liaison, civil works, electrical installation, network coordination, and final energisation.

Undergrounding the network

The project involved extensive trenching and underground conduit installation beneath Pittwater Road to move the existing overhead electrical assets underground. Working closely with Ausgrid, DM Electrical coordinated network outages, approvals, asset relocations, and commissioning to move from overhead to underground supply cleanly.

Three existing power poles were removed and all associated Ausgrid network assets were relocated underground. The works also included transferring and reconnecting several neighbouring properties previously supplied by the overhead network, giving them new underground connections and improving both network reliability and the streetscape.

The outcome

Through detailed planning and close coordination with Ausgrid and local stakeholders, the project was delivered on time and within budget. The result was a satisfied client and neighbours who now enjoy unobstructed Pittwater views and a reliable underground electricity network.

    We had a power outage across half our office and couldn't find the issue. DM sent an experienced electrician who solved it within 20 minutes. Extremely professional, clean and efficient. We can't recommend Dan and the team highly enough.
