The Challenge
Powering th Goald Coast Commonwealth Games
An important part of our job in powering these events is ensuring that we leave no trace when they come to an end. That’s why the team will ensure each site is left just as it was originally found, until everything is demobilised in May.
Given the geographical scope of the event, and the fact that we’ve laid enough cable to cover the distance from Sydney to Canberra, this is no mean feat!
It’s with projects this extensive that our specialist remote monitoring system (ARM) comes in handy. ARM gathers and monitors vital information throughout the sites and ensures events can go off without a hitch.
Gold Coast 2018 has been a real privilege to be a part of. These events allow thousands of athletes to compete on an international stage, plus millions around the world to appreciate their talent. Although a lot of work goes into that two-week period of competition, our partnership with these events goes far beyond this, and we’re proud to have played our part at every stage.
