Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠The Metro Substations Upgrade project is to enable the new RS1 train timetable as proposed by Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC). Due to the planned increase in electric trains, KiwiRail need to construct five new substations to improve resilience and reliability for the power requirements for the new timetable.

We wish to obtain the services of a contractor who can construct duct routes and install 33kV and 11kV cables between the Electra Paekākāriki Zone Substation (ZSS), Paekākāriki Traction Substation (TSS), and the new North Junction TSS within the Wellington Electrified Area. The work will be primarily mid-week but there will be requirements to work weekends during ‘Block of Lines’ (BoL) to complete some of the scope within the rail corridor.

We are seeking a reliable contractor with the capability, experience and capacity to support the design and deliver all installation and cable pulling activities associated with the cable route solution. Strong civil construction expertise and proven experience in high-voltage cable installation and pulling are critical to this project.

Take note of our preconditions, when considering whether you should respond!
