Products designed for electrical connections must be housed in a waterproof enclosure
Cables and cable pits – cabling works must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, a registered cabler. XLPE/HDPE or elastomeric cables are encouraged, Minimum cable depths maintained. Cable pits must be lockable and trafficable by pedestrians/vehicles. Polycrete pits are NOT to be used. Dependent on the site, lids must be of composite or concrete type, and suit the intended load rating of the pit system installed. Galvanised steel/metallic lids should not be utilised unless otherwise unavoidable to suit the intended load rating of the pit system. Where the use of metallic lids is required, lids are to be coated in a heat resistant, pedestrian grade anti-slip coating
Conduits – colour to match adjoining surface. Fixings and brackets SS 316
Light poles – require communication conduits through footing where specified
Electrical requirements
Inspections and permits for all works required
Works must be installed by an electrician licensed to carry out the work
All lighting design requires sign off by an RPEQ. Category P is applicable
Prior to install consider quality, output, CPTED, future requirements
Electrical connections to embellishments must be as per manufacture instructions
All control circuits and devices to be located in main switch board
Enhanced electrical wayfinding systems may require connection to mains power
(A) Lighting - open space and security - One or more of the following: uplights, bollards lights, wall lighting, pathway post lighting, shelter lighting, and illuminated lighting. Install photoelectric (PE) cell or time clock. Anti-vandal guards fitted over lighting where appropriate
(B) Marine turtle safe lighting (where required) – Darkness is the best lighting management option at turtle nesting beaches. All designs within 100 metres of a nesting beach must follow the four guiding principles to minimise light impacts on turtles - ‘keep it off, keep it shielded, keep it low, keep it long’
Service site, electricity – Installed to allow connectivity to power
Switchboard type, meter panels and control gear suitable for site
Sites that hold events may require 3 phase or single phase, site specific
Required forms - Design compliance Form 15 and Construction certificate Form 16
