This was a complex and challenging project involving a great deal of coordination not only between the substation team, but also the cabling crew working on the wider NAaN project.

Network Assets & Major Projects, PowerNet

The delivery of this project, which had high importance for customers in the area, would not have been a success without the contribution of Edison’s project management knowledge and experience.

Stephen McAdams, Transpower

The project had already commenced and it was becoming evident that additional resources would be required to assist the project team to ensure the project was delivered on time and on budget. Within two days of us making this decision Edison were able to provide Project Management support which was able to deliver immediate onsite technical support and supervision of the line build contract. This ability to react so swiftly and effectively impressed both Meridian and the Alliance Leadership Team and instilled confidence in our ability to ensure WEL’s commitment to deliver the entire project would be met.
