This project involved the relocation of underground conduits and fibre optic infrastructure in the heart of Sydney’s Central Business District (CBD). Due to the high-density urban environment and critical nature of existing network infrastructure, the work was conducted during nighttime hours to minimise disruption to businesses, traffic, and public transport.

Project Challenges

• Nighttime Operations
• Traffic and Pedestrian Management
• Existing Infrastructure Risks:

ROC Approach

Before relocating conduits and fibre in the CBD, thorough planning is essential. This includes site assessments, locating underground utilities, and assessing potential risks. Securing permits, coordinating with stakeholders, and implementing traffic management ensure minimal disruptions. Risk mitigation, service continuity, and proper documentation help maintain efficiency and compliance.

Results

Minimal Disruption: The relocation was completed with minimal impact on businesses, residents, and public transport due to efficient nighttime execution and strategic traffic management.

Seamless Service Continuity: Fibre and conduit transitions were executed without major outages, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for critical infrastructure and enterprise clients.

Regulatory Compliance: All work adhered to local council, environmental, and safety regulations, avoiding fines or delays.

Stakeholder Satisfaction: Effective communication and coordination resulted in positive feedback from businesses, authorities, and the public.
